Pantene Charcoal Shampoo | Pantene Charcoal Conditioner | Photography by: Angie Garcia | Sponsored by Pantene, All Opinions are My Own
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Pantene. The opinions and text are all mine.
We scrub our bodies. We mask our faces with peel-off charcoal. We even juice with charcoal lemonade to “deep clean” our bodies. But all these systems have a built-in purification system. Your body cleanses itself and your skin purifies itself. But your scalp? Did you know your scalp doesn’t?!
When I learned that fun fact about 2 months ago, I cringed a little. I only wash my hair two or three times a week as I have more textured hair, and if I washed every single day- well, it would be dry-hair city over here. The dry shampoo build up, the product residue, the pollution, the oils….no wonder we spend so much of our beauty routine trying to avoid bad hair days.
I went on a detox shampoo “journey” if you will, to find a shampoo I could use once or twice a week that would deep clean. I double cleanse, scrub, and mask my face- so I figured my scalp needed the same amount of TLC. I tried and bought expensive clarifying shampoos, pricy scalp scrubs, and then one Amazon gem- the Pantene Charcoal Collection. Your wallet will be thrilled to know my favorite and I’m thrilled to partner with Pantene to share my thoughts with you all today.
If you are all about beauty trends {which I have a hunch you probably are if you are reading COF} you know Charcoal is queen as of late. From the peel-off mask challenges you see on Facebook to activated charcoal for teeth whitening, it’s everywhere- and for good reason. Charcoal is a natural purifier, but it is gentle. A few of the more expensive clarifying shampoos I tried left my hair feeling stripped, and they weren’t for color treated hair. I got a little nervous I’d be affecting my highlights. But the cool thing about the Pantene Charcoal Collection is that it is silicone-free, paraben-free, dye-free and is totally safe for your color-treated hair. The activated charcoal attracts all your dirt and grime {aka, your 4th round of dry shampoo} like a magnet, gently releasing it all from your scalp. When it does this, it releases pro-vitamin B5 and antioxidants and so your hair is left cleaner, shinier, and softer.
But let’s talk about my favorite part. And this my fellow blondes, is the reason I nearly jumped out of my seat to partner on this post. Using this postponed my next hair appointment.
If you struggle with fighting brassy tones, chances are you are going in for “toning appointments” with your stylist and researching shampoos that keep brass at bay. A lot of times, brass can come from mineral build-up on your hair, along with parabens, silicones, and pollution. Consider finding a good place selling pine tar shampoo as an alternative solution for maintaining hair health, as it may offer natural benefits for your scalp and hair.
By using this product at least once or twice a week, I found my current blonde melt {which shows brass so quickly!} stayed cool toned. I canceled my September 7th appointment and don’t think I’ll need to go in until the beginning of October.
And even if you aren’t blonde and you don’t religiously use dry shampoo, you will love this with an oily scalp. Paul has a more oily scalp than I do, and this product helps balance your scalp- which can help with less washes in the future.
I’m also really excited to share a promotion Amazon are running until October 31. Click here, use the promo code “20PNTCHAR” to receive 20% off the Charcoal Collection Shampoo and Conditioner bundle when purchased together. On your next drugstore run, try this detox for your scalp! Let me know what you think! P.S. the smell. Smells like a Kate Middleton. Or at least what I imagine she smells like?!
I’ve never thought of exfoliating my scalp, but it makes a lot of sense. It’s true that we pay attention to our faces but always seem to miss our heads. Thank you for the reminder! 🙂

Katey, these photos with your little one are absolutely ADORABLE!! I really loved this post <3
Thank you so much, April! I truly appreciate your sweet words! xo, Katey
I will definitely be trying this! I also like to do a scalp scrub like once a month or whenever needed and it’s so simple I just mix sugar and coconut oil and light scrub it on my scalp in the shower and my scalp and hair feel so much better!! It’s an easy and cheap DIY. ?
Totally trying this!! That sounds MUCH better than the expensive one I bought! xo, Katey
I don’t, but need to start! <3

I didn’t even think about dry shampoo buildup…yikes! Thanks for sharing this!!!!
Totally need to try! Hopeful it will help extend time between washes!
Eek! I have been wanting to try this, but so afraid it would strip my color!!! Thanks for the rec- will be purchasing stat!
In desperate need of a good shampoo to cleanse my hair of product build up! Thanks for the recommendation I will definitely be trying!!
Yaaaaaas need to try!
I’m going to definitely have to purchase this! Truly enjoy reading your post! I didn’t think that taking care of your hair scalp would be as important too.
I’ve been looking for a good detoxifying shampoo/conditioner!! I’ve used Lush’s in the past and loved it, but it was a little expensive for my liking 🙂 I’m hoping this will be a better alternative! Thanks girl!
