Pantene Pro-V Curly Hair Series Professional Level Damage Repair Ampoules Review

Pantene Pro-V Curly Hair Series Professional Level Damage Repair Ampoules is a restorative and preventative deep treatment that maintains your hair health.  Amino Polymers (protein) are the structural reinforcers working to repair any damage as a result of chemicals and/or daily styling.  So in just 5 minutes (not bad right?!!) your hair is strengthened against damage.  Now, I wanted to see just how effective the claims were so I asked my buddy Victoria to try these out.  Why Victoria? Well, she is a teen who is in love with her flat iron.  Her constant straightening began to show signs of minor heat damage and I thought this could help. I usually see Victoria once a week and I noticed immediately how shiny her hair was after using the product.  WAIT! Let me hush. You have to see the results for yourself...

Victoria's expeperience:

I used the Pantene Professional Level Ampoules for damaged, curly hair for 3 weeks.  I have long natural curly hair that I straighten on a weekly basis.  My hair is oily but tends to look damaged at the ends.  I only used half of a tube each time I washed my hair.  I used the product only on the ends of my hair because as I mentioned I have oily hair.  First off in using the product, I thought it smelled very nice.  It's very easy to use and the results after straightening my hair was amazing!  It looked like I had just gotten a hair cut.  It made my ends so soft with no dead ends and my hair looked very shiny. 

I think it's a great product to use for curly hair, especially if you straighten it often as I do. 

before (you can see split ends)

after (WOW!  though the pic is a bit blurry, you can still see a BIG difference)

Victoria is very pleased with the product and she said that she will not only replenish but she is open to trying other products from the line. I'm a fan of the Pantene Curl Series (read previous review here) so this makes me happy that another product in the line holds up to its claims.  Think you'll want to give it a try? C'mon! it's just  FIVE minutes of your time. :-)

NuMe Professional Styling Tool/Couture Review

If you want stellar results when styling your hair then you must have a tool that holds true to its claims.  When myself or my clients want to straighten out our natural curls I'm now going Couture by NuMe.  This NuMe Professional Styling Iron helps me get sleek, shine, bounce & hold.  It's lightweight, heats up really fast and as you can see from the pictures below, DELIVERS!!  NuMe offers a variety of flat irons for different needs and hair types.  The Couture is my choice because it's best for thick & curly hair.  It's tourmaline infused plates allows for a smooth glide and a beautiful sealed in shine.  If your stumped for styling ideas, no worries the inside lid of the package offers directions for five options: silky straight, soft curls or waves, flip in, flip out, and volumize.  My only wish for this iron is that the grooves on the top be made with a softer gripping material.  Over time of use, especially if the hair is plenty and  the temperature is up (it heats up to 410) the grooves  became uncomfortable to my fingers.  All in All  I am pleased with the results.
