Quick & Easy Sleek Low Bun Tutorial
Quick and Easy: Sleek low bun with a middle part.
I like to do this hairstyle on my wash days as it’s easier to sleek the hair back when it’s wet.
1️⃣ First I use a mix cream and hair oil on the ends. Oribe makes a good ones and it smells divine!
2️⃣ Then I spilt my hair into two sections. Using a small boar brush to sleek back the first part with Oribe gel to hold it in place.
3️⃣ Create a low pony and tie it back.
4️⃣ Brush back the rest of the hair with gel and tie back another pony over top of the first one.
5️⃣ To prevent fly aways, use a bit more cream and hair oil on the ends, twist the pony into a low bunch and secure it with an elastic band.
6️⃣ Finish with hairspray to hold everything in place.

Treating My Dry Hair with Baobab Essence
This post was sponsored by Pantene.
I’ve always taken good care of my hair, however with fewer trims and dry conditions means my hair has been on the drier side. I’ve started using Pantene’s Baobab-based hair care to whip my dehydrated hair into shape and get it looking soft again.
Also if I’m honest, it’s been months since my last trim and my ends have been looking parched so this is how I’ve been giving my hair an extra bit of TLC.
My goal is to hydrate my dry hair and so I’ve been using Pantene’s Hydrating Glow Shampoo with Baobab Essence. I like it because it’s free of sulfates, parabens, mineral oils, dyes, and fragrance-free. It’s also enriched with Pantene’s iconic blend of pro-vitamin B5, antioxidants, and Baobab Essence and leaves my hair feeling soft and refreshed.
For conditioner, I’ve been using Pantene’s Hydrating Glow Conditioner with Baobab Essence. Similar to the shampoo, the formula is hydrating and vitamin E infused, free of sulfates, parabens, mineral oils, dyes, and it’s also fragrance-free. It keeps the tangles away and hydrates my ends so that my hair looks and feels hydrated and glowy.
Post shower, I’ve been using Pantene’s Thirsty Ends Milk to Water Serum, also from the Hydrating Glow Collection with Baobab Essence.
This milky serum transforms to water and is meant to be used on the ends of the hair to lock in moisture and prevent split ends.
It has long-lasting hydration and can be used on both wet and dry hair to give ends a moisture boost whenever needed.
For my thick, frizz-prone hair, I was happy to see how The Thirsty Ends Milk to Water Serum smoothed out my hair and left it feeling and looking soft and hydrated. I like to use it on my ends whenever they’re looking parched and need a hydration boost.
So by now, you’re wondering what exactly is baobab if you haven’t already heard of it.
WHAT EXACTLY IS BAOBAB?
Baobab is a tree native to Tanzania where the climate is extremely dry and arid. It stores water in its massive trunk and produces nutrient-dense fruit. This is pretty amazing considering the climate it lives in, which is why the baobab is also known as “The Tree of Life”.
BENEFITS OF BAOBAB
In skincare and haircare, Baobab is moisturizing, soothing, and hydrates dry hair. It’s also rich in antioxidants, surpassing goji berries and match, and is rich in vitamin E.
PANTENE’S BAOBAB ESSENCE
In their new Baobab Collection, Pantene has created a formula that’s excellent for reviving dehydrated hair and restoring hair’s softness and glow.
The three-piece haircare collection includes the Shampoo, Conditioner, and The Thirsty Ends Milk to Water Serum - a new favourite of mine.
If you're looking for a hydration boost to your dry hair, I’d highly recommend checking out Pantene’s Hydrating Glow Collection with Baobab Essence to convert your dry hair into soft, hydrated locks.

Trying Pantene’s New Sulfate-Free Rose Water Collection
A couple of years ago I was excited to try this incredible smelling sulfate-free shampoo that I had received from PR. The bottle retails for around $50 and was the hottest thing in sulfate-free hair care at the time.
