I knew the time would come after giving birth where I’d have to start washing my own hair. Of course my next concern is making sure I find and use the right product on my hair to keep up with the good condition I’ve gotten it in by washing it once a week and having it washed professionally. When Pantene asked me to team up with them to test out their new Charcoal Collection, I jumped at the chance. I’ve been wanting to try their activated charcoal shampoo and conditioner. Because when your hair feels great, it helps you feel unstoppable. And being a new mommy, I’m all about that.
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Pantene. The opinions and text are all mine.
About the Pantene Charcoal Shampoo
When you go as long as I do in between washes you can sometimes have scout boils, styling product, and dirt buildup by the time you wash your hair again. That’s where this new Pantene Charcoal Collection Shampoo comes in handy. With a Pro-V blend, activated charcoal, pro vitamin B-5 and antioxidants you’re sure to get a deep cleanse. Free of silicon, parabens and dyes, Pantene removes all dirt and impurities. How about that for fresh wash?
About the Pantene Charcoal Collection Conditioner
This is the first time I’ve seen a conditioner be silicone free, that rinses out quickly all the while providing lots of shine. This activated charcoal conditioner is lightweight, which you know and have heard me talk about in the past. This is important if you want to do like I do and wash your hair once or twice a week.
Since being home from the hospital I’ve washed my hair several times and love how it turned out so much I had to share with you guys in a blog post. Not only will you love the way it smells but you’ll love the way your hair feels as well. After stroking and feeling Navy’s fresh baby hair I have new goals. Healthier hair like my daughter.
If you decide to try this shampoo and conditioner, let me know what you think. I’m very interested in knowing what you all think about the new Charcoal Collection S/C from Pantene.

Hey! You mentioned that it’s paraben free, silicon and dyes(which is awesome!) but what about sulfate? I have the Brazilian blow out and need a sulfate free shampoo to make it last. Don’t you have that or keratin treatment too? I currently use the drybar charcoal one…
AshLee Frazier says
I have the Japanese treatment on my hair and this has been working just fine for me.
Ccr28 says
What is a scout boil??!!
Krystal Althoff says
I cannot wait to try this shampoo and conditioner! Thank you for sharing!!!
Kayla says
I’ve been using their expert line. Where can I get this one besides online? I’ve been impressed with the expert line this far.
Efrat says
Does the charcoal have an effect on the smell of the shampoo and or conditioner?
AshLee Frazier says
Not at all.
Dana says
Actually this has an amazing smell. I highly recommend
Debi Bruno says
I bought both of the Pantene Charcoals after seeing your instagrams stories, I really love the smell of them and also the feel of my hair. Thank you for telling me about this product!
Diana Lynn says
Can’t wait to try this out!
Jaclyn says
There’s just no better feeling in the world than having someone else wash your hair! It’s the little things in life. Definitely going to be trying this Pantene line soon!
Jennifer says
That’s some “giveaway”! Extremely generous ☺️
Emily Dresbach says
I love this topic! I have been looking for a quality shampoo and conditioner that is not harsh on my super thin/silky hair (that also doesn’t break the bank #collegebudget) Do you think this will still work as well if I’m washing my hair 3-4 times a week?
AshLee Frazier says
Maybe every other time would be better…or use a deep conditioner.
LeighAnn Standridge says
I love products that contain charcoal! When anyone gets a stomach bug, I even digest it! Saves me every time!!
Katie Nelson says
I’m having issues with my hair being very snarly and quick to become tangled. Some days despite using a good amount of conditioner, it’s as if I can’t get the tangles out. I’ll brush it but every time I brush it it becomes more tangled. I’ve tried using different deep conditioners but doesn’t seem to help much. Any suggestions?
AshLee Frazier says
I have a brush for that. Stay tuned to my stories…it’s my beauty find I’m going to share ASAP!! It’s a miracle brush.
Cassie says
Following. Have you posted about this brush for tangled hair?
