I am a longtime Pantene user with long, mostly straight, thick hair (it just has a little bit of a wave underneath it, if I don't blow dry). Typically, I like shampoos and conditioners that make my hair sleek and manageable (like Pantene's former "Texturize" line, which made my hair look AMAZING). I found Pantene's claims that their Moisture Balance shampoo and conditioner make your hair touchably soft to be true. And my hair smells good when I use the products. However, these products also make my hair kind of limp and unmanageable. To be fair, this just might not be the right formula for my hair, but I would not purchase this type of Pantene again. (My fiancé tried it, too, and felt the same way. He even said his hair felt "stripped.") As a consumer, making environmentally conscious choices is very important to me, as is trying to introduce more and more products with natural ingredients into my health and beauty regimen. Overall, I'm really happy to see Pantene moving toward a more "green" image. I do wonder why they don't make all their bottles out of this plant-based material, though. (I could be wrong, but it seems like this is only for the Nature Fusion.) Now if they would only stop testing on animals....!!

The shampoo smells and acts much like the normal Pantene. I like that the company is trying to be more eco-friendly by using bottles made from renewable materials, but the product still contains most of the same non-natural ingredients. That being said, my hair is nicely cleaned and smells fresh. The shampoo lathers up a lot and you only need to use a small amount to get your hair clean. It rinses out quickly and doesn't overdry my hair.

I like the idea of the eco friendly packaging but I was hoping the product itself would be a bit more natural. However it had a pleasant scent. My hair is fine and tangles easily, I normally prefer a shampoo that can help me work out the tangles. This product did an OK job but not quite enough for me to say I really liked it.

I love the smell of the shampoo. I didn't notice anything different about my hair, after using it, though. I do like that they are trying to be more environmentally friendly but I have seen some packages that are 90+% recyclable, as compared to the 59% of this bottle. I would have liked to see in increase in natural ingredients as well.

Cleaned well, smelled alright, but if you color your hair you will want to try something made for colored hair, this one takes the color right out!

I liked this Pantene better than their other products & always love the scent but besides the plant derived bottle I don't see what is so "natural" about this. It does the job cleans my hair enough making it soft and manageable. I'm always hesitant about using Pantene products routinely. When I did in the past my hairdresser guessed I was using Pantene & scolded me so I guess there is something bad about it (sorry don't remember what). I like this but wish it was more natural because looking at the ingredients I can't tell.

I love that the bottle is plant based. How green of them. The scent is very light, if not there at all. I think this would be a great fit for my mother who hates things with a lot of fragrance. Unfortunately I have to agree with the reviews that the combo made my hair greasy. The conditioner either worked two well or the shampoo didn't clean my hair out. I tried shampooing twice to one conditioning. That seemed to help, but seems wasteful. I will have to say that my hair is still soft and it didn't damage it. Not bad for the price (looked it up), not a number one go to shampoo for me but a great consideration.

I am a busy mom of twins and don't have a lot of time to wash my hair so I only get to twice a week. I am also very focused on the environment and buy natural products as much as I can. I have only used the shampoo a few times so far and it smells great! However, the actual shampoo doesn't appear to be sulfate free and sustantainable unless I missed something. It left my hair really clean and soft. I have experienced build up with Pantene products in the past and it does not appear that this will have that problem.

I was very excited to try this, however, my hair was very unhappy when I did use it. I have red color-treated hair with purple streaks for some fun. This shampoo (I'm guessing due to the use of sulfates) helped my color to fade really quick and I found myself scheduling an appointment with my hair stylist who will scold me for using a non-natural shampoo/conditioner. My husband loves this product though so he can keep it. I cannot afford $75 every month because of this shampoo. I gave this 3 stars because if I were the only 1 using it, it would earn 1 star, but my hubby loves it so his opinion counts for 2 additional stars.

I didn't notice a big difference with the shampoo. It was just shampoo to me. The conditioner did leave my hair soft, but flat. I have natural curls so I was hoping the moisture would help the curls be bouncy. No such luck. My daughter has straight hair and she seemed to like them both.

I've been happy with the product I received so far. I've been using it steadily and don't have a complaint really. On the other hand, it's deceptive packaging because it's not really a natural product and the labeling makes you think it is. Yes, it clearly says the packaging is green but I have to remind myself that's about it. If it were truly a natural product I would be happier. That said I didn't notice anything great about it either. So, not bad not great. Love that the scent wasn't strong, so that's a plus.

I really wish I liked this, but unfortunately, I found that my hair was more tangled than normal and gunk got stuck in my hair more than my normal shampoo. I do believe this is the best Pantene shampoo I have used before, but it still did not clean my hair very well. I think that overall, the smell was alright. I do not think that it was moisturizing either.

I have been using the Pantene Shampoo a couple of times per week. I think that it does not moisturize my hair enough since it feels very dry once my hair is no longer wet. I need a shampoo that will strengthen my hair along with moisturizing it. I am wearing my hair natural without any chemicals in it. My hair is short as well. It does not take me long to wash my hair. I like the fact that the bottle is plant based and 100% recyclable. It will make it easier when disposing of the bottle. I would not be able to use this on a regular basis since it does not provide what my hair needs.

Smells clean. I liked that this pantene line uses some natural ingredients. With some other shampoos in the past I have felt some immediate changes after using a product. Like softer hair or less breakage. This product just didn't wow me like that. It got the job done but didn't do anything other than that. Price is cheap. Good shampoo for someone on a budget.

I was really glad that I had the opportunity to try this version of Pantene, because I was quite curious about it. I am really impressed with the eco-friendly bottle and the use of sugarcane that is harvested on abandoned pastureland, which in turn didn't result in deforestation. The fact that the bottles are also 100% recyclable is another plus. As far as the results that I received when using it on my hair, I had mixed feelings. The scent is just lovely. I wouldn't change a thing about that. I preferred the conditioner over the shampoo, because the shampoo dried my hair out. The use of the conditioner helped a little, but it didn't quite leave my hair with the healthy feeling that I wanted. My hair felt dried out and was a bit on the dull side after using the products. There is one last thing, while the use of naturally-derived ingredients in the packaging are evident, I really wish the same held true for the actually shampoo ad conditioner. I do not find the ingredients in their shampoos and conditioners to be extremely natural. This is the case for many commercial hair care products. Having said that, I would really love it if Pantene came out with hair care products that are all natural without any artificial ingredients or harsh chemicals.