I stepped into the shower, excited to lather up only to find nothing happened. No lather whatsoever. It felt like a cream had taken the place of my normal shampoo and somehow this cream was supposed to wash my 4-day old hair. Um, Okay.
I let my hair air dry like normal only to find that my roots felt weighed down with shampoo residue. The whole experience didn’t exactly leave me with clean hair which was extremely frustrating, to say the least.
Since that experience, I’ve stayed away from sulfate-free hair products because I just assumed they don’t work on my thick hair.
As you might already know, I’m a BIG fan of Pantene so when I was sent a bottle of their sulfate-free Rose Water collection, I was intrigued but didn’t want to get my hopes up.
I tried the Rose Water shampoo for the first time just shortly after getting a fresh balayage knowing that the formula is:
- colour safe
- sulfate-free
- paraben-free
- dye-free
- hydrating
- rich in antioxidants
Plus I trust Pantene and have always had a positive experience with their shampoos and conditioners.
To my surprise, the Rose Water shampoo worked into a luxurious lather in my hair. The shampoo is clear and smells subtly of rose water, which I love.
After shampooing, I worked the Rose Water conditioner into my hair and let it sit for a minute before rinsing it away, along with my tangles. This formula is said to instantly release nutrient-rich hydration leaving hair replenished, shiny and smooth. I kid you not, Pantene makes some of the best conditioners around and this one didn't disappoint.
Okay, so it passed the lather test. Seeing whether or not my hair was actually clean once I dried was the next test.
Once dry, my hair felt clean, hydrated, and soft. No residue weighing down my roots either. Pass!
For a few months now I’ve been alternating between the Rose Water collection and my other Pantene fave, the Smooth & Sleek collection. My balayage colour is still in check and I’m really happy with the health and manageability of my hair.
I have to say that Pantene’s Rose Water collection outperformed that high-end $50 bottle by a long shot. It didn’t leave my hair weighed down with a film like the other brand. I also didn't have to sacrifice the lather in my shampoo and still had the benefits of a hydrating, antioxidant rich formula. There were no compromises and it worked as effectively as expected from Pantene.

Hair Hacks You Need to Know If You Want Beautiful, Healthy Hair
When it comes to haircare, I’m extremely picky. After a run in with an inexperienced hairdresser who left me looking like Bozo the clown, how can you blame me?
Since then I’ve fine-tuned my hair care routine and I’ve got it down to a science! Even though the damage hasn’t FULLY grown out, it’s not obvious that it had been in such a fragile state at one point.
I’ve teamed up with Pantene to share my top 5 Hair Tips. All their styling products have vitamins and antioxidants and help protect hair from styling damage, which is a huge relief for me given what my hair’s gone through in the past. Whether your hair needs some TLC or if you just want to prevent damage, these tips should work wonders for you as they have for me.
5 Easy Hair Tips For Healthy Locks
1. How To Prevent Split Ends
Ever since jumping on the heat protector bandwagon, I refuse to heat style my hair without it. This one is actually a heat primer, which contains nutrients and protects hair from up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit - excellent for keeping away those split ends and going even longer between trims. I also love how light-weight it is.
2. How to Prolong The Life of Your Hair Style
When I first heard that I could use Pantene’s Air Spray BEFORE heat styling to lock in my curl, I was apprehensive but I went forward and tried It anyway. Since the formula is alcohol-free, there’s zero crunch, residue or stickiness, making it ideal to use before and after heat styling. Best of all, it’s a brushable hair spray that leaves hair soft to the touch while locking in that style and extending its life. And never any flaking. YES!
3. How To Skip A Wash Day Like A Pro
I have A LOT of hair so I’ll go three or four days between washes. I learned this tip by accident when my hair was at the five-day point and I desperately needed to go one more day. For the sake of making my dry shampoo even more effective, I sprayed it on to my roots before going to bed so it could soak up those natural oils overnight. Well, it worked and my hair wasn’t nearly as gnarly the next morning. In fact, it looked pretty darn good! I love that the dry shampoo from Pantene has natural tapioca in it and doesn’t leave a white residue.
