not able to use pantene in the past due to the residue it left on my hair was hoping this new formula was different ... still not able to my hair was greasy my 12

I'm sorry, but I do not like this shampoo or the conditioner for that matter. It has a nice smell, consistency, and great packaging for the environment. However, it strips my hair of moisture. I was only able to stand using the product for 4 days before I had to switch back to my regular stuff. My hair is high lighted, so I am sure that plays a part. My hair had so many frizzy fly-away pieces, lost some of its shine, and the softness was dramatically reduced. I even felt like my scalp was so much dryer. If you don't have color treated hair, try it. But I pay too much money to have a product like this wreak havoc on my hair.

The name "Nature Fusion" implies that the shampoo is chem-free/organic. I feel like Suave has mislead us to believe the product is all natural. While the packaging is environmentally friendly the product itself is not. The shampoo contains sulphates that many feel are damaging. Deceptive marketing? One star for packaging, Zero for product.

Was really happy that Pantene is making an effort to be more environmentally-friendly with their bottles, but still not a big fan of the ingredients in the actual shampoo. Other companies are using healthier ingredients and as a major company, P&G could be helping to lead the way for mainstream products to get healthy too. Scent was too strong, but it lathered well.

Again, kudos to the plant-based bottle. However, your "natural" nature-fusion campaign isn't a natural product. Sodium laureth sulfate? A nature-based shampoo wouldn't include this ingredient. Yellow 5 and Orange 4 could be replaced with natural colors or omitted entirely. A natural fragrance would be my choice over a chemical additive. Why are there multiple surfactants in this product?

I really don't like the shampoo because it gives my hair a funky texture. My hair isn't soft.

This shampoo earns 1 star on scent alone, it smells divine! But beyond that, I wasn't really impressed. I have very fine (but thick), straight hair that gets greasy quickly with no coloring or other processing. The shampoo by itself left my hair feeling totally stripped. Once dry, my hair felt good (after using the conditioner), but looked dull and lifeless and seemed to have more trouble with sticky-outy bits than usual. On the "future friendly" and "natural" aspects: Overall, not really impressed for several reasons. 1. While I appreciate the use of pasture land for growing the sugar cane used in making the bottles (so no deforestation), I question the long-term sustainability of using a food crop to make plastic. We've seen from the use of corn-derived ethanol in this country the impact that has been made on food prices. There's no way this would be viable as an overall trend, and if it's just one product in one manufacturer's line, it seems like it's just a token change. 2. The ingredients are not very natural, there are as many or more unnatural chemicals in this shampoo as there are in any other shampoo I've used. Adding a few naturally-derived ingredients to something doesn't make it natural. 3. 100% recyclable except for the cap? Since caps are much denser than bottles, I wonder about the true percentage of the total package that is recyclable. 4. "Up to 59%" from sugarcane? Logically speaking, that could be anything from 1% to 59%. I'd rather see something like "at least 40% from sugarcane," or "40% to 59%" from sugarcane, or whatever the real deal is. I'm tired of reading between the lines. 5. Truthfully, I'd like to see a company step away from the whole, "must have brand new fancy package every time" model of marketing. I realize there are probably all kinds of logistical problems associated with going to, say, reusable glass bottles or even reusable plastic bottles, but the truth is that when we continually make new stuff (even if it's from recycled materials---notice most new things from recycled materials are not from 100% recycled materials anyway), we continually use energy and raw materials. We live in a "throw away" society and that's simply not indefinitely sustainable. I would love to see a shampoo company move towards providing "refills" in a truly biodegradable packaging that I could use to refill a bottle I already have, for instance. And a product that is truly natural and won't contaminate groundwater as the refill packaging DOES biodegrade. ;0)

I have used Pantene and it always dries my hair out even using their conditioner. Pantene has alcohol in it that damages and dries out your hair. No thanks.

I was excited to try this new shampoo and conditioner. I have to say, I am not that thrilled with it. I love the smell of both the shampoo and conditioner and I LOVE the fact that they are using environmentally friendly packaging. Unfortunately, the product makes my hair dull and lifeless. My hair won't even hold a curl when using it. I'm going to continue using the product to see if my results improve but as of now, I doubt I'll continue buying it when I run out.

I would normally never use Pantene as it's loaded with sulfates & other harmful chemicals but I was in agreement to try the Nature Fusion line because I was thinking "great natural ingredients"! Wrong. The 2nd ingredient is sodium laureth sulfate. SLS is a detergent used in shampoo and other products to make it lather. It also can cause contact dermatitis since it's a huge irritant. SLS strips hair of it's natural oils drying out the scalp which then causes your scalp to produce oil to compensate for the dryness. It also strips hair of color. I have not used sulfites in months. I used this once and my scalp became an itchy mess. It is also noted that sls is absorbed through our skin and who knows what it can lead to. I do appreciate that Pantene added some ingredients derived from plants. This is a great start but instead of sls, they should have focused on plant quality cleansing agents.

The shampoo dried out my hair horribly. I've never really been able to use Pantene as it weighs down my hair too much. I was really excited about trying this new line; I was very disappointed. Bummer, I really wanted to love this product! I gave it 2 stars only because I love the smell of Pantene!

I was a little skeptical when I first heard about Pantene's new "green" line, and after using it I am still not convinced. For the positives, I thought the shampoo was really moisturizing on my hair and it lathered really well. On the downside, I was not impressed by the "green" advertising. In my opinion, the only thing green about this shampoo was the color of the bottle. As some other reviewers have said, this shampoo still contains sulfates, which are horrible for the environment and your hair. If Pantene is really trying to be green, they should get rid of the sulfates. Plus, this shampoo dried my scalp really badly. After just one week of using it I had to stop to get rid of all the flakes. And, I didn't like the smell. I'm giving it a 2 because I think the product advertises falsely as being "future-friendly". I didn't try this product expecting not to like it. I have used and liked Pantene products before. I probably won't use this one again, though.

I think this product is better suited to someone with dry or damaged hair than my fine straight hair.

I really wanted to love this product. I have used Pantene in the past and I have a love hate relationship with it. My hair is naturally wavy-curly. I have products that can make it super greasy or super dry and have a hard time finding the happy medium. I wash my hair every 2-3 days b/c of the texture. I have used this product the last 5 times I have washed my hair. The smell is great, I really love it. The shampoo lathers well and rinses out fine. I have noticed my hair feels a bit softer, but it looks dried out and frizzy. Out of curiousness I washed my hair last night with my normal Biolage and my hair is back to it's normal self. This product and my hair type is not a match :(

As usual it smells good and good work on eco-frindly packaging. I have used Pantene shampoo before and the end result doesn't vary much from their other shampoos tha I have used in the past . I wish it made more improvement on the quality of the shampoo.I think this shampoo will work good with people who have normal , straight hairand doesn't need much work from the shampoo.
