Why pantene is good

Excess oil on our hair feeds a yeast-like fungus which make skin cells flake off faster. Better wash that away regularly! Stress can also be the problem. Too much sun exposure can make hair dry and give you breakage and split ends. Daily wear and tear with styling damage from blow-drying, straightening and even overbrushing can leave your hair unhappy. Not an ideal look. This frizz-inducing climate often occurs by the sea but it's a daily struggle for many of us on our commute to work.

Here are some good things to know about greasy, oily hair: Hair follicles that produce too much sebum are to blame for greasy hair. Sebum is our natural, moisturizing oil but too much of this good thing just doesn't look great, especially on straighter, finer hair.

Wash regularly but not too much. Related Products. Similar Articles. Home Hair Advisor Shampoo. Shop Products. I have used many brands including lush but have noticed fairly similar performance.

I lose a lot of hair in the shower, but I used to lose it around the house when I shampooed every day. As someone with finer but curly hair, I already know mine are probably strange. My ends have definitely been in better shape since I started conditioning closer to daily and applying henna monthly.

I would love to see you cover henna as a dye product because of its different mechanism than conventional dye and occasionally my research has seen conflicting information. My understanding is that there are mechanical and chemical ways to lift or smooth the hair cuticle, and that acids will smooth and bases will lift it but products also can tamp it down to reduce friction and tangling. I am not product loyal so I try everything at least once.

I have heard the rumour that Pantene is bad for your hair, will cause it to fall out. It left a frothy slippery coating on my tub that required some serious astringent cleaning to get off. I thought that was kind of grim.

But her hair looked great! I am not saying that Pantene is the worst company and that their product is junk. First off, it leaves my hair soft and smelling great, which is nice. The only thing that is not so nice is how dry it leaves my scalp. I am constantly brushing my shoulders off to remove the fallen flakes out of my hair. I have very long hair and it becomes very difficult to manage if it gets dry.

Once per week, I use the Shielo intensive Hair Mask and it has not only repaired my damage hair which use to always tangle but has also give them a smooth silky shine. It appears as if there has been a coating of cream on your hair which is protective layer. I was told by my hair stylist that is a family friend that when she was in college they did a study about pantene, but I do not know what it was about.

Let me get this straight. Taking a chance at what? I had really bad hair breakage last year — it was from getting too many perms and running my blow drier too hot — Im in a rush sometimes!

I found out my Pantene shampoo and conditioner was the problem that I was having with my hair. I suggest everyone not to buy the cheap Pantene shampoo and conditioner. And purchase a high-end product like matrix or redkin. These hair products works so well with my hair, you will not believe the results.

Remember, if the product is cheap, the result will also be cheap. It tangles like crazy. Is this a valid suggestion? Some people feel that Pantene leaves a silicone residue on their hair.

I have very thick, nearly black wavy hair. I go to someone who specifically cuts to curls and textures. Then I cave and go back to Pantene and my hair feels so clean and full of body. My husband, who has very thin blonde hair, also prefers Pantene.

My hair only feels as good as it does using Pantene when I use Davines, however they discontinued my preferred formula. I have been using Pantene for about 15 years now… I have thin long hair but very shinny and strong. I do not use conditioner in the shower because I always feel it weighs my hair down but I do use the Pantene detangler…… Works great!

Again excited to try something new but not really sure why……. Again I do love my Pantene! I think it depends on what type of hair you have. When I use Pantene — it does just that. Maybe for dry hair, Pantene is good. But for oily hair… it makes the problem much worse. They just care about making products people will buy.

The stuff tastes delicious. I used to use every other shampoo, lets just say, my hair was frizzy,ugly,old,and split. I switched to pantene, and every single time after i use it, my friends ask me what kind of shampoo i use.

I started using it about 30 years ago and first bought it from a salon. I was so happy when it started to be sold in stores. The reason salons try to push their product is that they make a large percentage on those sales.

Barb — I do remember when Pantene was a salon product. I bought it and was blown away. It was amazing product that totally transformed my hair. It was super rich and concentrated and you only used a dab. I had never experienced such a unique product and the results were insane. It was like a whole different head of hair! Then after a few years of buying my special Pantene treat every year and raving about it to friends, they disappeared from the shelves in the little specialty hair section and I saw them become this massive presence on the mass produced product shelves.

