Hot sticky mess; that is the term I would use to describe my hair during my childhood. I studied in a Convent school and the sisters had one rule, hair should be oiled every day. I remember desperately waiting for the weekends when I could wash my hair with shampoo (which was considered to be a luxury in the early 90’s) and tie it up in fancy ponytails. Monday, would arrive too soon and with it would bring its best buddy; a bottle of oil which would then be applied on hair. I have grown up hearing the many variations of a simple phrase believed to be the ultimate secret to lustrous and long hair.
The secret to long hair is oil
The secret to long hair is heating up the oil and then applying it
The real secret to long hair is adding camphor, neem leaves, and tulsi leaves, heating up the oil and applying it.
Think about it; no matter which part of India you are from, the only solution for strong and beautiful hair is oiling your hair regularly.
But can Dadi ka nuska be proved wrong? Back then, when our grandmoms were difficult and tantrum throwing teenagers just like us, the climate and the environment were much different. There were no pollutants, nobody styled or straightened their hair and the only salon in existence were barber shops for men. As years have passed; we have a new hair fad coming up every other day; our hair battles pollution and dust and the hair dryer is our best friend. Shouldn’t oil then get an upgrade and come back in a new avatar?
Guess what; it just did!
The New Pantene Oil Replacement, a rich and creamy product – which can be used on both damp and dry hair. It has Pro-V and goodness of oils; giving you 2X stronger hair without any hassles. Does that I mean I am ready to say Tel ko Tel Lagao? Let’s find out.
So how do you use Pantene Oil Replacement?
You can reap all the benefits of the New Pantene Oil Replacement in two simple steps:
-Rub a walnut-sized amount between the palms of your hands
-Distribute it evenly through the lengths of your damp or dry hair
You are done! It is that simple.

Pantene Oil Replacement: Review and Experience
Have you seen those ads where the model’s hair is merrily dancing in the breeze as she goes about doing her work. I have always been envious of it. My hair stays limp and lifeless (on the days I apply serum) or is frizzy and bleh (on all the other days).
I have been using the New Pantene Oil Replacement for a few weeks now and I must say it lives up to all its claims. Look at this clip; that was my moment to imitate a model in real life. Do you see how happy my hair looks?
I used this product during the Diwali pooja where I stunned my cousins, at a wedding where my hair looked prettier than the bride’s and to work a couple of times where my colleagues said, “Wow!”
I carry Pantene Oil Replacement around in my bag all the time if I need it for some quick styling but one thing you should know about using it on the go is that it will make your hands a little sticky. So I advise you to carry wet tissues to ensure that a thin layer of product residue does not stay on your hands.
My concluding remarks: Triple A meaning Pantene Oil Replacement is Affordable, it is Awespiring (Awesome + inspiring) and it makes me absent minded (basically I apply the product and forget to obsess about whether my hair is misbehaving)
Hot sticky mess? Nah. Use beautiful and lustrous to describe my hair now! 🙂
So Tel ko Tel Lagao? You bet!

I love these kinds of reviews. So precise and cool. Well, your hair certainly turned out right (more than right)! 🙂
My hair is naturally oily so I could never apply an oil like this. I’m so jealous of your long hair, it is absolutely beautiful!
I haven’t seen this product yet, but I would definitely try it out! Long hair is not for sissies!
Lately I have noticed my hair is looking really dry and damaged, going to pick some of the New Pantene Oil Replacement up and give it a try!
You look so gorgeous with your hairs. in snap. I am using hair cream instead of oil. This is girlish so, I can share this new oil replacement product with my girlfriend.
Oh this sounds awesome. I bet your hair feels so much healthier right after using it. I could probably benefit from using the new Pantene Oil Replacement Therapy 😀
It seems like a great product. I am so looking forward to give it a try.
Fascinated about life in India so thanks for sharing. It’s true & frustrating at times that it takes so long to get people to leave old, familiar traditions … and move forward to a better way of doing things.
I have seen this product at the store but never tried it. Definitely checking this out and see if my hair will looks great.
I haven’t seen this particular product yet. I’m not sure if my hair needs this though. Would like to give it a try.
Sounds great! ??
Thanku so much for the review… I’ll definitely buy this amazing product ❤
Oooo that looks like it would be a cool and nice treat to do for my hair once in a while! That is awesome!
Your hair is so long and pretty!! I would love to try this oil! I keep cutting my hair like a dummy! Maybe this will help it grow better!
Your hair looks so healthy! I’ve recently cut all my long hair off after seven years of no cuts. I love that you can use this product on the go, I find most leave in oils and conditioners don’t lend themselves well to working on dry hair.
Awesome tips! There so many brands of cosmetics and hair that for any one person to go through it all will take so much time. Thank you for making this detailed review.
You have such beautiful and long hair. This product seems perfect for dry hair, I will definitely try using it. Hope it helps in keeping my hair in good shape!
Your hair looks beautiful! An oil replacement therapy might work for hair as it’s very fine. I’m tempted to give Pantene a try!
I LOVE your hair I suffer from alapica, so I am soooo envious of people with thick hair
I LOVE this post, will take tips
You have beautiful hair! I’ve been looking for a hair product that could treat properly dry hair and I think I’ll give this product a try. Thank you for your honest review.
This is a great review and Pantene Oil replacement is brilliant for those with frizzy and dull hair. Will be sharing this with all my friends.
Wow! This Pantene Oil Replacement formula seems to do exactly what it says on the tube. Your hair does indeed looks lustrious and full of body and shine. I don’t have frizzy hair so don’t used oil treatments a lot maybe just twice a year.
I have heard so many good things about this one but haven’t tried it yet. I am always so lazy when it comes to oiling my hair, guess this one will be a very good fit. 🙂
I recently had my hair cut shorter than it was and they are manageable now. Yours looks lovely!
You have the most beautiful hair! Pantene has a great range of hair care products, I love them!
Your hair look great! It seems like this Pantene Oil Replacement is just what you needed. I love Pantene, they offer variety of products for any type of hair. Great review.
I agree this product of Pantene is big help on our frizzy hair, I have same problem and not so fan of putting so much oit in my hair though I hate tangle too. So ladies, with frizzy hair, this is our solution.
O h my hair is a wild untameable mane so I hear your hair woes loud and clear. Still it is great that you have found a replacement that is better than hair oil so I am glad to hear that you have found a solution to your problem.
Your hair certainly looks beautiful! I’m not sure if this products would work for me as my hair is pretty thin, very typical Scandinavian hair. I have had many treatments and it is dry but almost all stuff is too heavy.
Your hair is absolutely gorgeous! I’ll have to try this out 🙂 My hair gets really dry at the ends, probably because I go too long without trimming it.