I would love to try this out. I have been all about the “charcoal to clean everything” phase lately, and with my forever oily scalp this sounds amazing! Xoxo
I’d love this give this collection a try… I’m always looking for shampoos / conditioners for a deep clean feel / look..
I think this would be an awesome product to try!! I am always looking for new & affordable things to add to my routine. Love!! Thanks for sharing.
Love this, and boy do I need a deep clean of summer 2018! I had a blast but my hair needs a deep clean fast! Xoxo
I have tried the Bumble and Bumble scalp detox treatment foam but it is sort of hard to get all over the scalp. This is an interesting alternative to try and a lot less expensive!
I have been trying to find something strong enough to get all of the dry shampoo, texture spray and hair spray out of my hair! Ahhh thank you!
You have hair goals!! I can’t wait to try this out. I wash my hair about twice a week and have been looking for the right shampoo for what feels like forever. I’m hopeful that this will be it!
Such a cute shoot! Can’t wait to give these a try ?
I’ve been wanting to find a good detox shampoo for my hair that doesn’t dry it out. I always have to be so careful because I bleach so much to maintain my blonde. Thanks for sharing. Definitely planning on trying!
I love this color on you!! And Maxi gets all the heart eyes ???.
Thank you for doing some of the leg work for us when it comes to R&D!! I’m definitely going to try this!! On day 5 har over here?♀️?
I need to try this!!!!
I’ve been needing a product like this and could never find one that I liked! Thanks for the review?
As a busy mom of two, I love dry shampoo, but hate the build up. I’ve had lots of hair loss and I think the build up keeps my new hairs from growing. I think I definitely need to try these products! Thank you for the review and recommendation!
Ohh this looks amazing. Both my daughter and I use a lot of dry shampoo. We could definitely use something like this. Thanks for positing about it.
I am a dry shampoo lover! However, I never thought about needing to really deep clean your scalp! Very interesting! I’ll be looking into this product! Thank you!!
I have seen this product at target and been so interested to try!!! Glad to hear it works so well, I’ll have to get it now!
Here from Insta stories! Well, I was here when you first posted this, too 🙂 But I would love to try this out! I use dry shampoo more than I probs should.. lol
I’ve been looking for a good purifying shampoo for a long time! I need to try this!
I’ve been looking for a good drugstore shampoo and conditioner. I can’t wait to try this! Thank you for sharing!
This was so educational. I picked some up at Kroger while I was grocery shopping and loved it. Thanks for the recommendation! I already can’t wait to use it again.
Never ever would imagined that I would our scalps need intense cleaning, I will definitely have to try this. The brassiness prevention and dry shampoo hold up sold me!
My daughter and I so need this set! Can’t wait to try them.
Been looking for a detox shampoo! ?
Wow I have never thought about this before and I don’t know how!! I have a super oily scalp and would love to try this out so I can hopefully go longer between washes! Thanks for sharing – I love all your posts and the tips you give 🙂
xoxo,

I am so intrigued by the thought of cleaning my hair & scalp with charcoal! And the bottles look pretty too. *bonus*
Thanks for the review! I would love to try this ?
You had me at smells like Kate Middleton? I need to try this!
You have me seriously wanting to give this stuff a try! I just restocked on my shampoo/conditioner so I’ll have to wait, but thanks for the info Katey!
Nurse here! ? i am a religious user of dry shampoo- because who has time to wash their hair between 12 hr long shift?! I have been looking for a good clarifying shampoo that won’t leave my hair dry and is safe for my color treated blonde hair! I’m excited to give this a try! As always thanks for the great recommendation!
This stuff sounds amazing. I need to try these products because I’m a person who uses lots of styling products. Also I have color treated hair and want to protect it.
Yay! I’m in need of more shampoo and conditioner. I tried your last recommendation (the NatureLab) and I did like it but I’m excited to see the benefits of this set! Maybe I can postpone my next appointment, too! ❤
I can’t wait to try this. Been SEARCHING for something to cleanse my scalp. I love my curly hair, but all of that product can cause some serious buildup! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
I’ve never thought about taking better care of my scalp! Looks like I’ll need to add this to my amazon cart! Thanks for the tip Katey!
P.S. Maxi’s pony tail is the cutest!!
I’m going to have to try this one!! I love the micellar variety that Pantene does too. 🙂
Need to try this considering I use dry shampoo almost daily ?
Your hair is always fabulous!!
Ah I want to try this! Wishing it came in smaller sizes because I’m not sure how frequently I would use it because I wouldn’t want to strip out too many oils!
I never thought of dry shampoo build up…thanks for this post. Can’t wait to try this!!
