This is one of the best for curly hair! Tresseme and Herbal Essence have to be my favorite brands now for shampoo and conditioners and for styling products for my curly hair! I will be buying this again! It smells great too!

Pantene needs to work on their line for thick hair. First of all, I have curly thick hair. So I bought the gel and the mousse. The gel and the mousse for their Medium-Thick collection claim to have the strongest hold out of all their new lines. Well for being their strongest hold, I figured that I would get nice shiny controlled curls, and I did, but not nearly as shiny as when I use Herbal Essence and I wanted it to help enhance my curls and make them a little tighter, as my hair is getting longer so my curls are loosening, and it didn't give me results anywhere near the Set Me Up gel and mousse do from Herbal Essence. I'm not impressed. If this is their strongest hold, I imagine the one for curly hair is horrible. Herbal Essence gives my hair more shine, and tighter curls. This product didn't make my hair look bad, but I was expecting more. I even used their Frizzy to Smooth shampoo and conditioner, so I thought I would get better results.

Nivea Touch Of Happiness Moisturizing Body Wash Orange Blossom Scent & Bamboo Essence
Okay, I got the Touch Of Happiness(Orange Blossom Scent & Bamboo Essence) one and I love it! This body wash is creamy, moisturizing and smells great! A little goes a long way too, some body washes I just have to keep on squeezing out more as I wash but with this one I only have to once and maybe twice. It definitely moisturizes! I use a body brush all over my entire body in the shower when I wash myself. Body brushes scrub more and exfoliate more in my opinion, I feel cleaner when I use them. But they scrub soo well that I tend to feel very dry and itchy while I'm in the shower because I scrub off all the oils and dirt off my skin, it feels dry and I start to itch in the shower, like really bad. Well this body wash moisturizes way more than any other "moisturizing" or "rich" body wash that I've ever used so far. No matter how hard and thorough I scrub, I never get that dry itchy feeling! I love it! I will definitely be buying this again!

Okay, I have used this moisturizer for years and I love it! I use it in the morning after I cleanse or scrub my face, and it works just fine. It gives my skin a nice shine, but it doesn't make it look oily. See what I'm saying? Because after washing my face my skin is tight and dry and too matte. So then I put this on and my face still looks clean and not oily but it gives it this kind of perfect dewy look, not oily at all though. I'm thinking maybe the people who are using this lotion should try one of Clean & Clear's lotions for acne prone skin or an even lighter lotion, like their oygenated one. I love it though, nice smell, just kinda fresh scent to it. It's nice. If you use too much your face might look shiny, but even then, I've noticed this lotion really absorbs into my skin, and it doesn't look shiny if I let it absorb in.

I love this! I'm hearing that the 5 bladed ones are better, this one has 3 blades and I think it does a fine job! The head of the blade bends swirves wich makes it easy to shave areas like the knee around hip bones, etc... And the gel scented bars smell great and are handy so you don't have to use a shaving cream or gel, because it's attatched to the razor! The spa Breeze scent is great but I feel like the bars can melt away awfully easy, so try and keep them out of the stream of water in the shower. Other than that, I love them!

Almay Hypo-Allergenic Clear Gel
Almay - Hypoallergenic - Clear Gel - Fragrance Free - Anti-Persperant & Deoderant
I didn't buy this because I have sensiive skin or anything, I bought it for the amount of active ingredient in it! Most deoderant only have 20% of that Aluminum Antipersperant active ingredient stuff, well this one has 25%! I am the kind of person who breaks out in a sweat in the freezing cold. I don't know how and why because I won't even be nervous or anything, but I sweat and smell there real easy. Also, being a woman of color, I don't like powder deoderants, and I've tried Secret's gel, and it doesn't come on clear, it will leave like white hard crisp residue. This deoderant is the only one that works for me, I get it in the fragrance free or in the Aloe scent, either one works, and they come on clear!

This shampoo is great and definitely cuts through the dirt in your hair! I love how squeaky clean my hair feels when I'm done rinsing it. I like this shampoo better than the Garnier Fructis Wonder Waves shampoo though because it's not greasy and heavy. You definitely need a good creamy moisturizing conditioner to use after using this though. The Pantene Pro-V Curls Conditioner isn't my favorite though. I'd suggest a Garnier Fructis Hydra Curls or Wonder Waves conditioner. But we all know that after a while of using the same product the product no longer works its magic and your hair loses it's luster. I usually alternate from all Pantene Products to all Garnier Fructis and repeat that pattern monthly. I would definitely buy this product and other products in this line.

I love this and will definitely buy it again! I love the whole line actually. I use the shampoo, conditioner, curl hold hairspray, mousse and scrunching gel. I want to buy their creme as well now. If this shampoo and conditioner works for you I would reccomend you buy the whole line. This isn't too heavy on your curls and after I use the products as directed my hair feels light and my beautiful locked curled tresses bounce just like in a commercial and have high shine!

It's the perfect flexible hold and all you have to do is spray more were you want it to hold more like any other hairspray. I love spraying this on my hair after I get out of the shower and my hair is wet. I spray it on the outer then pick up sections of hair and spray the inbetween and the underside of my hair. I comb it through and then apply the light mouuse they have for curls to my roots and scrunch. Then take some of their hair gel and finger comb that through my ends and go upward but dont apply too much to the roots so they stay light and fluffy. Scrunch all over and then let my hair air dry. It curls perfectly and with high shine! I spray it on my hair when my hair is dry before I go out on humid days and it holds perfectly!

I wouldn't use this product alone. Too light to be used alone but perfect when used with a gel. I use this as directed along with their scrunching gel and it makes my curls look perfect! Angelic actually! my hair dries in perfect shiney curls and they are light, soft and flexible!
