At its core, my research program takes cultural studies approaches to theorize and narrate the interface between race, culture, knowledge, and state power.
Most central to this program is my first book, A Shadow over Palestine: The Imperial Life of Race in America (University of Minnesota Press, 2015). Here I analyze a broad archive of texts that have mediated and repeatedly contested the entanglement between the post-civil rights United States and Israel's post-1967 occupation of Palestinian territory. Taking a transnational approach to this entanglement, the book theorizes and historicizes the mutual constitution of U.S. and Israeli national exceptionalisms and the cultural politics of relation that contested these connections across U.S., North African, and West Asian geographies. It demonstrates how, through novels, poems, memoirs, letters, posters, speeches, performances, and policy prescriptions, heated transnational debates about the meaning and function of genocide, human rights, and decolonization were central to addressing purportedly "domestic" U.S. concerns around race, national belonging, and social justice. In advancing this argument, A Shadow over Palestine tracks processes of comparative racialization (of Arabs, Muslims, Palestinians, "terrorism," Whiteness, Jews, and African Americans) that were both routed through and interrupted by imaginative geographies incommensurate with the nation-state.
I am also pursuing numerous related research projects. One is "Patterns of Life: Raciality, Visuality, Global War," which analyzes the post-1980 interface between the racial and the visual. It investigates how visuality structures practices of surveillance, bordering, and incarceration that inform perceptions of threat and modalities of incapacitation. It turns specifically to contemporary popular narrative cinema and television; new media infographics, data visualization, and viral digital campaigns; posters, graffiti, and other forms of public art; and textual documentation produced through FOIA releases, WikiLeaks, and investigative journalism.
In a collaboration with several scholars across the United States, I am theorizing the "race/religion/war" nexus as it has been forged transnationally. We ask how race and religion are used to establish war as a strategy of political power, and conversely how the uses of war stabilize the epistemologies of race and religion as intimately linked organizing categories of social life.
In collaboration with scholars in New Media and Performance, I am working on an edited book project, currently titled "#identity: Twitter and Difference," which examines how people express, perform and define difference on Twitter, and how Twitter as a platform articulates, mediates, and reproduces understandings of difference and diversity.
With several scholars in Public Health fields, I have begun investigating the interface of race, biology, and health in both its historical and contemporary manifestations.
In addition to my full-time appointment in Ethnic Studies, I am also a core faculty member in the Designated Emphasis in Critical Theory, an associate in the Center for Middle East Studies, an affiliated faculty member in the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender and Sexuality, and a PI for the Carceral Geographies Undergraduate Course Thread.

I have an almost 3 year old daughter, and we bought a Graco carseat in 2009. We borrowed out the car seat to a nephew and decided that for baby number #2, due in January that we would upgrade the infant car seat. Now we would like to find a safe car seat that will fit on our 2009 Revolution Bob stroller. Our almost 3 year old daughter is in a Britax Marathon convertiable car seat, that we absolutely love. We are not sure about going back to the graco car seat and not really sure if any other car seats will work with our stroller. I don't want to replace the stoller because it is in excellent condition and was expensive. Any one have any suggestions on what a good infant car seat option would be. Thanks :)

They have an adaptor for Chicco seats, which are great for tiny newborns and have seatbelt lock off. But if it were me, I would probably just use the Graco I had, and save $ for a convertible seat to use down the road.

Your little boy is about to turn a year older soon and you want to make sure that he gets the best birthday party ever. You toss around so many ideas with your husband, and finally agree on a Spider-man theme because he is your son's favorite super hero, for now at least.
To prepare for your son's birthday party, you have to find shops that sell spiderman party supplies. Lucky for you there are many places that sells them.
Before buying any party supplies make sure that you are 100% sure that this is the party theme you want to go with. You wouldn't want to buy a ton of stuff only to change your mind later on. Consult with the birthday boy if possible. Once you are sure about the theme, go nuts and buy the party supplies.
The colors of Spiderman party supplies are predominantly blue and red. Incorporate these colors to your party by adding blue and red balloons and table cloths. Some party suppliers even have balloons that already have Spiderman webs drawn on the balloons.
Another great party idea for your party is to serve food designed with the face of Spiderman, Spiderman's web and a black spider. You can even add edible pictures of the villains like Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus and other exciting characters in Spiderman.
Guests could take home a piece of the Spiderman when you include Spiderman themed items in your loot bag. Add a few pens and notepads with Spiderman's photo in front. If you are feeling extravagant, add a Spiderman action figure in each loot bag.