4. How to Fake Healthy Hair When Your Ends Are As Dry As The Desert
Two words if your hair is dry like mine. Hair Oil. Seriously, this is non-negotiable for me because the frizz is an untamed beast otherwise. I put on a bit when my hair Is damp to help nourish the ends, before blow drying. Once my hair is styled, I’ll add a bit more, only to the ends, as the final step to get that silky smooth hair we all want. This Pantene Nourishing Oil is infused with nutrients and can also help seal split end for hair that looks super healthy and shiny, but still feels light-weight.
5. How to Revitalize Dry, Damaged Hair
After having my colour treated recently, it was drier than ever and was tangling like crazy in the shower. I used some fancy conditioner that actually did nothing for me - so I jumped out of the shower soaking wet and grabbed my trusty Intense Rescue Shots. (Why did I bother with anything else?) Formulated with Pro-Vitamin B5, strengthening lipids and natural glycerin, this potent conditioner melts away tangles, repairs damage, and leaves hair ridiculously smooth and soft. Best of all, it works its magic in just one minute.
I hope these tips are super easy for you and that you want to try them for yourself. Whether you’re trying to get your hair healthy, OR if you just want to maintain the health of your hair - it’s worth a shot.
It's been a mission and a half to get my hair to where it is now and I would hate to see anyone else go through the learning curve that I did.
We all know that Pantene has an awesome range of shampoos and conditioners, and now they make it easier with their antioxidant and vitamin-infused styling products so why not give it a try!
Good luck and cheers to healthy hair!

How I Keep My Hair Healthy From Styling Heat Damage
We all know that daily heat damage not only causes split ends but prevents hair from being shiny and bouncy. But how much do you know about keeping it healthy?
Since I’m on a mission to grow my hair longgggg, I thought it would be fun to give you some tips on how I’ve been keeping it healthy. In a couple of years, I’ve been able to successfully grown my hair from a (not so flattering) shoulder grazing bob with a bad dye job to healthy hair that’s midway down my back. I must be doing something right, although I now find myself with a new set of challenges. It’s not just about growing my hair but also about keeping it healthy.
PLAY, RESCUE, RESET
Just as I like options in my wardrobe, I also want options of different looks with my hair. Between blow drying, using a curling wand, flat iron, and occasionally colouring it, my hair goes through a lot. Just like everyone else, my top priority is keeping it healthy and shiny.
I recently had a chance to try Pantene’s new Intense Rescue Shots for the first time. It’s like the most intensive treatment/conditioner you can use to keep your strands healthy and repair any existing damage. Just apply it from root to tip, leave in for one minute to repair (and in my case prevent) extreme damage and then rinse.
I truly love how easy it is to use and that it only takes a single minute to work its magic.
In terms of what it does for my hair – it melts tangles away in the shower and leaves my hair smooth but lightweight and bouncy, gives me a shine boost, and allows my hair to be more responsive to heat styling in addition to extending the life of my hair style. Normally when I straighten it, I wake up with wavy hair the next day because that my hair’s natural texture. Since I’ve started incorporating the Intense Rescue Shots into my weekly routine, I’ve noticed my hair actually maintains its style, which is pretty amazing for my hair type.
It’s so much easier for me to switch up hair styles now and go from straight to wavy from one day to the next without causing extensive damage.
BEFORE USING PANTENE’S INTENSE RESCUE SHOTS
Both images here are showing 3rd day hair. Before using Pantene’s Intense Rescue Shots my ends would look dry and tangled, and the damage from the heat I used to create the look would start to show through.
AFTER USING PANTENE’S INTENSE RESCUE SHOTS
After using the Rescue Shot and also with 3rd day hair. I had freshly curled my hair that morning and had worn it straight the day before. My ends are more hydrated here and my hair felt softer and not as tangled - and I had even forgotten to use styling crème because I was in a rush.
