Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light Trial Team

If you’ve ever been concerned about using Pantene because you’ve heard that it weighs down your hair, then you’ll want to hear about the brand’s latest development.
According to a national Galaxy survey commissioned by Pantene, one in five Australian women, with as many as one in three ‘Gen-Y’ women, believed the myth that Pantene weighs hair down and is bad for hair health*.
The survey also revealed that 73 per cent of Australian women planned their life around washing their hair so that they could have that ‘just washed’ fresh feeling. (You know, that feeling you get when you’ve just had your hair done and can swish it from side to side like you’re in a hair commercial? I know you know what I’m talking about beauties!).
So what did Pantene do with the information gained? They created Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light Shampoo and Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light Conditioner of course! Formulated with breakthrough ‘clean-rinse technology’, which is made up of a combination of highly water-soluble liquid conditioning ingredients that easily break down upon rinsing, the products leave zero unwanted residue on your strands. Your hair will also receive the nutrients and hydration it needs to look healthy and vibrant, while still feeling smooth and weightless - allowing you to swish your hair to your heart’s content!
But don’t just take our word for it – watch our Trial Team’s video reviews above (check them out as they do the Aqua Light swish!), and read their reviews below to find out what they thought of Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light Shampoo and Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light Conditioner…

Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light Shampoo
"I stopped using Pantene as it seemed to be way too heavy for my hair and would always leave it feeling pretty dirty after a double shampoo and conditioner on the ends. The light shampoo is perfect for me! My hair felt like it had a salon wash after I used it and all day felt silky smooth and really healthy.
The new packaging is really sleek. I love the clear bottle so you can tell the difference between it and the conditioner and it smells fab.
I could really feel the clean after one wash. Normally my first wash removes the dirt and the second wash gets a proper clean but after my first wash, it felt fab. I think I just did the second out of habit haha. I definitely felt confident with the clean it gave me and could even wear my hair down on the second day with no dry shampoo - a first for me." - Skinnystudd

Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light Conditioner
"Ok as I said with the shampoo, smells lovely, nice modern look without being so different you don't know it's Pantene, but the real amazing thing about this is it really does leave your hair completely light. I received this and the shampoo as part of the trial team and I am so converted! My hair is super short as I'm growing out a pixie cut so I didn't really have much room to just put it on the ends, so I just used it like I would my normal conditioner. I left it on while I did other shower stuff lol and from the second I started rinsing it off I was blown away, my hair felt crazy soft even when wet, I thought I was imagining it but when I started drying it off with the towel it was still so soft and light. There is no way there is residue on my hair and it's shiny and healthy looking too!! I'm wrapped, it smells great and does exactly as it promises. much love to Pantene for this product!!" - Kahlia

I wil give it ago I feel most reputable brands deserve a go as they put time and money plus are connected to companys that give them the backing, the end results can be quite surprising.

Loved the shampoo, still undecided about the conditioner. I need to try it again after I get a hair cut. Which reminds me, I need a hair cut...

I haven't used pantene in years, but these reviews are really positive. I may have to give pantene another try

I stopped using Pantene because my hair always felt limp and heavy after using it. But with this new range and the reviews I may have to give Pantene another try.

Sounds really interesting! Glad the TT liked it but I'd like to give samples a go before I got the full sized product.

I'd never heard of Pantene weighing down my hair. But then I don't really mind if my hair is weighed down as I'm always trying to find products to control it.

Well that is interesting.
Hairdressers use to 'bag' the product especially when trying to colour hair but now...looks good

These Aqua Light products are great for the price!
Loved to see the other beauties loving this product too! (Our good camera 'died' so my video was done on my 11 year old's camera, hence the not-so-great quality. Sorry Bh & Bh'rs about that. I'm going to have to get onto buying a new good camera. I think hubby has one picked out so hopefully any future videos will be nice and clear again like my original videos.)

I've always been concerned about Pantene as my hairdresser said it can stop colour sticking :( Might have to give this stuff a go though! :)

I love Pantene, but this shampoo and conditioner offer something a little different, it doesn't way the hair down it gives it lift and a lightness which is really amazing. I would highly recommend it..I use it and love it.

Very pleased to see Pantene have listened to people and have come up this the Pro-V Aqua Light range. Interesting reviews. Would love to try the new Pantene as I am one of these people that have become disillusioned with Pantene. Like the sleek look of the bottles.
