Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light Weightless Hair Conditioning Shake

$6, Pantene

This hair conditioner sounds almost good enough to pour into a tall, icy glass and drink, doesn’t it? Like a diet shake that’s somehow nourishing, not fattening. Maybe not, but it is a lightweight detangling leave-in conditioner that was originally designed for women whose fine hair tends to break when a comb is run through it while wet and also collapses under the weight of, oh, anything heavier than water. As Pantene’s hair scientists will attest: this no-hold spray contains just enough silicone to protect and condition weak strands, while doubling nicely as a barrier against the heat from your blow dryer, curling iron and flat iron. You’ve got to love an innovative product, especially when it smells as fresh as this one does.
