Pantene?

[girly_girl]

Is pantene really bad for your hair? I have been using HSH Soy milk, and LOVE LOVE it!! However, I was told by someone that for a very nice shine to use Pantene Brunette Expressions. I'm not really sure that would give me any more shine than my HSH, but isn't pantene supposed to be bad for your hair? Last night I used my bed head self absorbed to give me a nice shine, but I hate straying away from my choc. soy milk.

I don't recommend store bought shampoos but that's IMHO

I used pantene 10 yrs ago my hair never grew .. I mean never grew it was always the same length for many years

I have nothing against high end shampoos/low end shampoos/natural shampoo etc etc etc. I used Pantene from about the age of 3 or 4 until I was 11 or 12 and I had hair down my back. So Pantene being bad is new to me. Some of their many lines may not be successful, but over all, its shampoo and shampoo has one purpose. Like Labrat said, if you have fine hair its not for you, because of the silicones and the build up, but I too have curly hhair and I wouldnt make it without silicones in my life.

People that cant afford high end crap use regular store bought, drug store shampoos, including Pantene and there is no rise in bald headed, unhealthy haired people. Heck, Pantene sponsored the last locks of love that was here and all participants used Pantene over the year to help their hair grow to be cut off for cancer patients so......(fill in the blank) HIgh end is not and will not be the only way.

i love my patene for woc and use it daily. i strayed away from it for a while and my hair was not happy at all! nothing beats it for detangling without breakage for me. i agree with labrat81, my hair really seems to like the cones. but if what you're using is working then why even consider switching? just wondering...

I used Pantene and hated it. It made my hair a dried out frizz ball.

Well I considered it because I have hilights Blonde ones and they are looking Dull. I did go out and buy me some pantene blonde expressions to try out. I do have thick, med/coarse, frizzy hair so hopefully this will help me out. I'm going to put the pantene in rotation with HSH to try to keep my blonde looking good. The only thing is I bought the highlight enhancing and I think I needed the one that takes brassy out of blonde. I may exchange it for that one since I haven't tried it yet. I guess maybe Pantene is ok after all!! Can't wait to try it now!! Thanks everyone!

I HATE Pantene Texturize! I did a whole rant on how that crap killed my hair. I am not a snob when it comes to my hair. I'll use whatever whenever. But this is seriously crap. my hair- which is pretty thick and strong, and I'm sure if you tied a Mac truck to the end of it, my hair could probably pull it across state lines without getting a split end.

But Texturize made my hair turn into a crinkly mess, like how hair turns when you burn it or put too much heat on it. I literally freaked. I thought it was damaged forever.

It was actually another cheapo shampoo that brought my hair back to life- Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine.

 

[girly_girl]

Could someone tell me if I need the one for Brassy, since I'm wanting my blonde to be shiny like it was when I got them. I'm sure it won't look as good as it did then, but I want it to not be so dull looking.

Personally, I could care less what crap I use on my hair but I wouldn't never use Pantene again. It made my hair dry out and get frizzy and oily even quicker than other shampoos. I dont care if shampoo from dollar general is no brand, I would prefer to use that than deal with pantene again. I did love the scent though (thats how I purchase my shampoo.)

I just purchased Marc Anthony thickening shampoo and it does the job although it's fruity mango creamy scent is a bit much for me. Oh well, I got it on BOGO last week at rite aid.

i <3 pantene, thats my HG shampoo and cond.

 

[girly_girl]

I got the one for natural/hilighted, but I think I needed Platnium/sand dune hi-lighted.

Last month, I purchased Pantene Shampoo and Conditioner - Daily Moisture Renewal. I have thick, wavy, curly, frizzy, coloured, dry hair so I can't get enough silicones.

My hair feels quite soft and is much easier to manage. I strongly recommend it for anyone with hair similar to mine.

I don't understand how any hair product can stop hair from growing from the scalp. But I am well aware how the elements, colouring & other chemicals, and styling can cause split ends, frizziness, and breakage.

Pantene Pro - V is what I use & love !

 

[CamaroChick]

I have never understood what's great about Pantene. It always left my hair completely dried out. Nevertheless, every time I saw it in a "Best of Beauty" kind of list (where it shows up a LOT), I'd try it again to see if something had changed, or if I was missing something. I regretted wasting my money every time.

What a product does for one person, it will not do for all, I can list any shampoo brand and someone will complain about it.

I tried it yesterday, and it made my hair Soft. However it made it frizz or poof so I guess I won't be using it.

i sorry it didn't work for you. just a suggestion - i picked up ojon shine and protect and i like it alot. i think we have similar issues with our hair. i want more shine and to help my semi perm color last a bit longer. i also want to control the frizz. this is the second day i've used it and i'm very happy so far. it's a bit pricey - $24, but for me it's been worth it. check it out.