ONE MINUTE IS ALL IT TAKES
Unlike other treatments, Pantene’s Rescue Shots works its magic in just ONE minute. The deep conditioning treatment repairs damage in just one use and turns dry, brittle hair into the soft, shiny locks we all want. It rinses clean without residue or weighing down and gives salon-like hair. Use it as a weekly treatment by applying from roots to tip.
FOUR TIPS THAT ACTUALLY WORK TO KEEP HAIR HEALTHY
Using a weekly hair treatment like Pantene’s new Intense Rescue Shots. It repair’s damage in just ONE use!
Sleeping with a silk pillow case. It reduces friction and breakage on the hair. Bonus, silk keeps skin from getting those nasty pillow creases.
Allow hair to air dry. A lot of you won’t want to hear this because we’re so tied to our hair dryers, but this is the most effective thing you can do to reduce damage. Try washing your hair at night instead!
Put hair into a super high loose ponytail using a scrunchie at night. Your hair style will be fresh the next morning. Trust me, I was skeptical when I first heard it but I tried it, got my BFF to try it, and now we both swear by the bedtime scrunchie trick.
Overall, the Pantene Rescue Shots are everything I’ve been missing in my hair care routine. I’ve noticed since using them my hair is more manageable and softer than before so I don’t have to feel guilty when I reach for the styling tools.

The Best Conditioner for Battling Hair Static & Dryness
Winter is just around the corner and we all know that does to our hair – STATIC. DRYNESS. DULLNESS. UGH.
Tackling static is one thing but in combination with winter accessories like hats, scarves, and coats, it’s a lot to consider. Or you know when it gets too warm indoors and you go to pull your sweater off over your head and whoosh, static mayhem, hairs flying everywhere for the rest of the day, sticking to your face and making it impossible to focus.
I personally have another winter hair issue all together. I have this terrible habit of tucking my hair into my coat. Don’t ask why but it’s a comfort thing. I have this idea that if I don’t then my scarf or my handbag will damage my hair form tugging on the strands. In actuality I’m probably just introducing friction to my hair therefore damaging the ends and turning everything into a big static’y mess. (I really need to stop.)
WHY DOES STATIC HAPPEN IN HAIR?
To help me with this question, I tapped into Pantene’s Principal Scientist, Dr. Jeni Thomas who told me that static is caused by lack of moisture - low humidity from indoor heating and harsh winter weather outdoors.
She also explains, “Proteins in our hair fibers give hair a natural charge, but this charge is dissipated by hair’s internal moisture. When it’s cold outside or with electric indoor heating, humidity levels are exceptionally low – our hair tries to match those levels, which means it becomes stripped of static-blocking moisture.
Add a touch of friction, like taking off your scarf, and SPARK! Instant annoying static electricity. Suddenly hair is sticking out in all directions. That happens as the electrical charge on one strand repels the charge from the neighboring strand, pushing each other away from like two opposing magnets rather than flowing together.”
HOW TO GET RID OF HAIR STATIC
Conditioners like the Repair & Protect collection from Pantene help keep static away thanks to the micro-moisturizers in the formula that hydrate every strand. “Pantene conditioners are formulated by carefully balancing moisturizing ingredients that regulate the hydration levels of hair and penetrate each layer of the hair fiber” says Dr. Jeni Thomas.
So now that you know how Pantene works to beat static, make sure that you’re conditioning from root to tip in the shower to keep those fly-aways away. ;)
Here’s to healthy, static-free hair this winter!
WHY DOES MY HAIR LOOK DULL IN WINTER?
Hair can look dull when there’s damage along the shaft and it doesn’t reflect the light on the strands. Pantene’s conditioners features “smart-technology” that targets the damaged parts of the hair.
Since I’ve been growing out my hair I’ve found that I not only tuck it into coats, but sweaters, AND it’s constantly getting caught on the shoulder strap of my handbag.
