Pantene Pro-V Repair & Protect Shampoo and Conditioner Review & Giveaway

I have really been putting my poor locks through a lot lately. A couple of months ago I went from blonde to denim  and I have been playing around with quite a few shades of grey ever since.

This has resulted in hair that is a bit stressed and overworked.

Pantene Repair & Protect & Gold Tangle Teezer

This is where Pantene comes in. They were kind enough to send me a hamper containing the Pantene Pro-V Repair & Protect Shampoo and Conditioner to try and I’m loving it. They popped a beautiful gold Tangle Teezer in the parcel too and I’m totally smitten with its utter gorgeousness. But I digress…

Pantene Pro-V Repair & Protect Shampoo and Conditioner Review

This year, Pantene is launching its newest formulation to restore and maintain hair health from the core. This breakthrough – which is the world’s first to work at the core for stronger, shinier hair – will give women across the region more beautiful hair that can do it all! The new Pantene Pro-V with Histidine, goes deep inside the hair shaft – to the cellular level – to work on the remaining 95% where damaging impurities exist. As the impurities build up over time, hair starts to weaken. Hair feels rough and becomes less manageable, and visibly loses its depth of colour and natural shine.

Pantene Pro-V Repair and Protect is designed for damaged, stressed, and overworked hair and aims to restore smoothness, shine and manageability to the hair. And it does just that.

The shampoo is super luxurious and creamy and leaves my hair feeling soft and smooth. I prefer SLS free shampoos, this one does not leave my hair feeling stripped at all, even when I use it very frequently.

The conditioner is my favourite of the two. It leaves my hair feeling incredibly smooth and soft with a beautiful shine. My curls look amazing when I use this conditioner.

The smell of both the shampoo and conditioner needs an extra special mention. Oh my. It’s lovely and it lingers. I am besotted. I don’t know if the changed the scent since I last used Repair & Protect, but I can’t remember that it smelt quite this good. Two thumbs up.

All in all, I would highly recommend the Pantene Pro-V Repair & Protect Shampoo and Conditioner. The condition of my hair improves with every use. If you have very dry, damaged hair, you should really give it a try.

Why I am fat… again

Those words were quite hard to type. I can’t believe I am here again. Fat.

If this is something that you are not interested in, kindly move a long. The reason I am sharing this, is to hold myself accountable and to share my journey for those of you who find themselves feeling fat, ugly and hopeless. Perhaps this post will help you not feel quite so alone in your struggles.

I’ve struggled with my weight most of my life. I gained a lot of weight during and after my pregnancy and I finally really did something about in 2014 and I lost a lot of weight. Read about it HERE. I just reread that post myself and I still can’t really believe what I have done to myself.

I was happy, healthy, moderately fit and happy with the way I looked. Then…

In February 2015 I landed up in hospital and had to undergo spinal surgery. That meant that I was on my back for 8 weeks. It also meant that I was no longer allowed to run or do boot camp. I was also not allowed to pick up my child or vacuum the house. I am still not really supposed to be doing most of those things. My heart was broken.

And what do I do when my heart is sore? I eat. And today I have regained all of the weight I lost in 2014 and more!

Over the last year I have tried to lose weight many times. All unsuccessful. And every time something ‘bad’ happened, I would head to the fridge. This has to stop.

I want to be healthy. I want to live an active life. I want to be there for my child. I want to feel comfortable in my own body. And I want to look good!

Now, you are probably wondering how I’m going to do this?

I have been chosen as 1 of 30 contestants to take part in the Slender Challenge competition sponsored by Health Renewal.

The slender challenge

Slender Challenge 8 kicked off today.

We are following the Body Renewal Medical Weight Loss program and you can follow our 12 week weight loss journey HERE.

Wish me luck. I hope this is the last time I ever have to ask for that!