The present invention relates to gearboxes for motor vehicles.
It is known that some of the vehicles on the market today are equipped with "manual" gearboxes, and others are equipped with "automatic" gearboxes.
In a manual gearbox, the gear ratio engaged is chosen unambiguously by the driver, by means of a suitable lever, and the gears are selected or changed mechanically and directly by the lever.
Conversely, in an automatic gearbox, the driver has access, via a lever, only to a choice of a forward drive mode (low gear or high gear), a reverse drive mode, or a disengaged or neutral position (also referred to as "park"). On this basis, a module automatically moves the gearbox through both directions in which the gear ratios change, i.e. going both up through the gear ratios and down through them, without the driver being able to impose a precise choice of gear.
Automatic gearboxes are quite well accepted by certain drivers. However, they are not universally liked. In particular, they are not very well accepted in Latin countries.
In recent years, some companies have proposed vehicles equipped with "semi-automatic" gearboxes.
Accompanying FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the overall structure of such a conventional semi-automatic gearbox system.
Such a system includes a conventional gearbox 10 provided with actuators 20, which are generally fluid-driven servo-controlled actuators, suitable for acting on the gearbox 10 to change gears on the basis of instructions issued by a control assembly 30. The control assembly 30 comprises a manually-actuated control lever 32 and control transducers 34 that respond to the control lever 32 being displaced by defining gear change instructions. The control assembly 30 is associated with an electronic module 40 which receives the above-mentioned change instructions generated by the control transducers 34. The electronic module 40 controls the actuators 20 associated with the gearbox 10. In addition, the electronic module 40 is generally connected to sensors, e.g. a vehicle speed sensor 50, so that the electronic module 40 controls execution by the actuators 20 of the change instructions issued by the control assembly 30 as a function of the speed of the vehicle. For this purpose, the electronic module 40 applies instructions output by the control assembly 30 to the actuators 20 only if said instructions are compatible with the operating conditions of the vehicle.
The driver thus remains in control of choosing which gear ratio is engaged, because the driver acts on the lever 32 to request a change of gear (going up through the gears or going down through them, or else a change to reverse gear). However, the electronic module 40 oversees the system as a whole, and it authorizes a gear change only if the operating conditions of the vehicle are compatible with the change.
Such semi-automatic gearbox systems offer numerous advantages over other prior systems:
they make driving more comfortable;
they make it possible to omit the clutch pedal, as with an automatic gearbox;
they make it possible to change gear without taking the foot off the accelerator, when provision is made to integrate the gearbox system into the engine control system;
they can be implemented at an intermediate cost between the cost of a manual gearbox and the cost of an automatic gearbox;
they fully maintain the pleasure of driving;
they make it possible to improve fuel consumption, power, and engine wear as compared with manual gearboxes;
they extend the life-spans of the various members;
they improve driving safety as compared with manual gearboxes; and
they are compatible with conventional manual gearboxes.
Document EP-A-0 584 984 describes a control device for an automatic or semi-automatic motor vehicle gearbox in which a predetermined gear ratio for starting is engaged automatically if the speed of the vehicle is lower than a given value.
However, in spite of all those advantages, semi-automatic gearbox systems have not been as commercially successful as expected.
An object of the present invention is to improve semi-automatic gearbox systems.
In a first aspect, the object is achieved by the present invention by means of a semi-automatic gearbox system, characterized by the fact that it includes means suitable for causing first gear to be engaged automatically when the system detects that the vehicle has stopped, with the engine running, and with a gear ratio other than neutral or than reverse.
In a second aspect, the object is achieved by the present invention by means of a semi-automatic gearbox system, characterized by the fact that it includes means suitable for controlling an automatic operating mode for changing gear ratios in the gearbox.
In a third aspect, the object is achieved by the present invention by means of a semi-automatic gearbox system, characterized by the fact that it includes means suitable for managing and detecting a low-grip mode in which the vehicle wheels are gripping poorly, and for responding to such a detection by imposing management suitable for minimizing variations in the engine torque transmitted to the wheels.
Other characteristics, objects, and advantages of the present invention appear on reading the following detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings which are given by way of non limiting example and in which:
FIG. 1 (described above) is a block diagram of a prior art semi-automatic gearbox system;
FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic view of a system of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a system of the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing how the present invention operates in automatic mode;
FIG. 5 is an example of a chart for automatic mode operation; and