Wow, didn’t even think about needing a product like this! Thanks for all the info ?
The amount of dry shampoo that I go through is a little concerning. This sounds like an absolute life saver!
So funny that you just posted this! I’ve been struggling with buildup on my scalp and it makes me feel so gross! I’ve been on the hunt for something like this and now I’m sold! Thank you so so much for sharing!!
Ha! I love that it “smells like Kate Middleton! ??
Excited to try this!! <3
I’m SO excited to try this!! I usually only wash my hair a couple of times a week and deal with build up. I’ve had a hard time finding a product that will help get rid of product but also not dry it out. I also had just told my stylist I was going to give up on ashy tones cause it turns bassy so quickly. And it’s affordable! Yay!
The struggle to find a good detox shampoo is REAL! I have tried so many and never have found one that I truly love. I’ll have to give this one a try for sure!
I can’t wait to try these!! Thanks for always testing stuff so we don’t have to. Xoxo
Katey,
I have been regilously reading your blog for a long time now!! Love your content ❤️ I would love to try the shampoo and conditioner combo for the product build up on my hair!!
Hugs to you and sweet Maxi

I’m wondering if this would help with my itchy scalp. No dandruff just an itch. I currently use the Paul Mitchell Special Shampoo and Conditioner. Thanks for sharing!
Ooh! I eyed this at Target the other day & was so curious! What a great invention for the girls who live off dry shampoo and caffeine (aka me!) ha! I’d love to try this!
Wow I use dry shampoo like nobody’s business but have never thought about detoxing my scalp!! Definitely would love to try this?
Definitely need to try this!
Love this post! Have been looking for affordable products to deep clean my scalp! I related to everything you said – I am a religious user of dry shampoo with color treated blonde hair! My hair always turns a little brassy after too many washes. Thank you!
You’re so cute! Thank you for the recommendation!!
I would love to try this!!
I’d love to try this!
I’ve honestly never thought about deep cleaning your scalp, but this makes so much sense! I also love that this is an affordable product that really works, thank you for sharing with us!
Oh wow! Kind of makes my skin crawl. Thanks for sharing! I am a huge charcoal fan myself. I can’t wait to try the product. Thanks!
Hi Katey,
When using dry shampoo constantly, do you feel like your scalp gets irritated or itchy ever? If so, did you feel like this helped because of the detox? I’d love to try this!
Thank you!
Carolina
Yes!! It gets so irritated and this helped a lot with that! I think because you just keep scratching the build-up of product! xx, Katey
Thanks for the suggestion!
Would love to win this collection to try out! 🙂
I have used this brand for years! Love it!!! Love this honest review! Xoxo
I have been using the Drybar in the rocks. I will have to give this a try because the price is ??Thanks for the recommendation!
This is the best thing I’ve read all weekend! It sounds like an amazing product! I too only wash 1-2 times per week. I have reallly dry hair and a toddler ? But then when you said it fights brassiness ?? What blonde wouldn’t love that. As always thanks for sharing with us! I always can’t wait for a blog post. ?
Can’t wait to try it ??
Thanks for this. I only wash my hair once maybe twice (it I’m lucky) every week simply because it takes too long to dry and style. So this will be great to try.
Can’t wait to try this!! Definitely needing a hair detox soon! 🙂
Excited to try this! Thanks so much for the tip!
I am from the Rio Grande Valley, where it is a million degrees. My hair is thick and luscious and I’m all about a ‘big hair don’t care moment” BUT that combo IS NOT A GOOD COMBO FOR MY SCALP IN THE SUMMER!! I am SO excited to try this charcoal “facial” for my hair!
I have been looking for a shampoo to get rid on dry shampoo buildup, nothing does the job well. Will have to try this, thanks for sharing!
Super excited to read about this product! I’ve been on the hunt for a detox shampoo and conditioner for a while now and am looking forward to trying these out and love that they’re budget friendly!
I can’t wait to try this !!
Ahhh sitting here with a week of unwashed hair and how I wish my fairy god mother would show up with this on my door step!!
I would love to try this! I have similar hair to yours and would love to see if I get the same results. Always looking for cheaper alternatives to the products I use.
I can’t wait to try! My hair has needed some serious TLC! Also, Maxi is just too stinking cute! ?
I can’t wait to try this! Every once in a while I feel like I really need a deep clean to get rid of all that buildup of products and dry shampoo. You had me sold at “smells like Kate Middleton” lol ?
Can’t wait to try this!
I’ve recently been struggling with dry scalp for the first time ever! I’ve been trying to research products but it’s an area I’m just not well versed in. Super excited to try this! Thanks for sharing! Xoxo
Blonde hair maintenance is no joke! Thank you for always seeking out new remedies for your girl gang to follow!