I kid you not, the damage is evident when I condition with something other than Pantene (look I have two bathrooms and right now only one of them is stocked with Pantene and the other one has a $30 bougie conditioner and shampoo that leaves my hair looking lack luster and frayed.) What can I say? Pantene is where it’s at.

Frizz-Free Summer Hair feat. PANTENE
Summer is pretty much here and we’re all living for it, except me. Sunny skies and 35 degrees of sweltering heat. Do you know what that does to a girl’s hair when she’s rushing around the city going from meeting to meeting? Mayhem. Hair mayhem!
The reality is, I love fall. I love the cool air, the layered fashion and the humidity-free weather. Most of all, I really like that I don’t have to worry about my hair flaring up into a frizz ball that resembles a lions mane.
Summer for me has always meant big, unmanageable, frizzy hair and I’ve always felt too deterred to even deal with it, so it was always tied back in a ponytail.
My pony had so many frizzy fly-aways coming out of every which direction that I should have just gotten myself a hat! LOL! Childhood can be cruel, that I’m sure we can all agree on, and I for one have spent a good chunk of my adulthood trying to figure out how to deal with the hair I was given.
Conditioner is the biggest key player in getting it looking smooth and healthy in the summer months. It’s the best way of fighting humidity, keeping away frizz and holding onto my hairstyle! Without it, my waves fall out and my hair puffs up like a lion’s mane! Remember those before and after pics from my last PANTENE post? ;)
Before I made the switch to PANTENE I was going back and forth between some high-end designer stuff and another drugstore brand. My job as a fashion and beauty blogger means that I’m constantly testing out new products for you guys so I can give you my honest review.
My hair completely transformed as soon as I started using PANTENE’s Smooth & Sleek Conditioner. It’s way more manageable now and can withhold even the hottest of summer days in the city. I have to admit that one of the coolest outcomes from using PANTENE these last few months has to be that my hair is much stronger and healthier now!
If you want to read about how I style my hair, keep reading below.
How I Style My Hair for Soft Waves
1.
The foundation of all good hair days starts in the shower. I use PANTENE’s Smooth & Sleek Shampoo and Conditioner collection to bring out my natural waves and keep the frizz away. PANTENE’s conditioners are all formulated to protect and strengthen hair, and they have over a dozen different ones to suit all hair types, so be sure to get the right formula for you.
2.
Right out of the shower I use their combing crème in my damp hair before running a wide-tooth comb through it. The product allows the comb to glide through wet hair, minimizing any breakage.
3.
I air dry when I can but if not, I set the blow dryer to medium heat and always use a heat protector.
4.
Now that my hair is dry, I divide my hair into four sections. I work through each one by taking a small 1-inch piece at a time and glide my flat iron down my hair, twisting my wrist mid-way to create a soft curl.
5.
As I work my way through each section of my hair, I set the curls with PANTENE’S Airspray, an alcohol-free aerosol hairspray with flexible hold. I love this one because it doesn’t leave your hair sticky or crunchy and doesn’t have that alcohol scent that a lot of hairsprays have!
6.
Once I’m done my whole head and the hairspray is set, I take a hairbrush and gently brush my hair, converting all of those curls into soft waves.
That’s it!
BONUS STYLE TRICK: At night I put my hair into a super high ponytail, right on the top of head, and I sleep on a silk pillow case. I find doing this doesn’t flatten my curls at all. In the morning, I just let it out, give it a quick brush and I’m ready.

Changing the way you think of conditioner FOREVER feat. Pantene
I’m all for making myself a human guinea pig if that means proving to you guys how awesome something is. In the four years I’ve been blogging, I’ve gone from having virgin hair, to dying it burgundy, to desperately trying to go back to my natural colour. That’s when I ended up with one of the worst bleach jobs ever.
I went into the salon with normal hair and left with what resembled straw in its place. My once shiny, healthy hair was transformed into this coarse mess that was sticking out straight like I had just put my finger into a light socket and been electrocuted. I was afraid to even brush my hair in fear of having it fall out. Oh, and the colour, you guessed it, also resembled straw. Yup. It was that bad.