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing how the clutch is controlled.
Accompanying FIG. 2 gives an overall view of the semi-automatic gearbox system of the present invention, which mainly comprises:
an internal combustion engine 110;
a manual gearbox 100;
two actuators 200 and 202 placed on the casing of the gearbox 100 respectively for engaging/disengaging gear ratios and for selecting gear ratios;
an additional actuator 204 associated with the clutching/declutching system so as to control it;
a control assembly 300 which comprises a manually-actuated control lever 320 and control transducers 340 that respond to the control lever 320 being displaced by defining gear change instructions; and
an electronic module 400 which receives the above-mentioned change instructions generated by the control transducers 340, and which controls the actuators 200, 202, and 204 associated with the gearbox 100 and with the clutch, via a hydraulic control unit 210.
The electronic module 400 may be connected merely to a sensor 120 for sensing the revolutions of the engine of the vehicle so that the electronic module 400 controls execution by the actuators 200, 202, and 204 of the gear change instructions issued by the control assembly 300 as a function of the engine speed.
However, the electronic module 400 is preferably also connected directly to the computer 500 for managing the engine.
The module 400 can thus take advantage of the information available on the computer 500 (in particular the instantaneous engine torque, engine speed, i.e. engine revolutions, and revolutions at the outlet of the gearbox), and it can also control the computer to manage the engine torque, e.g. by acting on the air intake throttle 510 or on the injection control. In particular while changing gear, the module 400 controls the computer 500 so that it manages the engine revolutions or the torque delivered by the engine so as to avoid jolts or juddering during gear changes.
The co-operation between the module 400 and the computer 500 preferably controls each gear change in the form of a sequence of four steps as follows:
1) in a first step, the module 400 requests the computer 500 to reduce the torque delivered by the engine, and then causes declutching to take place;
2) in a second step, the module 400 disengages the previously implemented gear ratio;
3) in a third step, the module 400 causes the newly selected gear ratio to be selected, synchronized, and engaged (in gearboxes with no synchromesh, the gear ratio is engaged only once the primary shaft of the gearbox has reached the required revolutions); and
4) in a fourth step, the module 400 requests the computer 500 to re-establish engine torque and causes the clutch to be engaged.
Accompanying FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the system in more detail.
In addition to the elements described above with reference to FIG. 2, FIG. 3 shows the following elements:
a display 410 associated with the module 400 for displaying the engaged gear to the driver;
an accelerator pedal 520 associated with a position sensor 522 connected to the module 400 and to the computer 500;
a hydraulic power unit 212 associated with oil pressure/level sensors 214 connected to the module 400, and electrically driven control valves 216 which are controlled by the module 400 and which control the actuators 200, 202, and 204;
position sensors 206 associated with the actuators 200, 204, and 206, and connected to the module 400 to monitor the real positions of the actuators;
rotation sensors 102 placed at the inlet and at the outlet of the gearbox 100, and connected to the module 400; and
interface means 530 placed between the computer 500 and the engine 110 to transform the electrical output from the computer 500 into a command for setting the air intake control flap (throttle).
Overall operation of the above-described system is as follows.
When actuated by the driver, the gear lever 320 transmits the driver's request to the computer 400 via the sensors 340. After analyzing the legitimacy of the driver's request, the module 400 proceeds to change gear as requested.
The module 400 controls the electrically driven clutching, selection, and engagement control valves 216, and establishes dialog with the engine control computer 500 so as to manage the engine torque and the engine speed appropriately during the gear change.
The commands are confirmed by the position sensors 206 on the actuators 200, 202, and 204, and by the sensors 102 and 120 for sensing the engine revolutions, and the revolutions at the inlet and at the outlet of the gearbox 100.
The absolute gear ratio engaged in the gearbox 100 is displayed on the display 410.
Three important additional characteristics of the present invention are specified below.
According to a first of the additional characteristics of the invention, the module 400 is provided with means 420 suitable for controlling an automatic operating mode for changing gear in the gearbox 100. When these means 420 are activated, the gear changes are initiated and triggered by the module 400 itself, and not by the driver.
For this purpose, the means 420 preferably include a memory that stores the information required to change gear, in particular the charts of the gear changes as a function of the position of the accelerator pedal 520, of the engine speed, and of the vehicle speed.
The quality of gear changing in this automatic operating mode takes into account the fact that the system acts on a conventional manual gearbox with discrete gear ratios.
Accompanying FIG. 5 shows a non-limiting example of a chart, contained in the means 420, of gear ratio changes as a function of the position of the accelerator pedal 520, of the engine speed, and of the vehicle speed. In FIG. 5, the gear change curves are drawn in thick lines, whereas the gear ratio curves are drawn in fine lines.
