    Did anyone get their bonus 5 points when they completed their review and survey?

    • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

      Yes MerryGoRound I did receive them as well once I completed the Review and Survey.

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        Thanks Margi, I’ll add this to the list of missing points when I email Jess.

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        Yes, received the survey pts. Not the review ones yet as it is pending. Soon though =D

        Strange you didn`t MGR. =/

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        Glad I asked, I’m not having much joy with bonus points of late.

  • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

    My hair is down to my butt. I wish it was thicker. Im a blonde and got the thin hair gene 🙁

  • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

    I guess this shows that one size certainly never fits all. I really loved this product and found it lovely for my very fine hair. It left it super soft and smooth and without the usual tangles.

    • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

      Haha, definitely one size does not fit all Meedee. Maybe it has something to do with the hair thickness. Mine is thick and coarse and never knots, but did after using this. While yours is fine and tangles normally, but did not after using this. I wish now I had mentioned that my hair was thick and coarse in my review. Bummer.

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        I have really long hair but as its so fine there is not a lot of it and I found that i managed to get 3 uses from one tube….awesome for me MerryGoRound

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        Ah, yes, also making it much more affordable too. My just-below-shoulder length hair greedily sucked up a whole tube just for the ends and mid-lengths, and here I was thinking that was actually good coverage.

  • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

    Just got the review done. Read the rest, wow, such a great rating! Even from those who said that was underwhelming gave 4 and 5 stars.

    Anyways…I was first excited…then after using up all 3 tubes in 3 uses….my hair was worse than usual. So could not rate it so high. Not one star, as did not have allergy to the formula (one star is reserved for those), but could not give 3 for average product that is neutral. This one did change how my hair looks, but not on more desirable. Waah

    • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

      Good to know Yoh as I was feeling like the only one who found it not to deliver as promised – thought it was due to my curly chemical processed hair but you have lovely very long straight hair. Not sure I want to use the last tube next wash! My 2 star rating (as I couldn’t give it a 3 star average/adequate rating) has my review pending – guess they’re awaiting a brand response.

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        Hey Kassalee I’m with you and Yohanna, although I did end up giving it 3 stars because it didn’t remove my colour. I honestly don’t think I’ll use the remainder either. It’s really just a conditioner, and not a great one at that.

        I can’t believe testers who said it was underwhelming still gave it 4 or 5 stars, makes a mockery of the ‘at a glance’ star ratings. I assume 4 is good or very good, and 5 is outstanding.

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        Perhaps I should change it, What does everyone think then? would you like me to give it 2 or 3 – because every else`s opinion really totally matters to me.

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        Hi Lisa, I’m not sure you can change rating after submitting, but this is my general rule for stars:

        1* unusable or damaging to use, or had to remove due to reaction

        2* did not deliver on its promise, wouldn’t use again

        3* average, nothing outstanding or unique but does the job, fair value for money, recommend

        4* better than many other products in category, value for money, would definitely use again, definitely recommend

        5* outstanding, better performance than current best in category or as good as category leaders and great value for money, highly recommend you try this instead of just buying your old trusty, it’s a game changer

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        MerryGoRound, thanks for sharing your description of how you choose your star ratings. I especially like your two star description of: “”did not deliver on its promise, wouldn’t use again””. If I chose my star ratings on that description, some of my three star reviews might end up getting two stars. For instance, I`ve used lots of mascaras that promise volume, but they don`t deliver on that promise. I`ve used a huge variety of so-called anti-ageing skin care products with massive claims that don`t seem to do anything for my older skin.

    I’ve flagged vietglobalhair‘s post as spam and I’ve reported it on the “SERIAL SPAM MEMBER ON BH” thread.

  • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

    Submitted my review after 2nd shot used a week later. Result was worse.

    Managed to find Pantene conditioner in the cupboard so used this (can’t believe there was no Pantene shampoo lying around!) along with a Shea moisture shampoo (for curly hair). Let it fully dry naturally and it went fluffy and frizzy! – ends were not dry as they been cut.

    I used my smoothing product to tame it. Slept on it but still almost the same the next day.

    Was going to give it 3 stars but after this dropped it to 2 stars – review not yet published!

    • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

      Thats a real bummer Kassalee .

      I can`t find the survey link?

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        Lol Sparkle I now see you’ve had plenty of help and found the survey link!

        Sorry I saw you’d replied to my comment and replied to you before looking at new comments on the topic!

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        I’m glad I’m not the only one that just gets down to business , lol. Poor Dara saves me all the time on instagram!

        Thanks anyway x

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        It was in the email Your Trial has Begun Sparkle.

        Mine arrived 1/10/19 at 3.08pm from Beautyheaven if that helps you find it.

        Survey link is under the Blue review button.

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        After I left my review the page went straight to the survey.