It took a couple of years, regular trims and lots of conditioner, but I’m happy to see my hair looking and feeling healthy again. Conditioner has been key to getting my hair back into shape, but what I really learned is that no matter what your hair type, conditioner is a must. Keep reading and you’ll see exactly what I mean in this post.
Using my nightmare bleach job as inspiration, I couldn’t think of a better way to show you guys just how important my Pantene conditioner is in my regular haircare routine.

In this post I’m gonna do a side by side comparison - one side using Pantene conditioner, and one side without. I’m also going to let my hair air dry because as you’ll see, my hair is naturally very frizzy. My thought here is that anyone can have beautiful hair with using heat tools, but how well a product works really shows when you let it air dry.
Okay, let’s get to it!
Choosing the Right Conditioner for Your Hair
When choosing a formula, think about your natural hair type. Is it frizzy, curly, straight, do you want more volume? From there, choose a collection to help you get that hair you want. Luckily Pantene has a dozen different types to choose from so anyone can find what they need. Choosing the right conditioner is super important because if you choose the wrong one – like one that’s too rich for your hair type – you may feel like it weighs down and then you may give up on conditioner all together but don’t do that! Conditioner plays such an important role in overall hair health.
I was also interested to learn that Pantene makes their conditioners with Smart Technology (think of it like these micro-moisturizers) that target damaged areas of the hair. Any leftover moisturizers that aren’t needed are just rinsed away, so you don’t get any weigh down on the hair.
I’ll be using the Smooth & Sleek collection to minimize my frizz but maintain the natural wave in my hair. I’m also a big fan of the Daily Moisture Renewal 3 Minute Miracle Deep Conditioner because it keeps my hair hydrated, shiny and soft.
The Half and Half Test
I washed my hair as normal and parted it down the middle. I put up the half that would be conditioner-less, and then applied my Smooth & Sleek conditioner to the other half, from root to tip. Because Pantene’s Smart Technology targets damaged areas with micro-moisturizers but also prevents future damage, I always like to condition it all.
Feeling the Difference
After my shower I was really afraid to take down the half without conditioner and run a comb through it because; A) I don’t want to damage my hair, and B) brushing out all of those knots is gonna hurt!
My comb easily slid through my hair on the side where I used Smooth & Sleek. On the side without, I needed multiple passes to get out the knots and tangles out.
Since hair is most vulnerable and prone to breakage when it’s wet, this is just another way that Pantene conditioners helps prevent damage.
The Proof Is in The Pudding (err, conditioner in this case)
So it’s been a couple of hours now and I’ve let my hair air dry. Right away I can see the difference between the side with Smooth & Sleek conditioner and the side without. Brushing the side without the conditioner when dry sucked just as much as it did while it was wet. As you can see, the brush didn’t exactly run through it easily. Also, how out of control is my frizz?
It’s actually pretty amazing see the difference both side of my hair and how my natural waves are brought out by just using my Pantene conditioner. That half looks and feels softer, and healthier. It’s shiny and still has plenty of volume even when I conditioned from root to tip.
What I like best about Pantene, regardless of what collection I use, is how it washes away clean and doesn’t leave behind any residue or build up. Other brands I’ve tried in the past have been cumbersome to wash out or have left my hair totally weighed down.
EMBRACING MY NATURAL HAIR
Up until working on this post and doing the half/half experiment, I’ve forgotten how crazy my natural hair texture is. Growing up, I hated my hair so much that often put it up in a ponytail because I didn’t know how to deal with it. I actually had a permanent dent in my hair from where the elastic sat for years!
Now perhaps I’m being too sentimental here, but how I feel about my hair now, versus then, is a world of difference. Whereas I used to hide my hair before, I truly love my hair now.
Since I know how to deal with it now, I can embrace my hair natural and still have it be manageable, soft and frizz-free courtesy my Pantene conditioner.