When the system is placed in automatic operating mode, gears are changed automatically by using the charts shown in FIG. 5, and without the driver intervening.
They may be automatic gearbox charts which are conventional for a person skilled in the art.
The means 420 of the module 400 preferably make it possible to store three fixed families of charts corresponding to "economy", "comfort", and "sports" driving conditions, but they do not make it possible for the three families to be managed self-adaptively. The driver selects one of the three families of charts, e.g. by means of a selection button.
The numerical values given in FIG. 5 are given solely by way of example. In practice, the curves must be defined specifically for each application (type of vehicle).
More precisely, going over to automatic mode may be achieved either a) manually, by means of a control 322 available to the driver, or b) automatically.
The control 322 available to the driver is preferably formed by a monostable button placed, for example, on the lever 320. By activating this control 322, the driver can decide to go over to automatic mode.
Preferably, activating the control 322 defines a transient automatic state, i.e. the module 400 acquires automatic control of gear changing only after the control 322 has been activated. In addition, the module 400 maintains the automatic operating mode so long as the driver does not act on the gear shift control lever 320, and it cancels the automatic operating mode whenever the lever 320 is acted on.
Accompanying FIG. 4 is a flow chart corresponding to such an automatic operating mode as requested by the driver.
By examining this flow chart, it can be understood that going over from the automatic mode to the "manual" mode, i.e. to the mode in which gear changing is controlled by the lever 320, takes place only at the driver's initiative. As soon as the driver acts on the lever 320, the module 400 goes over to manual mode, causing engagement of the next gear up or the next gear down from the gear in which the gearbox 100 was engaged in automatic mode. The "neutral" or "reverse" commands also act immediately (to go over from automatic mode to normal mode), if the gear change conditions are satisfied. However, there is an exception to the above rule: when the vehicle is stationary, or while parking maneuvers are being performed from such a stationary position, the system remains in automatic mode in spite of any intervention by the driver on the lever to select a forward gear or a reverse gear.
In a variant, it is also possible to go over from automatic mode to manual mode by acting on the control 322 (e.g. a monostable button).
The advantage of using a monostable button for selecting automatic mode is that the driver does not have to perform a plurality of operations to return to manual mode.
When the driver quits automatic mode, the module 400 abandons any gear change that is being made at the time at which the lever 320 is actuated.
Preferably, on switching off, the system retains the previously existing operating mode.
Going over automatically to the automatic operating mode is decided by a subassembly of the means 420 when the module 400 no longer recognizes the requests made by the driver, as expressed by the lever 320 being actuated.
In which case, the automatic mode is preferably a degraded operating mode in which the module 400 limits the gear ratio change authorizations, e.g. by authorizing only changes up to third gear for a 5-speed gearbox. Such a degraded mode in particular prompts the driver to go to a maintenance workshop to identify and repair the causes of the failure to recognize instructions output by the transducers 340.
According to a second additional characteristic of the invention, the module 400 is provided with means 430 suitable for causing first gear to be engaged automatically when the system detects that the vehicle has come to a halt, with the engine 110 running, and with a gear ratio other than neutral or than reverse.
These means 430 make it possible in particular when the vehicle has stopped, e.g. at traffic lights, for the vehicle to start off immediately, the acceleration being determined by the accelerator pedal 520.
Preferably, the system further includes a device 440, e.g. an audible device, suitable for warning the driver of dangerous situations, e.g. of the type in which the vehicle is stationary, with the engine running, with first gear engaged, and with a door open.
The system assumes that the vehicle is stationary when the engine speed (as detected by the sensor 120) and the inlet speed and the outlet speed of the gearbox 100 (as detected by the sensors 102) are below minimum thresholds for a predefined lapse of time T.
This parameter T can be configured differently depending on whether or not the vehicle is equipped with an Anti-Blocking System (ABS).
When the vehicle is not equipped with an ABS, the time T is longer so as not to confuse a period during which the vehicle is stationary with a period during which the vehicle is skidding with its wheels blocked, e.g. on ice.
In a typical embodiment, the means 430 are suitable for causing first gear to be engaged automatically when:
the lever 320 is in the rest position; and
the system is not in the automatic operating mode; and
the gear ratio engaged is a gear that corresponds to a gear higher than first gear; and
the engine speed is higher than a threshold, e.g. 400 revolutions per minute (r.p.m.); and
the speed of the primary shaft of the gearbox 100 is lower than a threshold, e.g. 200 r.p.m.; and
the speed of the differential outlet shaft is lower than a threshold, e.g. 50 r.p.m.