I guess they got bought out and reformulated and the mass marketing began and they ended up as being the biggest selling drug store product we see today. What they ended up as now is a basic fairly decent product for the masses, and the most amazing thing about them are the ads. I went from using a regular cheaper shampoo and conditioner to using Pantene and after only a few months my hair was falling out by the handful. I lost more then half my hair before I switch back to a less expensive brand and its been about 3 months and finally my hair has slowed down and is getting fuller again.

Did you get your hair colored before you started using Pantene? If so, that could have been the cause of your hair loss. I am baffled by the ignorance of this article. Just because you compare to other salon products that have these toxic chemicals does NOT make it ok!

No offense but you do not know what you are talking about. No plastics found in Pantene? Silicone is almost like a plastic creating shine but depleting the hair of moisture. Quaternium18 releases formaldehyde! There are no regulations in the beauty industry.

Hi Serena. Actually silicone conditions hair and fights the effects of moisture loss. Actually there are dozens of regulations for beauty products. I combined coupons with a sale on Pantene and bought a bunch of bottles to last my family a long while. About nine months ago I started getting itchy patches on my scalp that would scab up. Six months ago I noticed that my brush was very full of hair after brushing.

After my husband commented on how thin my hair looked I started taking vitamins, thinking that was the cause of my hair issues. No change. That was a few months ago and my itchy scalp is gone and the hair loss stopped almost immediately after switching shampoos.

Count me another satisfied user of Pantene conditioner, since the s. The silicones leave my hair slippery and shiny and easy to comb. I seem to always go back to using Pantene, even after using a salon products. Well, I am a stylist and I believe in people having healthy hair not just to sale products. But 9 out of 10 of my clients with wavy or curly hair that used Pantene at home, hair has broken off in several places or is very dry.

I had a young Indian girl come in the beginning of the summer with a head full of hair, just beautiful. But, by the end of the summer, she came back for another trim and her hair was falling out by the hand full. I asked her what she was using and it was Pantene. She is just one out of many that I have noticed this problem.

I do notice that it is fine for people with naturally straight hair. I would never recommend this product to anyone. If it works for you great. Not a fan and will never be. So, i switched to Pantene color revival. I switched back to something as simple as suave, and that greasy feeling disappeared.

I also have very thick hair, and some shampoos do mat it down, so maybe pantene works better for thin hair. I use pantene a lot as I have a lot of thin wavy to curly hair. I grew it out for over a year without cutting it. Colored the roots, let the streaking grow put to nice ombre. I though used my straightener a lot before I met my current guy. But my hair grew out very damaged. I used mostly salon shampoos enjoy, tedken but did not notice much change. I started using patene for color more often and suave.

Fir conditioner, I use aran oil type, sometimes Austin 3 minute…but always a various types of de Frizzell Paul Mitchell, pantene etc , plus orange oil. I use mostly on the ends. Btw, I have tried not washing my ends. They get greasy. I concentrate on the scalp for shampoo. I will keep it right past my shoulders and use pantene and my regime conditioners, orange oil, cellophane every once in awhile.

I streaked and did my own roots before I got it cut. Afterwards, it looks very natural. However it looks pretty good now.

Although others may not have had the same experience, I used it for 4 weeks. It left a gooey type of trail on my hairline. I use GKhair moisturizing shampoo that is sulfate free for my dry, brittle and dull hair that are so prone to fall and break so easily.

I use this very shampoo for the past 3 years and it did wonders on my dull hair. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is suffering from dry, brittle and dull hair and wants to have beautiful, healthy and shiny hair.

Think this must be as important as the ingredients. The pH is about 6. The ingredients are really much more important.

Sir i am a boy of 18 years Have never straighten my hairs nor i use to apply any gel or anything which damages hair But still, whenever i use to shampoo, i see around hairs on my hand and maybe other hairs may fallen, and whenever i apply oil Dabur almond hair oil i use to apply it daily at night, i notice around hairs on my hand and some hairs use to come on my shoulders So can pantene stop this hair fall? Or please suggest anyother shampoo that can help me Coz i am seriously worried about my hairs I have almost straight and little dry hairs and my hairstyle is, i use make my hair stand from both the sides.

