    Survey done! I would have answered many of the questions differently if they’d asked about the shampoo & conditioner separately.

  • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

    Survey is only short like normal so it doesn’t take long. I actually like this shampoo and conditioner for a quick fix . My hair feels better but I won’t be using it long term so it doesn’t build up then it won’t be a problem when I colour.

    Just submitted the survey this morning 🙂 have kept checking my emails past few days..

  • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

    My conditioner review has been published, but my negative review of the shampoo still hasn’t been published – it’s safe to assume there’s going to be a brand response for that one.

    I’m going to be so busy for this week: I’ll have to keep checking my email & this thread for when the survey link is up & when it’s due.

    • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

      M8 I had one for head & shoulders and it took 3 weeks to be published.

      • 7 yrs ago

        I had a review once that I waited a similar time for it to be published, but in the end it didn`t have a brand response, so I was surprised. Bh might have contacted the brand, who deciding against making a response. Who knows?

    • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

      I received my survey link this morning and we only have till 9am tomorrow.

  • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

    Submitted my reviews…just waiting for survey 🙂

  • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

    Would love that this brand make one line fragrance free, as an option for people with allergies to strong perfumes in haircare. Shame I can not try it also. Love how it gives good results to you all, silky hair, yes please =D

    • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

      I think that`s the main thing I love about it, the smell lol

      • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

        Ditto Kristy! It smells LUSH! But I get the point about the scent being very strong. I can`t use anything that smells like rose or jasmine, so I get the hassle some people have with scents.

      • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

        Oh yep totally get it too! 🙂

  • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

    Has anyone received the link for the survey yet? In her email on Friday, Tina said if the link for the survey wasn’t available by 5pm that day, we’d get a new due date for the survey. In the 2 emails since then, no mention has been made of the survey, or have I missed it?

    I don’t want to get on the trial blacklist!

    • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

      No survey link yet! I emailed Tina a couple of hours ago because I didn`t get review links OR survey links. She said the brand were still going over the questions but we`ll be emailed with the survey link when it`s available. Don`t worry, we`ll be given a bit longer to complete the survey since it`s late.

      Have up uploaded your reviews yet lina?

      • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

        Yep.

        Re your experience with increased shedding with this shampoo – I had similar problems years ago with another Pantene shampoo, and so swore off them. Interestingly enough, I have found with this new shampoo, my shedding has decreased. I did not expect this, I thought Pantene hated my hair, so maybe it was some specific ingredient.

      • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

        I`ve used Pantene in the past too, many years ago, but I didn`t notice any shedding then. You`ve decreased? Well good onya! It sounds like one of the ingredients, but I wouldn`t know which one. I typed out the ingredients lists in my reviews, but most of the words meant nothing to me.

      • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

        Was thinking…shedding with this particular range now can be also coincidence? I used Joico range few years back. My hair started to shed like mad! Then used another brand (for babies, and same continued!). Then I used Joico just recently, and no shedding (just couple of hairs as usual). At that time in past I experienced some hormonal changes (which could`ve caused my hair to shed so much), now I am all super healthy , and can use any haircare that is not perfumed with strong synthetic fragrances (those only cause me nausea and even coughing/wheezing). Who knows….just take care if continues, and see if it really can be some allergic reaction on this particular product(s)

  • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

    I agree. Love the conditioner won’t use shampoo again.
    I rated shAmpoo lower than conditioner.

  • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

    My hair shedding continued, so I only gave the shampoo two stars. The conditioner was pretty good, but not as good as my two faves: Schwarzkopf Extra Care & L’Oréal Elvive. It’s still a better than average conditioner, so I gave it four stars. There’s no way I’ll be using that shampoo again! I’ll use the conditioner up with my regular shampoo,.

    From the reviews published so far, it looks like I’ve rated the shampoo lower than everybody else, but about the same for the conditioner. I might see if I can fob the shampoo off to one of my sisters or nieces.

    • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

      Mine definitely still shedding too I`m just doing reviews now. I wasn`t sure if it was the shampoo or conditioner causing this though.

      • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

        I thought perhaps I was entering a normal high shedding cycle, so I used my regular shampoo with the Pantene conditioner & I only shed my normal amount. When I shampooed my hair next, I used the Pantene shampoo & shed like crazy again. There`s no doubt that I`m shedding more than usual as a direct result of using the Pantene shampoo! I won`t be using this shampoo again!

      • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

        M8 my hair falls out by the bucket full this time of year so I always chop off to shoulder length. Have you had your thyroid checked?

      • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

        Bingo Sparkle! I do have thyroid disease & I`m under care & on thyroxine BUT my hair shedding DEcreased when I went back to my usual shampoo, then INcreased the next time I shampooed with the Pantene. That`s too specific to blame on my thyroid.

      • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

        Thanks I`m ditching the shampoo for sure too.

  • 7 yrs, 1 mth ago

    I’m on this trial. Really enjoying this shampoo & conditioner. The conditioner is really good. I’ve been impressed so far.