The means 430 cause first gear to be engaged by causing the following to occur successively:
the old gear (2nd to 5th gear) is disengaged;
the position containing first gear is selected; and
first gear is engaged.
During all of these operations, the clutch remains disengaged.
According to a third additional characteristic of the invention, the module 400 is provided with means 450 suitable for detecting a low-grip mode in which the vehicle wheels are gripping poorly, and for responding to such detection by constraining the module 400 to manage gear changing in such manner as to minimize variations in the engine torque transmitted to the wheels.
Preferably, the means 450 perform this management by different parameterization for the relationships governing the following:
reducing the engine torque as requested to the computer 500 prior to the gear change;
declutching prior to the gear change;
clutching after the gear change;
re-establishing the engine torque as requested to the computer 500 after the gear change; and
clutching while the vehicle is starting.
Furthermore, the means 450 are preferably suitable for automatically constraining the gearbox to change into second gear when the vehicle stops and when low-grip conditions are detected.
It should be noted that the time required for changing gear is increased with the above process. However, the time during which traction is lost during the gear change remains unchanged because this time spans only those actions (disengagement, selection, engagement) which do not influence the variations in transmitted engine torque.
The times required for reducing and re-establishing the torque and for declutching and clutching are longer than in the normal-grip mode and different (longer) when changing down than when changing up.
Going over to low-grip mode may take place a) manually, by the driver actuating a suitable control 323, or b) automatically.
The control 323 is preferably formed by a bistable button having two positions, namely a first position corresponding to a low-grip operating mode and a second position corresponding to a normal-grip operating mode.
When the means 450 detect that the control 323 has switched over to a first position, i.e. they detect the low-grip mode in which the wheels do not grip very well, they directly initiate the management suitable for minimizing the variations in the engine torque transmitted to the wheels.
The means 450 are provided with a sub-assembly suitable for detecting a "blocked wheels" situation, e.g. by examining a corresponding output on an ABS computer, and for responding to such detection by automatically switching over to low-grip mode.
Returning to normal-grip mode from low-grip mode may take place either a) manually by means of the control 323 (for this purpose, the driver acts on the button 323 to put it back in its second position), or b) automatically (in which case, the module 400 automatically puts the system back into normal mode once it no longer receives a "wheels blocked" signal).
Preferably, the clutch associated with the engine 110 is controlled in a closed loop by the module 400 using an algorithm of the proportional integral (PI) type, as shown in the control diagram given in FIG. 6.
With reference to FIG. 6:
Δω•ref is a reference to be reached equal to the differentiated difference between a reference engine speed ωeng and the reference speed ω1 of the primary shaft of the gearbox; the value Δω•ref corresponds to a parameter imposed on the system by the module 400 as a function of the position of the accelerator pedal and of the change in gear taking place;
X•ref is the differentiated position of the clutch actuator 204; it is a parameter imposed on the system (objective to be reached) as a function of the position of the accelerator pedal and of the change in gear taking place;
PI is the PI-type control algorithm;
i is the current for controlling the electrically driven clutch valve;
EV is the electrically driven clutch valve;
Xmeasured is the position of the clutch actuator 204 as measured by the position sensor associated therewith;
ωENGmeasured is the engine speed as measured;
ω1measured is the primary shaft speed as measured; and
Δω•measured is the differentiated difference between the engine speed as measured and the primary shaft speed as measured.
As shown in FIG. 6, the clutch servo-control loop comprises:
an adder 401 which sums the above-mentioned parameters ανδΔω•measured ;
a calculator module 402 that integrates the signal output from the adder 401 to a limit X•ref max, and that outputs the signal X•ref ;
an adder 403 which sums the signal X•ref and the signal X•measured (which is equal to the derivative of the signal Xmeasured generated by the sensor associated with the clutch actuator 204);
a calculator module 404 which applies the PI-type control algorithm to the signal output by the adder 403, and which generates at its output the current i for controlling the electrically driven clutch valve;
the electrically driven valve EV controlled by the current i;
the clutch actuator 204 equipped with the position sensor delivering the signal Xmeasured ;
a calculator module 405 which calculates the derivative X•measured of the signal generated by the sensor; and
a calculator module 406 which calculates the differentiated difference Δω•measured between the engine speed as measured ωENGmeasured and the primary shaft speed as measured ω1.
The low-grip mode is obtained by giving appropriate values to the parameters Δω•ref and X•ref so that the clutch closes more slowly and so that the variations in the engine torque transmitted to the wheels are minimized.
Naturally, the present invention is not limited to the particular embodiments described above, but rather it extends to any variant complying with the spirit of it.