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        Lisa359 Yes You have to complete the Survey as well otherwise the review won`t be any Good. Hope that you completed that as well.

        Finished completing the Review and the Survey for the Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots myself.

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        I did both yesterday.

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        So glad to hear that Great News.

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        Sparkle 77 The Survey Link and the Review are in the bottom of your Email that you got from Eleni

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        Thanks Margi59! There it was right in front of my face, lol.

  • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

    I use silicone-free products, I did’nt feel like the shots left any build-up in my hair which was nice. I’ll give it one last shot , I’ve got one left to use , probably tomorrow.

    “Hit me with your best shot” – Pat Benatar

  • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

    Ok, so I used a shot last night after shampooing and conditioning. I use a lot of product in my long hair and there was plenty in the tube. I left it in for around 5 minutes before rinsing it out. Combing my hair wet was no easier, it’s usually a nightmare with my fine hair, it gets so knotty. Today my colour damaged, dry ends are much softer, as well as the strip of grey I have in my fringe, which normally feels a bit wiry compared to the rest of my hair. It’s also light and has more volume, but is still frizzy. I normally use oil in my hair, but haven’t applied any today. I don’t like my hair the day after washing it and today is no different, so I’ll see how I feel about it in a couple of days when it is normally less unruly.

    Unfortunately I had to start a new conditioner, one that I haven’t tried before, so it’s hard to draw a conclusion on the shots just yet. I am going to use this product again on Saturday without shampoo/conditioner to see what it is like on its own, and to get at least one more use before writing a review.

    Oh, and I love the scent, reminds me of slightly tangier juicy fruit chewing gum. Yummm!

    ***Being cheeky and editing to add my thoughts on the shots so I can be selfish and keep that 25000 post count for just a little bit longer. (thank you every one for congrats, I will reply to you all in the near future xx)

    In short, I’ve got to admit that I am underwhelmed by this treatment. My hair was a little bit more manageable after using on Saturday without shampoo or conditioner and feels soft and less dry at the ends, but sadly there’s no difference to the look of my hair. I’ll be giving 3 stars because they’re not bad, I’m just not loving them.

    • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

      Wow IndieAna what an achievement Congratulations on having 25000 points. Such a Great BH member.

    • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

      25000!

      Wow Indie, i think that’s totally worth being creative for. Congrats on such an ENORMOUS milestone.

    • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

      Thanks for the cheeky edit explanation Indie as reading your (edited) post I’m thinking “how is she still on 25,000 – has one been deleted?” Lol!Smart girl!

  • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

    I love it and have already purchased another packet (half price at Coles).

    I think the results would vary depending on what you are using with it. I have been using it after using SHEAMOISTURE Manuka Honey and Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Shampoo and Conditioner with it and it works a treat. I can end up with a real fizz ball if I don’t using nourishing products and now I’ve got some extra moisture.

    I did read that it should be used with Pantene Shampoo and Conditioner, which would make sense. Pantene is a fantastic quick fix and I am happy to use it when my hair needs some TLC but I wouldn’t use it long term.

    • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

      I wonder if the results with the Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots Ampoules vary depending on how much build-up someone has in their hair before using the shots. If someone used the shots after a silicone-free shampoo and conditioner, I would expect a different result compared to someone that had been using a shampoo and conditioner with lots of silicones.

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        Petal, I`ve used stripped down basic silicone free duo beforehand. No oils, keratins, silicones, etc. Shots themselves have 2 active ing: one silicone and one silicone mimicking conditioning agent. In a water and preservative base that is perfumed a bit. Nothing miraculous.

        Second shot used. This time after shampoo only. Same results. More frizz though. Easy to brush hair. Dry ends.

        Very pricey stuff for what it contains and result it gives: 40 bucks for 200mL of standard sized hair mask, or 50 dollars for 250mL standard sized basic conditioner (as this is). Shocked a bit. Pantene went a bit too far with the pricing and packaging , putting in the tubes only basic 2 dollar conditioning formula in.

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        Huh, that’s what I’ve experienced too Yohanna … easy to brush, but frizzy wth dry ends. It actually also knots very easily, which for my hair is unheard of. I don’t EVER get knots. Seriously, I normally don’t even pack a hairbrush when I go away for a few days.

      • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

        Petal that sounds very interesting haven`t really considered the type of shampoo and conditioner, that everyone is using but just from general remarks, the Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots seem to condition everyone`s hair and make it very soft and manageable.

  • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

    Tried it for the second time this morning, this time u used a leave in smoothing cream and my hair is less frizzy but that is probably due to the leave in cream and not the Pantene. But my hair has been feeling softer lately and not as dry.

    • 4 yrs, 5 mths ago

      Interesting, yes my hair is definitely frizzy/fluffy after drying naturally (my normal process), will see how it behaves after sleeping on it.
