Pantene Pro-Vitamin Essence, Daily Repair Mist, Weightless Leave-On Treatment Strengthens & Rebuilds Damaged Hair, Reduces Breakage, 2.5 Fl Oz

I was SO excited to see this go on sale and try it out. My hair length goes to my bra strap, texture is mixed with my grey being wirey/frizzy and the rest being fine, straight and tangles easily. Pantene directions are 5-10 sprays on damp hair before leave-in conditioning/heat spray. Pantene also says it can be used on dry hair. Of note, I use the Pantene 10-in-1 for my leave-in conditioning heat protectant. OK, tried it on dry hair as soon as I got it. It felt not great with this application method. I wonder if people saying it felt sticky or left a residue were applying it to dry hair. I would only do it this way again if I was applying before bed with plans to wash in the morning. I used it this morning on freshly washed, damp hair. I started with the max amount of 10 sprays knowing that it could be too much. I distributed both to my roots and lengths, as directed. Next, I applied my normal heat protectant in the same amount I normally use and only to my lengths. I blow dried my hair like normal. The results???? Roots and the top portion of my hair looked great. My lengths were weighed down and greasy looking in some places. So this Essence product is lightweight as claimed based on my roots. I need to figure out the right amount to use on my lengths knowing I use a second product there. I feel confident that the quantity of both products was too much for my hair type and reducing the quantity of sprays will be great. My hair is soft, not sticky at all, so the residue issue doesnt appear to be a problem when applied to damp hair thats blown dry. The scent is the classic Pantene scent. Not sure why they hype this up with the perfume mentions. It's literally just the normal Pantene shampoo scent which I happen to like. I would definitely buy again

This product is advertised for damaged hair. My hair isn't damaged much (let's face it, we all have some damage), but it's very fine. I prefer to keep my hair long, and with it being fine, the ends tend to dry out. I also struggle with volume and tangles. I love Pantene products and my hair has been happiest since I've been consistently using Pantene Shampoos and Conditioners, so I was excited to try this product. The first thing I noticed was how beautifully packaged this product is. It's very appealing and feels luxurious to hold. The scent came next. I was WORRIED about this. I'm sensitive to smells and usually something that advertises "coconut" still overdoes it with the artificial coconut fragrance, which is awful. I hate it and it gives me a headache. I steer clear of "tropical breeze" perfumes. This product, however, has a light, realistic coconut aroma. It smells like a tropical breeze should - light, fresh, and a little warm. I have been told by strangers that I smell good when I walk by, even when I'm not wearing other perfumed products. I mentioned that I'm concerned with dry ends, volume, and tangles when it comes to my hair. This product does a great job of moisturizing my ends without weighing down my hair. This is a thin line I walk with my hair texture. A lot of leave-in products have me looking like I just crawled out of a bog. With this, I don't have to sacrifice style for moisture. My hair has been much more manageable as well. I don't have to comb it as frequently, and it's just plain softer. I have already purchased a second bottle and I hope to keep this in my hair care routine.

This spray is a must-have in my hair routine! The Pantene Pro-V Essence is super lightweight, smells amazing, and instantly makes my hair feel softer and smoother. I love how it controls frizz without making my hair greasy, and it adds the perfect healthy shine. I’ve been using it daily and my ends look less dry and more hydrated. ✨ Affordable, effective, and so easy to use just spray and go!

Does smooth out hair well, does not add softness but makes hair manageable. Smells pleasant enough

Scent: Like what many of the other reviews indicated, this has a nice warm coconut smell when you first spritz it onto your hair but I personally don't get much floral notes. After a few hours, I notice a pleasant/light musky scent (maybe this is the sandalwood) with very little coconut in the background. Maybe this product smells differently on others, depending on your skin chemistry. I have no complaints on the smell itself. I usually apply this to damp towel dried hair in the evening and I can still smell the product on myself the next day, so it seems the scent does have some lasting power. Treatment: I didn't notice a huge difference in my hair after using it a few weeks. The mist itself is light and didn't weigh down my hair but I'm questioning if this really does have an impact on my hair health. Misc: It comes in a medium sized glass bottle with a wide plastic cap. Overall, it is a nice product to have but not a must. I find myself using this as more of a hair perfume with hair treatment properties.

I’ve been using this and k18 together for a few months now and noticed a huge improvement in split ends. I use k18 once a week for the weekend everything shower, and the Pantene the other bar wash days during the week. It’s super light weight, never over applied or makes the bar heavy, and has a nice light scent. Spray and let it sit for a few minutes and then comb through. The reviews in not getting all of the product are correct I could get the last little bit from the bottom of the jar. The price is right. I use the Pantene vitamin essence and then a few minute later throw in a heat protectant/leave on conditioner. Works great. My hair is fine and it doesn’t feel greasy.

Love this product though I don't love the price. Makes hair very soft. I used it for between washes to refresh and strength hair as I live in a very dry state. The scent is a little more intense than I'd prefer but it's a nice general salon type scent which is good.

This stuff is horrible. Period. After using it ONE time exactly as the directions say, I knew IMMEDIATELY it was not going to be used long term, if at all. It made my thick, somewhat coarse and wavy hair so gummy, greasy and gross, I wanted to wash it out but didn't have time. I was embarrassed at how greasy my hair looked. I don't get the 4 and 5 star reviews, I really don't. According to the directions, I also think you can really only use this as the directions state if you wash your hair everyday, which I do not and will not do. It states to apply it to clean damp hair before any other leave in----which to me means you need to then wash that leave in out of your hair the next day in order to apply this again. I cannot imagine piling this stuff on my hair daily. I will give it one more try today after shampooing to see if maybe I used too much, but the directions say to apply generously and it's promoted as being light weight. As for the price for what you get and the packaging: ridiculous. This could have been put in a plastic bottle with no extra fancy box packaging and been half the price. And lots of reviews keep mentioning the awesome smell.....where is it? All I smell is the faint smell of what every Pantene Miracle Rescue product smells like. Which I do not like that particular smell, it has an almond smell to me which I hate. There is nothing coconut or tropical about this product. Update: After spending $20 on this, I wanted to at least give it the 14 days of continuous use it says will give you results. So here's my take: I still will not buy it again. I stand by my 1 star review for no other reason than this cannot possibly even come close to giving you soft, healthier looking hair unless you are washing your hair everyday-----which we all know is not only not necessary, but can actually be detrimental to some hair-----it makes my scalp so dry and itchy if I wash daily and my hair does not need it.. With daily use of this plus a very lightweight leave in I have used for years, this leaves my hair so weighed down and greasy. Yes, on wash day I do like the way my hair feels after using this. But for the next 2-3 days until I shampoo again, my hair feels gross. I also continue to hate the way this smells. I again tell you, it does not smell like coconut or anything tropical. If you've used their Miracle Rescue conditioners, that is what this smells like.

Just waste money I don’t see any effect Feeling heavy, oily Coconut smell Overall nothing 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

Well , the marketing Ith the bloggers was done good, other than that the product is not of a good quality, makes hair dry like a straw