I have tried this product out a hand full of times. I have fine, wavy, thinning hair. I have tried a lot of different shampoos and conditioners but most of them strip my hair and make it look very dry and brittle. I gave this a chance and I am impressed. I figured it would way down my hair but it didn't. I have replaced one of my shampoos day with this co-wash once a week and my hair looks best after the co-wash than the actual shampoo. Will definitely continue to use and re-purchase.

I tried this after I got out of the pool and needed to get the chlorine out of my hair. I really didn't want to use a shampoo because I figured my hair could use a break. Wow do I like this co wash! My hair came out soft, not weighed down and not stripped. This is just perfect for alternating with shampoo/conditioner. So glad I tried this!

My hair is mid length, blond, over processed shreaded wheat hair. LOL
Used this tonight for the first time and I am very impressed so far.
I usualy use all sorts of stuff on my hair after washing it to try and get my brush though it, but decided to leave those things off to see how it turned out.
So firstly, it feels nice when washing, a bit like washing your hair with conditioner, but cleaner and not so thick. As per the instructions I only needed a handfull to do all my mid length hair, so this will last quite a long time with this huge bottle.
I am not a fan of the smell.
After washing, using my "Wet Brush" I found it surprisingly easy to brush my hair out, (with nothing extra added to help that process).
I left my hair to dry naturaly, and it feels soft and quite strong. The ends don't look so dry and whispy as normal, but I feel I will need to add a little something just to give it that extra bit of shine and smoothness.
Overall I am very impressed.

