Pantene Pro-V Truly Natural Review + #Giveaway

I used to go hard using Pantene products back in college when I had a relaxer.  It worked great on my hair and it was the only thing I could afford!  I was excited to take the new Pantene Pro V Truly Natural collection for a spin! The natural collection consist of clarifying shampoo, deep conditioner, co-wash, styling custard and argon oil.

• Truly Natural: African American women with natural hair can have 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.
• Truly Relaxed: African American women with chemically relaxed hair can be left with excessively dry hair. This collection features gentle cleansing with protection against dryness and breakage with oil-enriched Pro-V shampoo and conditioner that moisturizes and protects while still leaving your hair clean and shiny.
• Shampoo and conditioner in both collections is affordably priced at $4.99.
• Additional treatment and styling products are available in each collection.

• I just removed my extensions so I used the clarifying shampoo to make sure my hair would get clean. After shampooing, I used a generous amount of the Pantene deep conditioner.  I let the conditioner sit on my hair with a plastic cap for 15 minutes.
• After taking down my extensions I was not in the mood to twist my whole head using the defining curls styling custard.  I applied the styling custard to my whole head and put my hair in a bun.  I did pull out a small section and did a twist with the styling custard to see how it would turn out. 
• When the twist was dry, I un-twisted the hair using the Pantene shine serum with Argon oil.  

Final review:  I'm very impressed with this collection considering it is less than $5.  The shampoo did not leave my hair feeling extremely dry like most clarifying shampoos.  Considering I just took out my extensions, the conditioner did a pretty good job of making it easier to detangle my hair.  In the future, I would use the shampoo and conditioner for routine washes.  I used a small amount of the co-wash on Peyton's hair last week and loved it.  Can't wait to try it on my hair.  My fave product that I used is the Defining Curls Styling Custard!  I thought it did a great job of defining my curls and left them looking shiny!  The curls were not hard or crunchy.  For under $5, I suggest picking up the co-wash, styling custard and argon oil the first round.
