Pantene?

[4getmeNot]

i've used pantene before & i liked the way it made my hair feel. it seemed like a great line to me. i haven't tried the color enchancing shampoos though. many lines have those color enchancing shampoos so i would check reviews or experiment & see what works for you.

on what labrat said, i have also heard that pantene coats your hair with a lot of silicone (the stuff that makes it so shiny) & that extra build up isn't good for your hair. if you use it, try switching off to other brands to eliminate some of the build up. it's better to switch off brands anyway so your hair doesn't get too used to one product.

i've also tried pantene in the past, it's probably my favorite brand of shampoos.

however, i couldn't use much the shampoo and the conditioner together, it was making my hair shiny and soft but also heavy. my roots were also quickly becoming greasy, as if the product was too rich for my hair. i still had a pretty greasy hair by that time, that's probably why.

Sephora: Ojon Shine & Protect Conditioner: Lightweight

I tried the hydrating shampoo and conditioner, I tried small bottles. Does the 2nd day spray smell like the shampoo? I may have to go online and buy this. I don't have anywhere near me that sells it. I had to drive 3 hrs to get the small shampoo & conditioner.

I loved Pantene for years and years. I'm getting bored of it so now I'm shuffling between Pantene and Herbal Essences (just because it's raspberry scented YUm!). I've never heard it being bad for your hair.

I use the Pantene Ice Shine shampoo. I like it because the shampoo is more of a clarafying shampoo i think (lol i donno its clean and is lighter then all there other shampoos) And that seems to work well with my hair. I't doesnt leave it all heavy. Most shampoos make my hair fall out more then it already does. I thought i was going bald when I used higher end products like Redken and there was somthing else whicked expencive i used that made it fall out alot, forget what it is though. So even though the pantene leves me slightly frizzy is all I really use.

i've heard a few people say they didn't like the second day spray, both the smell and product turned them off. i'm a no poo girl so i can't tell you much about the shampoo, but the conditioner is awesome and seems to be exactly what my hair needs right now. personally i really like the smell. reminds me of patchouli or sandlewood. how did you like the hydrating formula when you tried it?

The problem with Pantene stuff is that it does make your hair look good initially, but alot of the ingredients will ultimately dry your hair out. There really is better stuff out there, even at that price.

Wow, I never realized how unpopular pantene was!

Okay, SOOO after reading all the posts here I just wanted to add this...

Being a beautician, I have had some interesting experiences with clients that have used Pantene on their hair. As most of you all know, it does contain silicone which is like a wax substance, that is what the pro-v stands for..wax. Anyway...for the people who use it, its important to note that if you do get highlights or perms...or any chemical service done to your hair it may not turn out the way you want it because the wax builds up on the hair and a clarifying treatment does not always get the wax off the first time...it could take months to get all the build up off. So...for example, a client of mine came into the salon and wanted highlights for the spring/summer. I always ask what kind of shampoo they use because some shampoos do contain different ingredients that sometimes color/bleach is hard to break through (and its not just pantene). So, she was unsure of what kind of shampoo she uses..which for some reason when people tell me this I always laugh inside because who doesn't know what shampoo they use every time they wash their hair? Its right in front of them...anyway, I asked her if she used Pantene and she thought about it and said no. So after I placed all the foils in her head, I went back to see how they were looking. Well, nothing was lifting. I used bleach which bleach can usually lift through almost anything. So I asked her again what kind of shampoo she used and she said it was probably pantene and I told her about what happens when you get chemical services done when you use a shampoo like that. Needless to say I think she learned her lesson about that. So, you can still use the shampoo but just keep in mind if you do get highlights or color it may not turn out the way you expect it

This is so odd. I've used it for years and i get my hair highlighted just fine. It may not happen to everybody apparently.
I have noticed my hair drier lately I don't know if it's the shampoo. I've been using other shampoos lately because I got kinda bored, let's see if it helps.

It happens, but it is very very very rare, the chemicals in highlights will overpower cones. It is good to wash hair with a clarifying shampoo 2 days prior to highlights, but not with moisturizing shampoos. Residue can block absorption, but it is sooooo rare.

I used it for a few months and my hair just got gross and greasy. I stopped and switched to anther brand and now my hair feels really 'clean'.

 

[mhm_megan]

i read a book on hair products and it said that most pantene products contained these chemicals that dried out your hair, stripped the color, etc. it could be different for everyone though.

 

[blueangel1023]

I used Pantene a couple of yrs back. I tend to switch back 'n forth btwn shampoos. I have really oily and fine/thin hair (the worst of both combos) lol, but I find the Pantene Purity Clarifying shampoo works well with my hair. I know it's supposed to be bad to wash your hair every single day, but with this shampoo it's possible to do so and although it might dry your hair out a bit, that's a plus for me since my hair is SUPER oily.

I used to highlight and dye my hair a lot as well and during that time I switched over to Pantene color revival shampoo and it worked out well. It kept my color and I didn't have to dye it for another 8-10 months. I guess it might work for some ppl and for some it might not. I think it also depends on the Pantene shampoo you use since there's so many different kinds for different types of hair.

It made my hair soft, however it made it fall out. My hair is super thick so that could have been a good thing for a while, but after so long I'm sure it would be noticed.

 

[perlanga]

I don't see anuthing wrong with pantene I've been using the Full and thick two-in-one for years now, with no complaints.

 

[cherryblossom13]

I like Pantene. I switch between salon stuff and drugstore stuff. My hair is really long, and has the tendency to get frizzy but Pantene works well on my mop.

If your hair does not like silicones don't use it... if it does, just remember to clarify every once in a while and you should be fine!

lol! exactly. frizzballs unite!

 

[spangle]

ive just tried the ice shine shampoo, conditioner and serum, my hair feels a bit waxy when wet but nice and soft when dry. I agree with clarifying monthly to eliminate build up.

I also think that if you use any shampoo too often, the hair gets used to it and the results change, so regardless of what shampoo you use, change brands from time to time and clarify.

Maybe because my hair has no dye or perm on it and I also only air dry is why, my fine hair suits it. My hair is also thick and wavy.
