For anyone who has been following my hair woes, I have yet to find a natural shampoo that cleans my crazy thick hair well enough without leaving stuff left over that weighs my hair down and leaves my scalp icky. I end up going against my very own words to live by “no parabens, no sulfates, no phthalates” and keep coming back to regular ol’ Pantene.
So when I saw that Pantene was coming out with Nature Fusion I was skeptical but a tiny bit optimistic. But of course, this is yet another “natural” scam. Not only that? It doesn’t even work as well (at least for me) as regular Pantene.
This new Nature Fusion has a few extracts, but still has sulfates, dimethicone (in the conditioner) and, presumably, phthalates since it has chemical fragrance. PLUS it even has artificial colors in it to make it a pale green. So all in all from my perception it is worse than regular Pantene.
Funny how this “article” in Brandweek just basically regurgitates Pantene’s press release without doing any digging. There is so little nature in the fusion it’s pretty ridiculous.
Back to the drawing board again. If anyone with thick hair has found a natural shampoo that works well let me know!

HI Kristen,
Have you tired WEN? It’s a shampoo and conditioner in one that is very good on my hair. I was grocery shopping and sawa woman with similar thick curly hair and asked what product she used. WEN lavander was her answer. I can give you a sample of mine if you want to give it a try.
