In my previous post where I showed you what I called my mommy face, I told you that I was going to explain the condition of my hair. The thing is, my hair was shedding like crazy after giving birth ten months ago. Even though postpartum hair loss is perfectly normal, I was happy to see the shedding stop! Now I have a lot of baby hair in the front and that’s what you see on the picture. My hair is trying to grow back and it looks ridiculous.

What I’ve been doing is focusing of good hair products, without parabens, that will help my hair during this transition period. Pantene’s recently launched two collections designed for African American women with either relaxed or natural hair: Pro-V Truly Natural and Pro-V Truly Relaxed. I’ve been using the collection for natural hair, since that’s what I have. I’ve never relaxed my hair and my hair is extremely curly.

The Truly Natural collection is meant for women of color with natural hair with a tight curl pattern, making it difficult for the scalp’s natural sebum to moisturize the hair. It can also be prone to tangling and dryness. The Pro-V formula offers deep cleansing without stripping away the natural moisture. Exactly what I was looking for.

Below are the products I received and my thoughts on them. I’ve been using 4 out the 5 products:

Pantene Pro-V Truly Natural Clarifying Shampoo (12.6 Fl Oz)

How it’s described: Pantene Pro-V Truly Natural Clarifying Shampoo is designed to gently cleanse your hair’s unique structure and remove buildup—leaving it shiny, clean, and refreshed.
My thoughts: This thoroughly cleans my hair and scalp, but is still very gently because it doesn’t leave my hair feeling dry. Thumbs up!

Pantene Pro-V Truly Natural Deep Conditioner (12.6 Fl Oz)

How it’s described: Pantene Pro-V Truly Natural Deep Conditioner is an oil-enriched conditioner that moisturizes and detangles natural hair. This conditioner can provide up to 72 hours of moisture, leaving hair so healthy it shines.
My thoughts: This is truly a deep conditioner. Very moisturising and it makes my hair very soft and healthy looking. It smells really good too. Very floral.

Pantene Pro-V Truly Natural Co-Wash Cleansing Conditioner (22.8 Fl Oz)

How it’s described: Pantene Pro-V Truly Natural Co-Wash Cleansing Conditioner instantly cleanses, conditions, and detangles hair in one easy step without stripping the hair’s natural moisture. This low-lathering formula refreshes unmanageable curls and helps control frizz, leaving hair soft and shiny after use.
My thoughts: I love that a big drugstore brand like Pantene makes a co-wash now! This co-wash leaves my hair feeling really soft and works great with the deep conditioner.

Pantene Pro-V Truly Natural Defining Curls Custard (7.6 Fl Oz)

How it’s described: Pantene Pro-V Truly Natural Defining Curls Custard works with your hair’s unique structure to define curls and control frizz up to 24 hours, even in humid weather. This styling custard leaves curls manageable and feeling soft.
My thoughts: I can’t say anything about this product, because I haven’t used it yet. It’s meant for curls and I’ve been wearing my hair straight a couple of months in a row now (I use a flat-iron to straighten it). I’ll probably start using it when I’m back home after going to the pool.

Pantene Pro-V Truly Natural Shine Serum with Argan Oil (1.7 Fl Oz)

How it’s described: Pantene Pro-V Truly Natural Shine Serum with Argan Oil is a daily serum that provides intense moisture and a long-lasting brilliant shine. It leaves your hair soft, smooth, and protected and ready for any natural do.
My thoughts: I love serums and this one is my new love! Not sticky whatsoever, but still nice and shiny.

Overall, I’m really happy with this line! The products are pretty straightforward and do exactly what they claim to do. I also love the fact that I can find these everywhere, I don’t have to order online when I run out. Pantene is very affordable too. The shampoo and conditioner in this collection both retail for just $4.99. In fact, if you buy the entire Truly Natural line (so including the shine serum and custard) will cost you less than $25.