The only kind of hair fall that Pantene can stop is that caused by damage like brushing and combing. Anyhow, just wanted to thank the Randy Schueller for providing help to consumers. I appreciate the website. Keep up the good work!

Hi Randy. Im new to Pantene and just love it! Would you happen to have any suggestions on what to buy? I have curly frizzy dry hair and sometimes straighten it. Im looking for shampoo and conditioner, leave in conditioner, shiny serum, and long lasting scent for my hair!

Are these the right things I should be looking for? Do I need all of these things? And what Pantene products do you suggest? My hair was always short, never got it much longer than to my shoulders.

Finally, couple years ago I buzzed it all off, deciding to start over—no coloring, straightening, or blow-drying—just let it grow. It reaches the middle of my shoulder blades now, and Pantene is no longer working. My curls have become unmanagable, frizzy, and so consistently breaking I nearly cut all my hair off again due to how frustrating it had been. After asking me what shampoo I used and hearing I used Pantene, she did tell me they used plastics. I needed to look into it.

I would buy purely from natural stores if I could afford to. But, Pantene is just fine. I used pantene for almost 20 years.. I have baby fine hair and have been using Pantene Shampoo and Conditioner. My hair looks and feels thicker. I think my hair is addicted to Pantene. Now my eyes and brain hurt from an information and opinion overload… Lets just simplify the facts. Artificial chemicals are bad for humans, chemicals are man made poisons. Some chemicals can harbour bacteria that is completely alien to earth and exist only because of human interference with nature eg: diesel and petrol can harbour bacteria once the chemical stabilizers break down or evaporate.

Any cosmetic products are capable of the same bacterial breakdown. But at the end of the day some people are fitness and health fanatics and get cancer in their twenties, some people smoke, drink heavily and are exposed to highly toxic environments at work every day of their life and the live forever. If you want silky hair that smells like a cupids armpit use pantene. The world is driven by greed and lies but at the end of the day my hair and my Rottweiler smell like cupids armpits and shine like optic fibres.

I have accepted Jesus Christ into my life as my Savior so a bit of chemical here or there will only get me by His side faster anyway. This world is temporary and anyone who has bothered to see what the Bible says will know these are the final days and the only thing that matters is the Salvation of your soul! Thanks for stating your beliefs about beauty products. Thank you. Used as a surfactant and foaming agent, sodium laurel sulfate is a strong skin irritant and produces nitrosamine, a substance linked to cancer formation.

Nitrosamine can be formed in the production of some surfactants but the levels are carefully controlled so this is not an issue. I use to like Pantene alot. It was always a staple hair wash to grab in the store until recently. I had been experiencing what I can only describe as chronic dandruff. My scalp would build up large amounts of skin that were highly visible and peel like a bad case of dandruff.

I was always unsure why as I wash my hair at least 3 times a week the recommended amount and even sometimes with anti — dandruff shampoos. All of this happened when I was using Pantene. I began to turn to the fact that maybe it was my trusty hairwash causing these problems. So I switched hair wash and within days my dandruff case was completely gone.

I could wear my usual style of a part down the middle and my head no longer resembled a snow globe. I tried a few more different hair washes and no dandruff.

So i switched back to Pantene just to see and YUP! The next morning I woke up with that same build up on my scalp. I have been using Pantene for at least fifteen years.

I have hair to my waist that is extremely thick. I have always received compliments on my hair for the look, smell and feel of it.

I have been to salons where the stylists have tried to convince me on how bad it was. It never phased me. I would go home and go right back to my Pantene.

I have had no desire to try any other product because I have been so happy with Pantene. Unfortunately, something has changed in the last few months. The more I shower, the oilier it looks. I actually called the store where I bought it, thinking it had been tampered with. I explained that I believed kids had mixed baby oil in it. After buying several different bottles with the same result. I came to the conclusion that it was in fact the Pantene that was making my hair look like this.

