Love it
The Pantene Expert Intense Hydration Shampoo is great. It lathers up well, has a pleasant scent, and rinses out easily. Combined with the matching conditioner it left my hair feeling soft and less dry and brittle as others tend to do. Will definitely repurchase .

Great hydrating shampoo
I used this product on my curly frizzy hair and found it really hydrated my hair without weighing it down. This product works really well on my dry frizzy hair. I really liked it.

Pantene Expert Pro-V may be for you or it may not
I wash my hair about every other day, so I used the Pantene Expert Pro-V Intense Hydration Shampoo 9.6 oz and Conditioner 8 oz Dual Pack about every other day since receiving it in the mail. I was excited about the product because the week prior I had cut and colored my hair. I did not see a HUGE difference in using the Pantene Expert Pro-V Intense Hydration Shampoo. The smell is pleasant. I am a bargain shopper, and will probably continue to use the store brand shampoo and conditioner.

Soft and Manageable
I really enjoyed using this shampoo. It made my hair feel clean and fresh. Using it with the conditioner made it soft and manageable. I think any woman would like to use this if she wants beautiful manageable hair.

Wonderful Smell!
This product is great for moisturizing your hair,hence the name! It lathered up extremely, and the scent was so, so good. My hair even held the scent after it was dry and it never does that! My hair did seem to have a little more body the next day, but by the next morning,my scalp was looking very oily. But my hair was so shiny! I do have an oily scalp, so this may not be the best formula for week day use for me, but I would definitely use this product for special occasions when I want shine, bounce and a great smell for a day. I would recommend this product for anyone with a dry scalp and/or hair for normal use as I believe it would be great for both.

Very moisturizing.
Smells great and moisturizing without leaving my curly hair flat. Helped control my frizz. A little pricey though.

Absolutely love this shampoo, it is now my fav.
This shampoo created a thick rich lather, you can almost feel the moisture as you wash your hair. It tamed all of my flyaways and frizziness and left my hair completely moisturized, shiny, and healthy looking.

End result of softness okay but not that impressed
This shampoo does not go very far. You need a ton of it to build up a lather and the smell is not the best. However, it did make my wavy hair soft and manageable with the combined conditioner.... a team effort. You do have to use so much of it though that its not very cost effective considering the bottle's size.

Great shampoo!
I used the product for my daily shower. I loved the hydrating and moisturizing effect it had on my hair with each use. Also, smells fantastic. This would be a great product for every woman regardless of hair type and texture.

Pantene Expert Pro-V Intense Hydration Shampoo
I liked the packaging it came in however the lid was a little tough to press open the first couple of times. The shampoo itself had a pearly look to it and smelled of coconuts which I found enjoyable but I didn't feel it was thick enough. It also would have been nice to have a little more lather from it. I did feel like it gave my hair a good clean feeling. It felt softer and looked shinier. It did not leave a build up feeling in my hair. My hair smelled really good after as well. Overall I would recommend.

Great new shampoo!
I have been using Pantene for like 16 years now so I'm clearly a satisfied customer and have not been disappointed with their new products. This one is has not disappointed! The scent is amazing and makes my hair smell amazing and lasts. My hair feels so soft and healthy after using! I will be sticking with this one for awhile now!

Did not feel the hydration.
Pantene Expert Intense Hydration Shampoo cleaned my hair well.I do not see a difference in my hair feeling hydrated. It does not feel smooth nor silky. It left my hair with fly aways and poofy.I notice that it also stripped my hair color. I just had colored my hair 4 days ago, this was my second wash. It uncovered the gray roots I had previously colored. Not completely, but you can see how the color was stripped to a lighter shade.The shampoo cap was hard to press to open. It may be hard to pop open for some people.It has a vanilla scent. It feels creamy and easily lathers.It may work for healthy hair, but it may not be suited for hair like mine that is colored.

It's just shampoo
This shampoo definitely has some lather. It feels great when I wash my hair. It almost makes it feel like have super thick hair. (I actually have fine hair). It rinses quick and doesn't leave you with hair that feels like wet doll hair. The smell isn't overwhelming, which is really nice. However, I didn't notice this shampoo being anything more than just a shampoo. I've used other brands and had the same results. I like the lather and minimal smell, but I didn't notice anything else that would make me want to buy it again.

a nice shampoo to hydrate and clean regularly
I used this for 6 out of 7 days in the week. It definitely left my hair feeling clean - and when used with the conditioner every other day - was a nice way to compliment and condition/hydrate without adding too much product to weigh down my fine hair. I think this product is good for regular use without creating too much residue build up that other products create.

Gentle and conditioning
My daughter's hair is curly and long and this was a great match for her hair. Used it with the conditioner and it conditioned without weighing it down, Nice fragrance with out being overwhelming.

