A Review: Pantene Nature Fusion Moisture Balance Conditioner

For touchable softness and strength.*

The purity of natural and power of science are brought together in Nature Fusion - a unique line from Pantene® Pro-V®. Pantene science combines Pro-V technology with naturally derived ingredients such as Cassia, to keep your hair naturally radiant and strengthened against damage.

Ingredients: Water, Stearyl Alcohol (Palm Oil, Palm Kernel Oil or Coconut Oil), Cyclopentasiloxane, Cetearyl Alcohol (Palm Oil, Palm Kernel Oil or Coconut Oil), Behenamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Cassia Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride (Cassia Tora Seeds), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Zingiber Officinale Root Extract (Ginger), Panthenol, Panthenyl Ethyl Ether, Citric Acid (Corn Starch or Sugar Cane), Dimethicone, Glutamic Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Fragrance, EDTA, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Yellow 5, Orange 4

Packaging and Scent: I love the "lightness" of this product's look. It says "fresh" and "modern" without looking overly floral or hokey. I like the white and green bottle and the digitized image of the leaves. I dunno, just looks pretty. The scent is a typical pantene-ish smell. It is fresh and bright, not at all heavy or stinky in any way. I like it. After using it, it lingered on my hair for a day or two and every time I turned my head I got a whiff...but in a good way. My boyfriend even commented on how much he liked the way my hair smelled.

I will start by saying have always loved Pantene. It as one of the first products I discovered when I went natural 10 years ago. The conditioners have always provided me with enough slip to detangle my kinks and coils. And you know how important that is, especially to a new natural who is learning how to work with her texture. I used to use the Sleek and Smooth line in the white and dark green bottle and I loved it too.

The last time I used this product was after the disaster that was Dr. Miracle's. My hair was impossible to get through and I knew I needed something with slip. I used at least 2 large handfuls of the Pantene and smooshed it through my hair. I worked it in with my hands and then proceeded to detangle in sections. It literally took me about 10 minutes (not bad!) and I was ready to proceed to the next step in my styling process.

Overall, I really like this product and will probably use it again. It can stay in the rotation along with my Herbal Essences and Aussie 3 min Miracle. They all do about the same thing for my hair so whichever is on sale at the time is what I'll go with. Hope this helps!