The fragrance also has seemed to of changed. To my disappointment, I had to start trying other brands. She was saddened and relieved at the same time because she was experiencing the same thing with her hair. I have been a loyal customer for many, many years and would love to go back to using it. Untill then I will settle for these other brands. I used Pantene Pro V for one week. It made my hair feel and look beautiful. I had to stop and use a clarifying shampoo.

It still did not work so I moved on to the original Head and Shoulders. No more buildup, my hair felt so clean, and there was no smelly scalp.

I guess it depends on the type of hair and scalp an individual has. I loved it but it was not fit for oily scalps like mine.

Pantene made my hair dry like straw and my hair would never grow past my shoulders without breaking off when I used that. Glad I switched to something with healthier ingredients, my hair has been thick, strong and healthy since I stopped using store-bought hair products. I just switched back to V05 yesterday and no more tingling and only about 50 hairs fell out after washing instead of Please help. My hair has always been my pride and joy.

I figured since it is pretty damn healthy, it could deal with some bleach damage. And I figured the master stylist who did all the color-corrections would know how much would be too much. I was wrong, and now I want to burst into tears every time I look at my hair or touch it.

What should i do to regrow hair? Why does Pantene make your hair fall out is my question because otherwise I love it! My hair falls out by hand full when I use it. Actually I used pantene shampoo years ago and after my hair fell out I had a bald spot and had to cover it.

Never again will i use pantene shampoo research it. I thought this was a serious blog, but all I can see is that it is managed by someone who is being sponsored by Pantene. What a waste of my time!! Hi Rosie. TBH, Pantene only works for those with frizzy hair.

And yes, it makes my hair verrry itchy and greasy. Pantene is for the frizzy only. Instead of using coconut oil, this is what Pantene is for..

Well to begin with, your actual strands of hair are basically dead. Hair health begins with what you eat and how you treat your body. You need a vitamin rich, balanced diet. From there, you need to protect your head of hair. On some of the natural stuff, my hair tangled terribly. With other options in one particular range, it was slightly better, but I still needed leave-in conditioner and hair oil to prevent knotting.

My hair knots like crazy and splits no matter what I use. Time will tell. I do use a hot oil treatment of coconut oil, olive oil, vitamin e oil and castor oil every week or two. Makes a big difference no matter what shampoo and conditioner I use. Bottom line, eat well, and find products that work for you and protect the hair shaft.

A friend just last week texted me and asked me what I use on my hair because I have ridiculously awesome hair. I remembered this post and seeing Randy say in other places that they were well formulated products and I told him to give Pantene a try, which is cheaper and easily found.

This was from the ASA, do you know who they are? Did I miss something? My personal experience with Pantene has been awful. I have very thick, curly hair. Pantene makes my hair so greasy, frizzy, damaged looking, many strands of hair fall out more than any other shampoo I used, my scalp itches so bad, and my curls turn into knots. If it works for you guys that wonderful but I would not recommend Pantene to anyone.

I have just found this website! Looks very interesting! I am on my final year of my Biomolecular Sciences degree. I have modules of Genetics, Immunology, Microbiology, Cellular Biology, etc, so even though I love Science and understand it my Chemistry knowledge is of course very limited.

I think people need to stop being rude. The arrogance in some of these posts is unbelievable. Thank you Randy for the facts and the Science! You need to change up your shampoos frequently. Hair masks and serums are the things that are going to give you long term results. Hi Simone. Actually the idea that your hair becomes immune to shampoo is a myth. I have a bachelors degree in Microbiology and am applying to doctoral programs now and I just got lectured by my hairdresser for using Pantene.

My hair is very long and in great condition. I am glad I found this website. My stylist got me nervous because she told me that Pantene is horrible and urged me to try something else…not happening! Hello Randy. Palmolive Shampoo. I love Pantene. When my hair was relaxed, Pantene Hair Products were my line of hair products, My hair is natural now, and I have tried several of those new hair products.

But, I decided to go back to Pantene, now with the Gold Series hair product. I know this is old, but I wanted to say that after using Pantene for almost a year, I started experiencing a lot of hair breakage and I do absolutely nothing to my hair but let it be. I had to cut a half inch off and introduce layers after three years of growing it because of Pantene.

