Pantene Pro-V Expressions

We spend so much on colour, it's nice that protecting it isn't the same...

What: Pantene Pro-V Expressions Shampoo & Conditioner

Where: All mass drug and grocery retailers

How much: $9.99

Why it's sweet: It's easy to get overwhelmed in the shampoo aisle. Then we were introduced to these new offerings from Pantene - and the new colour-protection collection is worth knowing about. Streamlined to six options (taking down the mass confusion), pick up the bottle that looks like your colour and you're done. The science and liquid crystals will do the rest (and create a replacement for the protective layer colouring strips from our strands). Our hair felt smoother and looked glossier straight from one wash. The presentation taught us the science; our test drive convinced us to keep buying it.