We have a lot of different hair types in our household. I have straight, med textured hair. My daughters have 2B & 3B. Their father has short hair, maybe 4B or 4C. He hasn't tried this yet, even though I told him he should. He's very resistant to change. lol.
Anyway, this performs well on all of us. I've used this a few times. Leaves my hair quite bouncy, not weighed down at all. A bit too soft for my liking though. I do use this to condition my ends after using another shampoo and it works well. On my girls, this gives more moisture and slip than the last co wash we used (HE Naked Cleansing Conditioner). Their curls seem to be more defined, at least until they run around with blankets on their heads or play dress up. lol. Oh well. I tried.
I plan to repurchase this in the future.

This is the only product that I actually would buy from Pantene again and again. As, i find it to be a great product to use to cowash my naturally curly hair with. It has that signature Pantene, which i have never really been a fan, but I am willing to put up with it due to how well the product works for my hair.

I just bought this product yesterday. I have relaxed hair and I was looking for a co wash because I was using a light holding spray due to the humidity and hair spray causes drying and breakage so I needed to shampoo every other day and shampooing with shampoo cleansers isn't good for my hair. I had decided to get a good conditioner to co wash my hair every three days when I came upon the pantene hair products. I almost choose the pantene conditioner for relaxed hair then I spotted the Pantene Truly n Natural Co-Wash. I tried it last night and I love the way my hair feels it feels thicker and fuller. the texture has some slight reversion if you know what I mean but it is beautiful. I can deal with a little tightness that is still flowing! I love this stuff! and I will keep using it! Thanks Pantene I found what I was hoping for.

I have not used Pantene in years, and almost every stylist will say it's horrible for your hair (then they try to get you to buy their products). I agree to some point that Pantene has heavy silicones in many of their products. However, I was intrigued when someone with great hair mentioned this to me as an HG product for all hair types. I assumed it was for AA hair and would contain rich oils that would weigh my hair down, but this doesn't. It has a low lather and a creamy texture to condition. You also get an enormous bottle for $5. I wouldn't use it for every wash, but every other wash and especially in the winter when hair needs extra moisture.

I have medium fine,naturally curly hair that I blow out several times a week. I cleanse with conditioners in between shampoos to keep my hair from drying out from frequent washing. This is the best I've used from high dollar cleansing conditioners to cheap VO5. I would probably classify this more as a low shampoo product. This does foam just a bit so there must be a small amount of cleanser but it has great slip and gives good moisture.This leaves my hair silky with plenty of body. The best part about this is that i can skip my silk drops. After a blow dry my hair is frizz free with no other products needed although I sometimes will smooth a tiny amount through my hair for static control. I also love that it's about 1/8th the cost of my normal shampoo and conditioner. I currently can only find this at the dollar store with the black hair care products so I'm praying it isn't discontinued but I've been paying around $5 for the big bottle. Because this may weigh fine looser curls down too much I would recommend this for blowouts or those with a tighter curl that can withstand or need a little extra weight . For the record I usually can't stand Pantene products. I find them buildup heavy and drying but this one is a winner. I'm trying to stock up to prepare for the inevitable discontinue.

I'm Caucasian with baby fine hair. I bought into the expensive "cleansing conditioner" idea well it was not all that impressive for my hair until one day I tried the Pantene truly natural co wash. It's my OMG HG!!! I have voluptuous hair like the commercial! And my hair before this looks as if I need rogaine! No other product has ever done this to my hair even their other products. I'm telling the world what an awesome job they did on this one! 5 stars don't go back to the one on the infomercial!

Bottom line - it's inexpensive, not natural (but what is truly natural?), and suitable for any ethnicity. I've tried several other 'co-washes' such as As I AM and Jane Carter, used conditioners for co-washing, "baby" or "sulfate-free" shampoos, etc. This works well and the 22.8 ml size retails for approximately $5.00 USD. So, if you're not "caught up" on natural ingredients and looking for good results then this is the product for you. It contains a water-soluble silicone called bis-aminopropyl dimethicone which contributes to its great detangling and smoothing properties for those that have hair that is prone to tangling, meshing or frizziness. It also contains surfactants (stearamidopropyl dimethylamine) that allow a gentle cleansing and emollients such as stearyl alcohol and cetyl alcohol which provide a "softening" effect and can contribute the waxy feel or coating of the hair. Note though that many of your high-end "natural" co-washes also contain many of the same ingredients, but they added in extracts of this and that. Yes, "oil-enriched" is part of the package label, but the oils are listed just prior to the last two ingredients which are preservatives. If you want 'oils' then consider performing an oil-rinse after you co-wash. I don't use this to cleanse my scalp instead I use Keracare Natural Textures Cleansing Cream as a scalp cleanser - apply, gently massage, allow it to sit while detangling my hair strands and then I continue the scalp massage while rinsing the cleansing cream out. Now that my hair is soaking wet from the rinsing, I apply the Pantene Co-wash to my hair strands (no scrubbing, just scrunching it in) - let that marinate, and rinse. Based on the way my hair feels after co-washing with Pantene (as opposed to the other items that I previously mentioned), I have not had to perform any additional rinse-out or deep conditioning treatment, but I do apply a leave-in conditioner. I am very satisfied and now the 'poo portion of my hair care regimen has become shorter in time and simplified.
