jlhin's Full Review: Procter & Gamble Pantene Pro V Curl Defining Scrun...
I have slightly unruly, naturally curly hair that tends to be dry and slightly frizzy. In the past I had it chemically straightened, but, a couple of years ago I got tired of the damage it was doing. Since then I have embraced my curls and I am constantly looking for products to help keep them under control. Recently I gave Pantene Pro V Curl Defining Scrunching Gel a try and I was happily surprised with the results!
Cost & Location
I purchased my 6.8 FL OZ tube of Pantene Pro V Gel at Wal-Mart for $3.49. This product can be purchased almost anywhere Pantene products are sold, varying in price.
The Details
Pantene Pro V Curl Defining Gel looks and feels like a typical hair gel - it's clear in color and rather thick and slightly sticky. The scent is much like most of the Pantene products, slightly floral but also fresh and clean. It comes in a flip top tube for easy dispensing.
Pantene claims that their Curl Defining Gel will give you beautiful curls and virtually frizz free waves.
My Experience
Like I said above, the texture of Pantene Curl Defining Gel is rather thick, but not so thick that it isn't easy to distribute evenly through my curls. To use I simply spread it evenly on my hands then scrunch through my curls. I have to use quite a bit since my hair is a good ways past my shoulders and very thick. It spreads nice and even and isn't so sticky that it leaves my hands feeling gross.
The part that impresses me the most about this product is how well it defines and controls my curls. That's quite a feat for a hair gel! Even though I have to use quite a bit, it never leaves my hair sticky or crunchy. I simply have soft, defined curls and little to no frizz. It does a fantastic job controlling frizziness - better than some of the more expensive gels I have tried! Again, it manages to control the frizz without leaving my hair stiff, crunchy or sticky.
Despite the fact that I have to use a lot of this product, it always washes from my hair easily and leaves no product build up.
I love the scent - it's very fresh and clean without being overwhelming. The scent fades slightly throughout the day and doesn't seem to interfere with other hair care product scents.
Overall
I would highly recommend Pantene Pro V Curl Defining Hair Gel. It controls my curls and keeps them virtually frizz free. It doesn't leave my hair feeling sticky or crunchy - just well defined.
