Pantene Pro-Vitamin Essence, Daily Repair Mist, Weightless Leave-On Treatment Strengthens & Rebuilds Damaged Hair, Reduces Breakage, 2.5 Fl Oz

I purchased this as part of a complete haircare overhaul after discovering Abby Yung and her haircare method. I have fine/thin hair, so I’m always hesitant to use leave-in treatments because I don’t want to sacrifice volume or end up with hair that feels coated or weighed down. This caught my attention because it’s designed to be a lightweight, leave-in repair treatment, and it was also recommended within the fine/thin hair routines I was researching. I’ve been trying to be more intentional about preventing and addressing damage while keeping my routine manageable, so this seemed like a good addition. The mist makes it really easy to distribute through my hair without accidentally applying too much product in one spot. I like that I can use it as a quick step after washing without having to add another treatment to my shower routine. It leaves my hair feeling softer, smoother, and more manageable without that heavy, coated feeling that some repair products can create. I’m especially interested in the strengthening and damage-repair benefits as I continue using it consistently. One thing that genuinely surprised me, although it obviously has nothing to do with the product’s effectiveness, is the packaging. The bottle feels much more high-end than what I typically expect from a Pantene product. It has a really polished, almost luxury-haircare feel. The scent adds to that experience too. It smells much more like a salon-quality hair product than a typical drugstore leave-in. Overall, I’m really enjoying having this in my new routine. It gives me a way to incorporate some repair and strengthening care without making my fine hair feel weighed down, and the lightweight formula makes it easy to use consistently. If you have fine or thin hair and tend to avoid leave-in treatments because you’re worried they’ll leave your hair heavy or greasy, this is definitely one I’d consider trying.

OBSESSED. I'm on my 3rd bottle and I love the way it leaves my hair so moisturized, shiny, and not greasy, with an amazing smell. Noticeable difference when I dont use it. Wish it was more affordable for the size of the bottle, but it's worth the investment for how soft my hair is and long-lasting smell.

i’m obsessed with this stuff. just what i was looking for - it makes my hair feel smooth and strong instantly! some days my hair feels so brittle and thin (age maybe ? thanks 30’s) that i feel like i can’t even brush it without causing breakage. pantene to the rescue! i use this on dry hair btw and it works wonderfully. it also smells really great and i prob wouldn’t use it if it didn’t , scent is a huge deal to me - Im impressed w pantene. i haven't used them in like 15 years - thank you to Abbey Young for the suggestion ❤️

It’s a good product to help tame my frizzy hair. It gives it a nice shine and softness. It’s easy to use but you need to be careful to not over spray it. I didn’t find it to smell as nice as I’ve seen in the ads but it smell ok.

Scent: Like what many of the other reviews indicated, this has a nice warm coconut smell when you first spritz it onto your hair but I personally don't get much floral notes. After a few hours, I notice a pleasant/light musky scent (maybe this is the sandalwood) with very little coconut in the background. Maybe this product smells differently on others, depending on your skin chemistry. I have no complaints on the smell itself. I usually apply this to damp towel dried hair in the evening and I can still smell the product on myself the next day, so it seems the scent does have some lasting power. Treatment: I didn't notice a huge difference in my hair after using it a few weeks. The mist itself is light and didn't weigh down my hair but I'm questioning if this really does have an impact on my hair health. Misc: It comes in a medium sized glass bottle with a wide plastic cap. Overall, it is a nice product to have but not a must. I find myself using this as more of a hair perfume with hair treatment properties.

I love this! It’s very light, and I use it a few times a week, but the instructions say it can get used daily. It does not make my hair feel greasy and I don’t have to avoid my roots during application. There is no unpleasant smell, and it sprays on really easily. My hair looks so shiny and smooth. It’s definitely a great option and less expensive than some of the other hair repair products. My hair is very fine and thin, and this does not weigh it down. I’m using as part of a rotation to bring my hair back to life

I purchased this treatment because I noticed my hair has started to thin lately (peri-menopause has not been kind to me), and my hair is down to my waist, but I haven't gotten around to cutting it yet, mostly because the length gives my ponytail some volume. In the interest of full disclosure, I am also using a product with minoxidil, but I bought this to prevent more breakage since I have to put my hair up for work, and every means of keeping it out of my eyes requires at least a little tension. Don't get me wrong, it smells GORGEOUS. I would wear it as a perfume. But I don't NEED a perfume; I have perfumes. I need a hair treatment to prevent more damage to my already thinning hair that has been as fine as a baby's hair all of my life (but it used to actually have more volume). I'm really upset about the lack of results, because I'm doing everything I can to fix my hair (minoxidil with biotin and castor oil, and rosemary, ketoconazole shampoo, oral vitamin supplements - not to mention hormone replacement). I took a risk buying this considering how much I already spend on my hair, and I got no results. Plus, there's really no suggested dosage or amount or instructions on when to put it on - wet or dry - so I've tried every way (warning: do NOT put it on wet hair before you blow dry, because it will become a tangled, frizzy MESS that will be completely unmanageable). For the price, I could have tried a popular bonding oil that starts with an "O", but I gambled on this and it was a bust. I stopped using Pantene products years ago when my sister (a cosmetologist) told me that the plastics they were using caused buildup that suffocated your hair and caused breakage. I think I'm now going to avoid Pantene products because they just don't even work. Save your money and buy something better...unless you want hair perfume, then by all means.

I can’t say for sure how much internal repair this product does. However, I am now on my third consecutive bottle, I use this right after my scalp serum before any other products. I feel that there is a noticeable difference in the shine, smoothness, and movement when I use it compared to when I have tried without. Makes a big difference and I notice it now that I have been using a while. Also, very weightless.

My hair is fuller, softer, and shinier since my first purchase\. I’m really impressed with the results and will definitely buy again\. Highly recommended\!

Just waste money I don’t see any effect Feeling heavy, oily Coconut smell Overall nothing 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

Well , the marketing Ith the bloggers was done good, other than that the product is not of a good quality, makes hair dry like a straw
