I love it!!! :D By LoveToBeMe0421, California January 17, 2011

I've tried many other type and brands of products to straighten out my curls, but NONE of them worked. Honestly, when I bought this cream I thought it would be a waste of my again, but to my surprise it worked so well!!! It does exact as the bottle says it does.

Love This!!! By kk, Chesterfield, MO November 8, 2010

I love this product, and at first, thought it was not as good as the first, but I think it was that I couldn't get over the new packaging! I've used other leave-in products for my curly hair, and no other compares. I don't care for the new packaging, and it is slippery when you have wet hands, but I have found nothing else I like as well.

Curly Anti-Frizz Creme: Overly Scented By Vaca Sue, Vacaville, CA January 7, 2012

This does not prevent frizz and it is way too overly scented with a cheap floral fragrance. What were they thinking?

Re: Curly Anti-Frizz Creme: Overly Scented By Macayla P. Consumer Care I'm very sorry our Curly Anti-Frizz Creme didn't work for you! You could try pairing it with our Frizzy to Smooth shampoo & conditioner, OR, our Keratin Protection Creme should really do the trick. It's one of our 5-star products! I hope you'll check it out.

Don't like new product By KC, Arlington, TX July 4, 2011

I have finally run out of the previous product I had. Second day of this new product. It's Terrible. Weighs my curls down and my hair is frizzy. PLEASE bring back the Hydrating Curls cream. It is the only product I have used that controls the frizz while allowing my curls to be soft and managable. Other products leave my hair crunchy or dry it out. Your mouse or gel do not give me the same results as the previous Hydrating Curls cream. It was the ONLY one that worked! And I have tried them ALL over the years. I have been using your products for over 5 years. Don't make me turn my back on Pantene...

Re: Don't like new product By Monika Consumer Care I'm bummed the Pantene Pro-V Curly Hair Series Anti-Frizz Straightening Crme isn't doing the job for you. If you haven't yet, you may want to try the Pantene Light Conditioning Detangler. If you try it and don't like it please call us at the number on the back of the package.

doesn't work well By disappointed May 3, 2011

i was looking for a replacement for the old soft curls & waves styling milk but this is definitely nothing like it. it doesn't help boost waves at all, it actually pulls them out quite a bit. so then i tried using it like the package said and used it as a styling aid to help straighten my hair. it did work to pull down a lot of the waves and make it straighter, but it also took out all the body and fluffiness of my hair too. it didn't add any measurable shine. i ended up returning this product.

Re: doesn't work well By Shawnna M. Consumer Care I understand it's frustrating to lose your favorite Pantene Styling Milk and I'm sharing your feedback with the rest of our team. As a replacement you may want to try the Curl Enhancing Spray Gel. Hope this helps!

Anti-Frizz Creme By Cindy, Washingtonville, NY March 1, 2011

I agree with the others. Please bring back the frizz control balm. I have had trouble with my curly hair my whole life. I finally find something that doesn't either weight my hair down or make it crunchy. It just look like naturally curly hair with no frizz.

Bring Back the Anti Frizz line! By Ex Pantene Fan, Colorado February 5, 2011

I found the Anti Frizz line about 4 years ago and have loved the shampoo, conditioner and hairspray for my natural curly hair. Then the last few trips to the store I could find just a mish mash of the usual product so I bought the last few products they had and now I see the line has been discontinued, very dissapointing and now I have to find something else through trial and error, which is not fun! Bring back the Anti Frizz line please!

new user By Belle, ohio October 1, 2010

Just bought this product this week for 6 and it's terrible. Doesn't matter how much or how little I use, it weights my hair down and makes it feel dull and dry. I bought the curly shampoo and conditioner and I can't say they are that great either. They are just ok, but the creme is gross.

do not like the change By Frizzy September 1, 2010

I am dissappointed that you got rid of my curl lotion. It worked great on my hair. it did not weight it down or get crunchy. I can't find anything in the new line like it. I now have looking at different products form other sources. Please bring back the curl lotion!!!

DISAPPOINTED!!!!! By Disappointed in Colorado, Bailey, CO August 20, 2010

Why did you change the formula! This new product is awful!!!!! I have been using the anti-frizz straightening balm for years and LOVED IT!! It was great for my naturally curly hair. PLEASE bring the old formula back!!!!! You have lost a loyal customer.

The Brains Behind the Beauty



Pantene understands that each curly hair fiber grows in a unique pattern, twisting and turning in all directions. This unpredictable pattern makes it difficult to straighten and style. The curved fibers of curly hair intersect with each other more often than any other hair type, causing friction, which can result in breakage. The curvature of the hair fiber also provides a large amount of volume in curly hair, which can be hard to tame. Pantene’s micro-smoothing crème helps you to loosen and unwind curls to prepare for straight styling. The anti-frizz crème wraps around your hair for fantastic frizz protection, giving you everything you need to create a sleek, straight look.
