If someone ask who skipped applying conditioner after shampoo in a room full of people, I would be the first to raise my hand. I am lazy when it comes to hair care #truefact. As lazy as I can get sometimes, I do like to pamper myself from head to toe when I feel like it. It can be a whole week of pampering or maybe alternate days. Otherwise it would be three times a week. So yes, I am slowly getting my hair care routine back on track as my hair is growing longer and longer

If you find yourself nodding to what I said earlier on being lazy or you have a busy lifestyle, 3 minute is all you need to revive your hair. With Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner, I no longer say no to extra hair care after seeing the result. Lo and behold!

I have straight, fine long hair. It should be silky smooth so when I feel that my hair is rough, that means I have damaged hair without realizing it. Hair feels rough when it lost its protective layer. This Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner comes with new formula and improved cationic polymer (BTMAC: Behenyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride). BTMAC is a dual-function molecule that neutralizes negatively charged damaged sites; one end attaches to the hair, while the other forms a protective shield. Pantene is known for its Pro-V Complex. When it works with ‘wet conditioning ingredients’ such as the cationic polymer BTMAC, it is able to attach itself to the hair surface in wet condition, forming a thin film that lubricates the surface. This action will refuce friction between individual hair fibres. As a result, hair is easier to rinse, and tangling between hair fibers are reduced.

This Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner has a sweet berries scent to it. It smells yummylicious but I refrained myself from eating it so don’t worry . The texture and consistency of the conditioner is pretty similar to normal conditioner. I thought it would be thicker but it’s not

You must be wondering what is the difference between this 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner with normal Pantene conditioner. This one right here contain up to 80% more of the key conditioning ingredient. It also contains the highest ever level of new generation advanced Terminal Amino-Silicones (TAS), which means higher deposition of repairing ingredients in areas of physical damage, as well as improved protection through a more uniform deposition of the protective layer on the hair surface. TAS works to flatten and smoothen the cuticle cells on the hair surface, protecting hair against damage and moisture loss from further styling and combing.

When I received this gold tube, I did not know how powerful it is. I just use it like a normal conditioner every night after shampooing my hair. I do know that my hair feels lighter, less greasier the next day, and feels somewhat extra smooth. I did not know how my hair condition looks like as I am not someone who will take a mirror to look at the back of my head LOL. So when I sat down to take a photo of my hair for this review, I was shocked. REALLY SHOCKED. I don’t have a lot of hair and the longer my hair is, the flatter it gets. This is the only time I see my hair this fluffy and looked more airy than usual. Trust me. This for me is considered airy as my usual hair is as flat as a flat bread.

Rinsing off the conditioner was fairly easy. However this is not a silicone-free conditioner so do expect the usual slippery residue on the bathroom floor. To test the efficacy of the new Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner, I skipped a few days of not using it and the hair is back to flat bread condition. No matter how much I brush my hair to make it artificially airy, it is still flat. I just like how my hair is bouncy now when I walk, not forgetting to mention easier to manage and style as well.

Experts at Pantene Hair Research Institute (PHRI) discovered that excessive oxidative minerals build-up in the hair can cause damaging effects on hair health. These oxidative minerals would amplify free radicals production, which can cause fracture, erosion of proteins and weakening hair over time. The most common factors that contributed to dull and lifeless hair is none other that what all of us here in Malaysia are experiencing – heat and humidity. That’s not all. Minerals naturally present in water can also have a detrimental effect on the protein structure of hair aka protein.

I remember my hair stylist once told me that physically I looked like I have beautiful healthy hair but in real fact my hair is actually lifeless, empty on the inside. Let’s see if Pantene’s reformulated Pro-V shampoo and conditioner could help

Pantene’s Keratin Damage Blocker (KDB) Technology are now reformulated into Pantene Pro-V haircare range of shampoo such as Color & Perm Lasting Care, Daily Moisture Repair, Hair Fall Control and Total Damage Care. What KDB Technology do is to target, capture and help to neutralize excessive oxidative minerals present in the hair. Damage Blockers help to prevent the formation by reducing excessive levels of minerals instead of just waiting for free radicals to be produced before attacking them. Pantene is actually the first global brand that are designed to prevent hair protein erosion by minimizing mineral accumulation.

Pro-V Total Damage Care 10 Shampoo & Conditioner

I gotta say, the one thing that I’m addicted to is the scent. The scent lingers on till the next day. It cleans well without the need to use a large amount of shampoo even with my hair length. However as I said to the PR agency, my scalp condition is a combination of sensitive with dry flakes at the same time, oily by mid day, itchy and dandruff. It is so tricky and sensitive that I dare not move away from my current hair care. Just as I expected, my scalp went haywire after the first use. But it was all good again after I stop using and alternate between my sensitive hair care range with dandruff range. Eventhough so, I still use Pro-V Total Damage Care thrice a week because I do like the scent of it. The trick to that is to alternate the usage, not continuous use. As my scalp could get oily very fast, I try to cut the amount of shampoo I use but my hair is still a bit limp on oily scalp the next day.

With the continuous use of Pro-V range, mineral-induced oxidative stress declines and hair’s proteins will be better preserved. Over time, hair condition will improve. It’s a pity I can’t use this everyday but what I do notice is that I’m consistent with the numbers of time I use in a week that my scalp and hair now accepts the range better now. My hair condition has improved gradually too. It is not as liveless as before *giggles*
