I've used Pantene R&N's regular conditioner and was not impressed. I haven't used the ORS replenishing pack but a bunch of their other products (including the ORS hair mayo) and have been very impressed. ORS over Pantene, any day.

I voted ORS. Pantene was just "ehh" for me.

I don't think the Pantene R&N conditioner is a protein, either. That's probably why my hair didn't respond to it...

Pantene mask has aminos in it. It's definitely moisturizing and I love it. I've not tried the ORS.

I use both as moisturizing DCs, although i think ORS is a light protein. I like Pantene just because it smells better, but it can work TOO well sometimes and leave me with mushy hair. But now that ORS comes in the huge salon sized bottle, i've been using it more. Plus it's harder to find the Pantene mask in drugstores.

I was gonna say I kinda thought ORS replenishing was somewhat a moisturizing conditioner. Atleast thats what I've been using it as. Uh-oh, cause I use Mega-tek or Joico K-pak right before I use that, thinking it was moisturizing conditioner to keep my moisture/protein balance on track. I haven't experiened any problems with doing this.....
I've never used Pantene so I can't comment on that.....

Id have to say Pantene. It really softened my hair. The ORS doesn't compare really. I am speaking as far as condtioning goes because apparently they are two different kinds of condish.
ORS is ok though. It's jus when I use it I don't notice anything spectacular. But Pantene I could immediatly feel the softness.
I thought I was hearing PR&N was hard to find but I see it all the time in wal mart and Walgreens. Must just be certain areas.

Where are you all finding the mask at?? I have one jar left and I haven't found anymore.

I read somewhere that Pantene is a protein conditioner. Oops! I guess that's not correct. I've seen plenty at Walmart, Target, and drug stores in Los Angeles. Sometimes they have a few jars left; then the next few weeks, the shelves have more. The price is $4.69 to $4.99.
If products are being discontinued (as I heard early last year), I wouldn't know it because they're easy to find in Los Angeles. That's why I don't exclude them from my discussion threads. I stocked up for nothing on the Cream of Nature (detangling/moisturizing) shampoo, because my stylist prefers to use it on my hair. I hope they don't go bad on me. I have ten 32 ounce bottles, and there's still a lot in the stores left including the red and blue labels. That's also true for Soft Sheen Carson Breakthru shampoo.

Pantene Relaxed & Natural Breakage Defense Mask works great for my hair. I used the ORS Replenishing Pak once and it did not do anything for my hair.

I like Pantene mask, it leaves my hair more moisturized than ORS.

As far as Pantene being discontinued, we're pretty much 
... I think there's a super thread out there if anyone's interested in looking.
In my area, drugstores don't carry the R&N mask and BSS's bumped up the price to $10 per jar. Sometimes I'm willing to take accessibility over quality.

I havent tried Pantene, but ORS gets my vote. I notice my hair feels so much better after I DC with it.
...for that I use AO GBP.