This sounds amazing!! You had me at less brassy roots and keeping my blonde looking “cool” longer. Looks like I may have to add these into the mix of my purple shampoos/conditioners. Sounds like a great way to purge out all of my mommy dry shampoo. Gorge photos as always!
I didn’t know I needed this until reading your post! Thanks for the best recs always!
Definitely going to be trying this!
Definitely need to try these! Sometimes the dry shampoo buildup is real..
Such an adorable photo shoot!! ? I use dry shampoo all the time and never thought that my scalp would need a detox! I need to try these products!!
Loved this blog post! I can’t wait to try this!
Didnt know pantene had this line!! Excited to try
Okay so for a girl that literally owns like 2 hair products, if you could recommend just one product that every girl must have, what would it be? Same question for skincare! Because i want to be better about taking care of my skin too but my wallet can’t afford to buy all the things!!!
Hi love! What kind of hair do you have? And for skincare, I would say TULA Purifying Cleanser and their day/night cream! xo, Katey
Can’t wait to try this! I use dry shampoo so often. So I have been looking for something like this for a while. Thanks for the recommendation ?
I have been on the look out for a new shampoo and conditioner so I will have to try these for sure! I have highlighted hair and it definitely has been feeling a little dry and brittle lately I need something to help it out! Love following your blog and appreciate all your informative posts!!!!:)
Katey thank you for this post, I’ve been looking for something like this leading up to my wedding but the ones I’ve tried felt like they stripped my hair like you said! I will definitely be trying this combo!! Xoxo
Yes please!!!!!
Dying to try this shampoo on my oily dull postpartum hair!
Ahh I need to try this! All of a sudden my scalp is BREAKING OUT?!? Didn’t even know this happened. But for some reason I’m getting little pimples in my hair line and around my crown. I need to see if maybe this can help clear it out! Love you and your blog!
Yay! Thanks so much for the recommendation would love to try this out!!
Richelle
I’ve always wanted to try this product! I never really thought about build up on my scalp. I love Pantene products and this deal on amazon is awesome!!
Would love to try this shampoo and conditioner! I use a ton of dry shampoo during the week since I only wash my hair once or twice a week. I’ve been using a bumble and bumble clarifying shampoo, but would love to find a cheaper option. Thanks for the review!
I’ve been using charcoal to whiten my teeth and have been amazed st the results! I can’t wait to try a hair product with charcoal as well. Thanks for the recommendation! Your hair always looks fabulous 🙂
Sounds like an great product loved reading the post! ?
Would love to try ??
Thank you for sharing this product. I have been looking for something that will remove product but not kill my faux blonde hair!!
I’ve tried so many detox shampoos for product buildup but looking forward to trying this affordable one! The ones I’ve tried cost a pretty penny 🙂
Love the packaging. There’s nothing better than how good your hair looks after getting rid of the build up. Looking forward to trying
I absolutely need to be deep cleaning and detoxing my scalp, but I’m not! Love the idea of this and need to try it. Love the pics of you and Maxi!!!!!
I need to try this shampoo and conditioner!! It’s amazing how much buildup you get on your scalp!
I am always lookign for products to keep my blonde longer! I will give this a try! Thanks!
I’m the captain of Team Dry Shamp. So I definitely need to give this a whirl! And it’s so true, I detox and exfoliate weekly, but never thought to do my scalp!
This sounds like a must try! It’s so hard to find a product to truly get all the “gunk” out. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for sharing. As a new mom, dry shampoo has become my go to product and the build up is real. My scalp could definetly use a detox.
Okay, so once I read this post I HAD to have this. I have been researching charcoal shampoos forever and have been waiting to take the plunge. I went out and bought some this weekend and am already obsessed. And my wallet DEFINITELY thanked me. When I saw the prince in the store, I was literally shocked. Thanks for recommending such an AWESOME product Katey.
Can’t wait to try this! I was just telling my daughter this morning that we needed to try and find a good detox shampoo:)
Need ?
GIRL, I have been SEARCHINGGGG high and low for a deep cleaner!! Thanks for sharing!
You had me at “Using this postponed my next hair appointment.” How I loathe paying for a color appointment just because of the brassy tones! I’ve tried just about every purple shampoo under the sun and it still doesn’t hold up. Anxious to try this!
I love your hair! ? This shoot is so glam!
So excited to try an affordable shampoo!! Thank you!! 🙂
This is exactly something I’ve been looking for! Thanks for the recommendation! 🙂
Hi Katey!
Do you mind if i ask where that ADORABLE robe is from?!
Thx 🙂
Hi love! It is from Nordstrom! xo, Katey