Moisturizing Soft Hair
I smelled my girlfriend's hair because there was a slight sweet fragrance that came from the Pantene Expert Intense Hydration shampoo and conditioner. Her hair smelled so great and it was so shiny too. My girlfriend felt that the Pantene Expert Intense Hydration shampoo and conditioner were gentle on her hair, not stripping it down or weighing it down with product, but keeping the moisture inside the hair follicles.

Hair felt silky
The shampoo cleaned very well and had a silky feel. It had great hydration quality.

Shampoo matters too
I've been struggling with dry hair and dry scalp recently. I was using another moisturizing conditioner and it was helping some but not much. But then I started using this shampoo, along with the same type of conditioner and noticed results after only two uses. I think that Intense Hydration Shampoo helped my dry scalp and made my hair shiny and healthy again.

Salon quality shampoo
I really liked this Pantene Expert shampoo. The scent is great and makes me think of a tropics and coconuts. It looks and works like more expensive salon shampoos and left my hair feeling great. Even though my roots are usually oily, I didn't find that this product made my hair worse because of the added moisture. It also didn't weigh my hair down as I expected. The bottle size is quite a bit smaller than other shampoos so the value isn't as great for the price, but I will probably buy again if I had a coupon.

Great shampoo. Delivers on the smooth!
I have blonde hair that is prone to breaking, flyaways and frizz. From the first time I poured out this shampoo there was a difference in the consistency of the shampoo. I have no idea how they do it but it adds weight to my hair that keeps it from being all frizz but my hair is still light and fluffy! I am willing to recommend this to anyone I think it's that good! The only drawback would be smaller bottle for more money. It may actually be worth it on this one!

Soft & Manageable Hair!
GF and I like the Pantene Expert Intense Hydration Shampoo because it makes hair softer and does not dry out our scalp/hair. Pantene Expert Intense Hydration Shampoo seems thicker than some of the other Pantene products that we've both used, but there's no noticeable difference in how it lathers, washes out, or cleans. It's the same great Pantene formulation but with a burst of additional moisture. Hair will not be stripped dry and feels quite nice afterwards.

Pantene Expert Hydration Shampoo is Superb
I used the Pantene Hydration shampoo as soon as I got home from the store. I have really dry frizzy hair and this shampoo works fantastic. I love the smell too.

Great shampoo!
I like the design of the bottle, and the shampoo smells really good. The texture of the shampoo is unlike other shampoo, it is more liquid than I am used to. A little goes a long way.

Great product to use.
Will definitely purchase again. Great product for our family. Everyone likes to use it here.

Softness + Manageability
Pantene Expert Hydration Shampoo is a very thick and creamy formula that has a long lasting but not overpowering scent which I loved. This shampoo made tons of lather so you don't need a lot. My hair felt soft and tangle free after rinsing and looks really soft and healthy after styling. I appreciate that the shampoo and conditioner comes in distinctively different shaped bottles, as someone who needs reading glasses I can tell at a glance which product is the one I want.

A little goes a long way! Super rich lather :)
This shampoo feels super rich. Just a slight squeeze of the bottle is all you need. I have long, past my shoulders hair that is very fine and thin, and dry towards the ends. My hair felt very smooth while rinsing out the shampoo. I used it without conditioner and my hair felt silky and had great shine. The tall, skinny bottle takes up less room in the shower which is a plus :)

great hydrating shampoo
I really like the new Pantene Expert hydrating shampoo. I used it with the corresponding conditioner. The shampoo lathered well and seemed to leave my hair soft. My hair did not feel dry and tangle-y when I rinsed. A great budget shampoo for my thick coarse hair.

Lathers Well
This shampoo has a light pleasant scent. It leaves your hair soft and lathers up very well.

Creamy rich shampoo to hydrate my hair
This washed well without using too much shampoo. It lathered up well and made my hair feel clean without drying my scalp out. For the cost and how little I used it's a great buy! I will probably change to this shampoo as a result of trying it out.

Pantene Shampoo
I really like how soft and healthy my hair felt after using this product. I have been a fan of Pantene products for many years and this one did not disappoint. It has a slightly tropical scent that is not overpowering. I would buy this product again and I would also like to try the matching conditioner.

This shampoo was nothing special, unfortunately, and as someone with wrist pain, the bottle was difficult for me to open.

Very Effective
I used this shampoo with the Pantene Expert Intense Hydration Conditioner. I liked both. My hair was soft and nourished and very manageable. I styled with and without hairdryer and liked the results with both. I would buy the Pantene Expert Intense Hydration Shampoo again.