Never again. Every time I use Pantene conditioner there is a mass of hair in the drain catcher. I thought it was a coincidence. I stopped using it no breakage, this winter the dryness indoors is making my hair static so I bought Pantene again, what the h- breakage in the hair strainer.

I bought the big bottle too. I feel like an idiot! At first, it was wonderful. My hair showed the damage from it. Once my grandmother realized I was using Pantene she almost fainted!

She begged me to quit using it. I did. My hair is much more healthier now. Tresemme is a good alternative. I find Loreal everpure works great too. Just my experience. Thanks for your comment! The problems with Pantene come from long-term use although product buildup on the air begins at the first use.

Your hair will feel great and look great at first, but eventually it will become weighed-down, limp, harder to manage, etc. This is a myth and has been debunked. Ingredient for ingredient, pantene is pretty much identical to the pricey olaplex that stylists are currently obsessed with.

If anyone has a layer of wax on their head that is sticking to scissors… it is because that person is just dirty or has build up of styling products. Not from shampoo or conditioner. My own hair reacts the same way; there is definitely a problem with the formula. Wow, I thought pantene was the best shampoo but now after all of your experiences i think i should look for other options. Well my hair use to be healthy pantene made it softer when i switched now 5 years later it there lots of hair loss..

No body no more.. Just bleh. And i use no heat products or dye my hair. Have there been any other changes that could have contributed to your hair loss like stress, diet, etc,? If not, then your issue could have been a result of product build-up or ingredients in the shampoo you were using.

This is especially true of cheaper products or products that are not right for your hair type and needs. Product build-up is the main culprit because it can damage the hair follicle causing the hair to fall out, which may or may not come back.

Suave is one of the cheapest shampoo brands you can buy. Pantene made my hair fall out. I was starting to think I was having thyroid issues. It was that shampoo. I will never use that crap again. I am just hoping my hair recovers and thickens back up.

I use the Pantene charcoal shampoo and conditioner and they work great, I think the brand turned over a new leaf with this line and it has no wax or silicone. Everything in moderation…. I have the worst time with build up and crunchiness. Then I found a Pantene that appeared to work for me.

I tried giving up the Pantene and my hair was so dry the ends with break off by merely touching my hair. It took lots of trims and growing out to get my curls back.

My hair is dull and lifeless after using Pantene as it was 15 years ago when I used it. I know, there are a lot of you out there that use it and love it. A few reasons: A The waxy texture left on my hands after handling hair that has weeks, months, to years of Pantene use on it. C Being able to comb through it while wet but after blow-drying, hair gets baked together from whatever substance is in there and you struggle to detangle it.. I think what you mean is…. I used Pantene and in no way do my hands feel any waxy.

Hair is actually manageable. And no… There are no dust as you claim. I have been using Pantene because I like the way if makes my hair feel better than the more expensive brands. Your hairstylist can do a pre-color clarifying treatment or you can use something like Paul Mitchell Shampoo Three at home. I use it once every other week sometimes more often, sometimes less often. Professionally, I just give my clients my opinion about products, their routine, coloring, etc.

The reason why people think Pantene makes their hair feel good is because of the wax deposits. Steaming, moisture dripping, not lifting properly and toner doing absolute bleep all. So true! In the beginning, it will leave your hair looking super shiny. But for the wrong hair, it can leave buildup, cause it to feel sticky, and may make it brittle. Is this why stylists say Pantene coats the hair or makes it fall out?

This is what they say because their sales reps at the salon make them so you will be scared to death like my other friend and only buy what that salon sells you. Research it. Try a small bottle to see how you like it too. Because Pantene or any other brand under the sun may not make your hair look and feel the way you were hoping for it to. They have many of the same types of ingredients.

There are fatty alcohols like stearyl and cetyl. There are conditioning agents like quaternium and stearamidopropylamine. And there are silicones too, like cyclomethicone, and yes, dimethicone too! There are no plastics in Pantene.

But please, look at the real facts and not the hype. Myth busted! The brand does have proprietary ingredients brought on by technological means. However, those classes of ingredients they use are the same types that are used with consistency throughout the entire industry of hair care. Those things are fatty alcohols, silicones, cationic surfactants, and cationic polymers. These things include terminal amino silicones, liquid crystals, and coacervate conditioning complexes.
