Pantene is widely respected for its ability to create effective and different formulas for different hair needs.  **Pantene Relaxed & Natural Breakage Defense Conditioner** is one of the best after-shampoo moisturizing products that I've ever used for my relaxed hair.  The conditioner is formulated with the company's trademark Pro-Vitamin Complex and it is designed to strengthen ethnic hair and protect it from future damage.  The "Breakage Defense" formula promises to significantly reduce shedding due to breakage. I tried the [shampoo][1]  and loved how clean, fresh, and detangled my hair felt after I rinsed away the suds.  I squeezed a glob of the creamy conditioner in my hair and worked it into my damp hair from roots to tips.  The scent of the conditioner was fresh and the texture was thick enough that it stayed put and didn't drip down my back.  I left it in for about 3 minutes, and then rinsed well.  The Breakage Defense Conditioner left my hair feeling soft and detangled.  As I combed through my damp hair, I noticed that I had significantly less hair in my comb (which means more stays on my head!).  My relaxed hair had a nice shine to it and the comb slid through it with no problem.  I avoid heat styling, so the true test of a conditioner is how my hair looks after it air-dries.   The Breakage Defense Condition passed this test as well.  As my hair dried naturally, it maintained its straightness and shine and didn't frizz up into a curly ball.  This is truly one of the nicest conditioners I've ever used and I hope it stays on store shelves for a long time. Of course, no conditioner can perform miracles; nothing takes the place of avoiding over-processed hair, maintaining regular trims, and keeping hair moisturized between shampoos.  Still, I highly recommend Pantene as a girl's best defense against dry brittle hair.