AshLee Frazier says
Not yet! I’m waiting to see if I can get a discount code! I’ll reach back out to them today and see what they say. I want to share it so badly. I love this brush.
Angela says
I love the Pantene shampoos! Don’t they make your hair smell amazing? 😍
AshLee Frazier says
Yes. I love that about it too.
Bekah says
I’ll have to try this. Sounds great!
Lindsey says
Love your hair tips! Pantene on my list!
Katie G. says
Thanks for the recc. I’ll def be on the lookout for this next time I’m at the store. I haven’t used Pantene in a while, but have always liked the way it made my hair feel and smell.
Lisa C says
My hair has been feeling super dry lately! Going to try this next time I need shampoo and conditioner!
AshLee Frazier says
You may want to add a deep conditioner too! Since this Pantene will strip all the impurities, I’d use a deep conditioner after. Extra softness!
Maggie S says
I’ve definitely gotta try this out! My hairs all sorts of crazy since my second baby and my hormones!!
Hailee Williams says
How much do you typically use? I have thick hair and it’s hard to find a good product that isn’t crazy expensive that can last me a while. I am a huge fan of charcoal!
AshLee Frazier says
I wash twice. Thanks sweetie.
Tabatha Sater says
I want to try these products on my own hair but was wondering if you recommend it for my kids hair or what you might suggest me using on their hair theirs seems to get tangled very easily even after being conditioned and brushed. It seen so within minutes it’s so tangled!! I hate to hurt their poor little heads brushing it out! Please help if you can!
AshLee Frazier says
Maybe not for kids. Only because it’s a clarifying shampoo and kids shouldn’t need all that when young. Although I’m sure it won’t hurt. Just my personal thought.
Megan Baldwin says
Totally going to try this! My hair gets so oily from buildup!
Erin says
What is the scent like?
Ashley says
I also wash my hair about once a week and when I tell people they always ask “How!?”. I have always used Pantene products but recently tried the Charcoal Collection. I love it! Makes my hair feel so clean and is definitely lightweight like you said. My only concern is that it may fade my coloured hair faster than normal, as it is not specifically designed for coloured hair (which I have). I try and use it every second or every third wash to avoid fading.
Megan says
Whenever I have used Pantene in the past I would get breakouts on my head. Do you notice that at all?
AshLee Frazier says
Oh shoot! I’ve never noticed that. Maybe there’s something in the ingredients that don’t agree with your skin. Hat when I love something and find out I can’t use it.
Supapone says
This sounds awesome I love panteen in general so I’ll have to try these out.
Ashley says
I also wash my hair about once a week and when I tell people they say “How!?”. I always use Pantene products and recently started using the Charcoal Collection. I love it! I love how clean it makes my hair feel and how lightweight it is, like you said. My only concern is it may cause my hair to fade faster as it is not specifically designed for coloured hair (which I have). I try to use it every second or third wash to avoid fading.
AshLee Frazier says
I was just about to tell you that as I was reading your comment. Because it’s a clarifying shampoo maybe use it a little less so that it doesn’t strip your hair too much. Smart!
JORdan crumbaker says
thank you so much for the recommendation – I bought some and I am loving it so far!
Ane says
Love pantene products
Blake Lazarus says
The smell!!!!!! It’s the best part. I love to see someone like you who’s knowledgeable about beauty products using Pantene.. I always thought it was a super overlooked drug store brand. Thanks AshLee!
Hilary Pickard says
Awesome information about this hair care! Thanks for sharing! I just purchased some and can’t wait to try it out! 🙌
RENATA says
I’m really excited to read about these products, and hopefully get my hands on them soon! You hear so much these days about “charcoal” products for the face/body and such…but this is Wonderful that it’s for the hair. I do have oily hair, and need to wash my hair every day, but since it’s free of silicon, parabens and dyes, I think I could use it every day? Thanks for your info on these products, AshLee!
