It’s infiltrating TikTok feeds.
When a beauty product starts popping up seemingly everywhere, it’s worth investigating—and, more often than not, it proves worthy of its hype. Pantene’s latest hair launch, a bond-repairing mist (and, dare I say, a potential dupe for pricier picks in the category) is infiltrating TikTok feeds, trickling into Slack conversations (InStyle’s associate editorial director, Zarah Kavarana, noted its ubiquity just this morning) and on virtual shelves—accompanied by rave shopper reviews, no less.
Furthermore, the Pro-Vitamin Essence Daily Repair Mist is Amazon’s number-one new release in the hair treatment category, surpassing salon favorites—including the ultra-popular K-18 Mask that Hailey Bieber, Miley Cyrus, and I swear by. I’ve yet to try Pantene’s mist, but shopper accolades—paired with my previous experience using the brand’s leave-in restoring mask, part of the same collection—have jettisoned my hopes sky-high for its latest addition.

The Pantene Pro-Vitamin Essence Daily Repair Mist is a strand-strengthening elixir that physically reinforces broken protein bonds in the hair shaft. In turn, it restores shine, fullness, and promotes healthier, longer hair growth. Initial benefits, including visible glossiness, frizz reduction, and softness, are apparent after a single use. Maximum benefits, including stronger keratin bonds, occur within as little as 10 days. Ultimately, hair becomes less breakage-prone—and, thus, more readily able to grow to its fullest potential. The formula is designed for all hair types and textures; plus, it’s color and keratin-treatment safe.
The treatment dispenses as a notably lightweight, ultra-fine mist. A few spritzes to the entire head, including the roots, mid lengths, and ends, allow the smoothing, strengthening magic to begin. Furthermore, the formula functions equally well on damp, post-shower strands, and bone-dry tresses; ergo, it’s a breeze to incorporate into any existing hair care routine. There’s no need to rinse the treatment out, either; and, thanks to its featherlightness, it’s decidedly non-greasy or weighty—even for fine hair types. I’d be remiss to skip over its scent: An expensive-smelling meld of floral and sandalwood notes, created, per the brand, by perfumers.
Shoppers—the majority of whom have given the mist a five-star rating—report stellar results and a fantastic sensorial experience. One reviewer, for example, says the mist moisturizes their dry, “very fine” mane “without weighing down [their] hair.” They reported increased softness and manageability. (Bonus: Strangers have told the shopper their hair “smells good.”) Another fan, who shampoos once per week, has been implementing the product between washes: The mist weightlessly “refreshes” their hair, which has become “noticeably smoother and softer.” Finally, another shopper, whose hair had been “falling out” prior to trying Pantene’s product, reports replenished strength and fullness within a few uses. “My hair actually has a healthy bounce to it now,” they share.
For shinier, smoother—and truly stronger—hair from the inside out, without weighty, greasy residue, shop Amazon’s number-one new release, Pantene’s Pro-Vitamin Essence Daily Repair Mist, for $34. Snag more shopper-loved strengthening solutions from Pantene, below.
