PANTENE Breakage Defence shampoo & conditioner review.

PANTENE Breakage Defence shampoo & conditioner review.

I have been cruel to my poor hair. Due to having dyed my hair a lot in the past and using hair straighteners to style my hair, my hair is quite damaged. It tends to break and snap when I comb it after washing and when daily brushing. So I have been looking into getting better products for it to make my hair a bit happier and healthier. 

After seeing some bloggers really hype this product up I thought I would try it out for myself. As it says on the bottle, it is meant to be like a defence for your hair. It claims to stop the breakage of hair from combing/brushing. Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed by this product. I have been trying it out for weeks now and I have seen no difference. My hair still breaks just as much as it did when I was using a different shampoo and conditioner combination. And it also falls out just as much too, thinning out my thick hair. I found that no matter how much of the conditioner I lathered into my hair, my hair would still be really tangled as well making it so difficult to comb through. And it was like this no matter what I did. Such as if I tried to really rinse all the conditioner out, brush my hair before going into the bath or leave the conditioner on my hair for a longer amount of time nothing seemed to make it better! I was really hoping that this product was going to do wonders on my hair, but I can honestly say it has done nothing. Therefore I personally would not rate this product. I know of other bloggers who have really liked this product, so it might have been different for my hair I am not sure but it certainly wasn't for me. 

Can anybody recommend any great hair products for damaged hair?

Garnier Ultimate Blends 1 minute treatment MIRACLE

Garnier Ultimate Blends 1 minute treatment MIRACLE

Unfortunately I am a lady who loves to style her hair with heat. I also love to experiment with my hair colour quite a bit. Therefore my hair is often in need of a bit of pampering and major repairing. Over the years of using the beloved straighteners and hair dyes, the ends of my hair have become split and the length of my hair gets quite damaged. I always use conditioner when I wash my hair anyway, but I like to treat my hair with something a bit more advanced than the just standard conditioner so that it stays in better condition.

I purchased the brown coconut oil and cocoa butter tube of the 1 minute treatment conditioner from Garnier after watching "Fleur De Force" on YouTube recommend it on one of her recent videos. All you have to do with this product is wash your hair with any shampoo (there are Garnier ultimate blends shampoos to match these), rinse this out, towel dry your hair and then use this treatment instead of the conditioner you would normally use. As it says on the tube, it only takes 1 minute to work its magic. I usually leave it on for a little bit longer just so that the product has more time on my hair. Then you just rinse this out of your hair.

I couldn't believe the actual difference it made to the condition in my hair after just one application! Sometimes you purchase a product because it claims to do so many things and actually you find it is just like any standard product and you are left feeling quite disappointed. This product actually did what is printed on the tube. It did make my hair feel, and look sleek. But what I was so happy about was the magic spell it cast on my hairs condition! My hair feels in much better condition since using this, it looks in a lot better condition and it has even seemed to make my nasty split ends nicer! The texture of the conditioner is thicker than standard conditioners, it is a bit more like a thick hair mask texture which I think is what makes it so great. As well as the fabulous performance this product has had on my hair, it even leaves my hair smelling delicious the day after I have washed it. 

I cannot fault this product. I would say that it is my favourite conditioner treatment for my hair along with the Aussie conditioners. The only thing I could possibly moan about, is that I need more! I got about 7 applications out of one tube because I have long, thick hair so I just need more hehe! There are a range of different ultimate blends treatments for whatever your hair care needs. They are a great price as well. I got mine when they were marked down at half price in the drugstore Boots. Run and grab yours quickly!

Have you tried this yet? If so, were you as impressed as I am?