High quality hydrating shampoo!
Pantene Expert Intense Hydration Shampoo is a fabulous product. It leaves your hair feeling moisturized and luxurious. The smell isn't overly memorable but very pleasant while showering. After using the product, I feel like my hair has been pampered. I look forward to adding this shampoo to my normal rotation of hair products. It was also great on my children's hair, so a win for the whole family!

Very Moisturizing
I found the Pantene Expert Intense Hydration Shampoo was very moisturizing. I like using complete systems so I did use it with the Pantene Expert Intense Hydration Conditioner. My hair was very soft and easy to manage after just one cleansing.

Drying, Not Hydrating
I was disappointed that I didn't like this shampoo. Instead of being hydrating/moisturizing, it almost made my hair feel drier! It also doesn't have a very pleasant fragrance. I also bought the corresponding conditioner and didn't really like it, either, to my chagrin. Wouldn't buy this again.

Made my hair feel amazing
The conditioner and shampoo together made my hair feel amazing! It was so soft and hydrated afterward. My only complaint is that it smelled like my vitamins. I would like a nicer scent.

Great value
The bottle for this is black and sleek looking. Easy to grab and dispense. The price aligns with a lot of other shampoo prices but the quality is top notch. There isn't any super scent smell to it but it makes your hair very soft and easily manageable. I plan to use this as my daily shampoo now!

Makes dry hair really feel soft and hydrated
This Pantene Pro-V Intense Hydration Shampoo together with the conditioner is my new favorite. The shampoo and conditioner really make my hair feeling fresh, clean and hydrated without weighing it down. This shampoo really hydrates my dry hair. Especially in the winter time my hair feels very dry. This shampoo and conditioner really give me soft, clean and fresh smelling hair. I love the scent of this shampoo. It is really an indulgent scent without being too overpowering. My hair looks healthy and instead of being very dry my hair feels soft and silky and has a beautiful shine. The shampoo and conditioner are easy to use. The shampoo lathers very well and is easy to rinse after that I apply the conditioner and gently massage it into the scalp and then I rinse again. It doesn't weigh down my hair and my hair feels very soft after using both products. It is easy to comb through my hair without having any tangles. The shampoo and conditioner both have a nice fresh fragrance that will really give you that clean feeling. I really recommend this shampoo and conditioner especially when you have dry hair.

Love this!
I haven't been much of a fan of Pantene until I tried this shampoo! Love the smell and how soft and shiny it makes my hair. I found my new shampoo!

Won't buy again
I usually buy Pantene Pro-V. Found that the Expert works about equally well but not markedly better except for the bottle. It's much easier to get those last drops out of this bottle!

Great hydrating shampoo
My hair is thick, wavy, dry, frizzy, and easily tangled. Even after first use, I noticed it leaves my hair soft and hydrated. My hair is also easier to brush after I use this shampoo/conditioner. The scent is very subtle and not overpowering like other pantene products. I also didn't notice any frizz which is a concern for me. The only con is that it is a little more expensive than my regular shampoo/conditioner. I would probably use this once a week to control dryness and frizz. Overall it is a great product.

Good shampoo for the price
This shampoo is nice and thick and has a really pleasant scent that reminds me of coconut. It is a thick shampoo that spreads and lathers very easily and leaves your hair very clean. I enjoyed the scent and the appearance of the shampoo and it left my hair feeling very clean, just not as soft and silky as other brands that I normally buy. Good shampoo for the price and it lasts a long time.

Had to repeat
For my hair to get and feel clean I had to reappear the shampoo 3 times. First for any brand I have used. The packaging and scent were acceptable.

Moisturizes well, suds easily.
The Pantene Pro Expert Intense Hydration Shampoo added moisture to my hair quickly. It suds easily so you can use a smaller amount of the shampoo. The shampoo was easy to rinse out and has a nice scent

Exactly what she needs
I gave this product to my mom to try since her hair is very dry. After 2 uses in 2 days, she already felt a little different in her hair. She likes it so far.

Works Great!
It works great! You don't need as much product to cover your whole head like other brands. I would say it's very comparable to Biolage. The only complaint that I have is that the smell isn't very strong and fades fast.

lightly scented, moisturizing shampoo
I found that this Pantene Inten se Hydration shampoo was lightly scented--more of a clean smell rather than a flowery or other heavy scent. It lathered up nicely and you only had to use a little bit; it easily rinsed out as well; I have pretty dry, colored hair, so I liked the way it hydrated/moisturized my hair; not sure I could use it on a daily basis with my type of fine hair, but will definitely use it once a week.

Left my hair soft and smooth
After having a chance to try this Pantene expert intense hydrating shampoo I like the fact that it actually made my hair extremely soft and smooth. It actually gave my hair moisture to make it look healthier and feel healthier. I also like the fact that it has a nice scent but it's still light and doesn't weigh down your hair
