Re: How many use Pantene shampoo and conditioner?
 

My one sister says "Dont use it..." cos it does coat your hair with wax...

I had no idea that it did that. I have naturally...uh, oily hair, so I wash my hair everyday, I don't know if that's a good thing or not, but I have to do it. But no wonder my hair gets so oily in a few hours. Not only is this pantene building a layer of wax on my hair, I have to use lots of other hair products to get my hair to do what I want it to when I style it.

Well I'm never using this stuff again.

I used to use it, until I read somewhere that it makes your hair fall out. :eek: Maybe that's because it makes your hair break off, as someone said earlier. Listen to AXJules, everybody--Garnier Fructis is the way to go! That's what I use, and I'm real particular about my hair.

I don't normally mention stuff like this because I don't want to piss anyone off, but if you're looking for another reason NOT to use Pantene and you care, it's made by Procter & Gamble, a company that still tests its products on animals.

Besides Frizz-ease, I believe Pantene has the best shampoo and conditioner on the market.

I swear by Aveda. I've been using it since I was a kid, and there's nothing better for your hair.

Just for clarification on the whole animal testing thing... any product you buy has ingredients that have been tested on animals. They wouldn't be on the market if they weren't. Little thing called the FDA. However, final products are rarely tested on animals (i.e., you won't walk into a lab and see a rat with lipstick on :p). When you see "Not tested on animals" what it REALLY means is "Final product not tested on animals."

By the way, valkyrie, I'm not pissed off :)

Actually, the law does not require that products be tested on animals. I don't mean to hijack this thread, but if you want to learn more about it, you can check with the National Anti-Vivisection Society.

i just have to put my plug in for thermasilk. i used to use pantene and i never really had a problem with it, but my hair was definately really dry....of course i have naturally dry hair bc no matter what shampoo i have ever used i have always had to use a ton of conditioner....until the day i tried thermasilk. one of my students used to use it and while i was out shopping for it for her, i picked up a bottle for me. i LOVE it. i hardly use conditioner any more. this is awesome considering i used to use 2 bottles of conditioner to every one bottle of shampoo.

that sounds like me - - the 2 bottles of conditioner to 1 of shampoo... but i've tried thermasilk before and i LOVED it... biolage i like but don't usually have the money for (i go through the stuff so damn quick)...pantene i've ALWAYS loved, but now you've got me weary...hmmm...maybe i'll have to try Fructis.. if that doesn't work out, does anyone have any suggestions for REALLY curly, REALLY coarse hair that can only be washed 1-2 times a week because of how dry it is??

Wow! I have just been enlightened about Pantene products. I don't use them because I don't like the way they make my hair, but I was shocked learning about the wax contained in the product. I am a fan of Therma Silk also. I also like Redkin (I think that's how you spell it) for when my hair first gets highlighted. It smells good, works good, but it is a little pricey.

I'm addicted to Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Shampoo. It smells fantastic and my scalp loves it!

i usually use thermasilk and i love it, but I'm using pantene until the stuff i have runs out becasue my hair doesn't not like me usuing the same products for more than 3or 4 months at a time. whatever you do son't use Herbal Esseneces. My dad used to always buy that stuff and it's horrible.

I've used Pantene for years. I like it because my hair is relaxed so it tends to dry out and Pantene really seemed to nourish it. I liked the results I got and I always LOVE how my hair smells after I wash it. :o I have not seen the Pantene line for relaxed hair around these parts. I would've tried them had I not read this thread.

I usually switch to another shampoo and conditioner every few months because "they" say you should since your hair will get used to the ones you are using and you wont see great results anymore. But, I usually go right back to using Pantene. I have been noticing my hair falling out lately, but figured it was stress...

I'll have to try Biolage. I tried Therma Silk but didn't really like it. I can't even remember why. Maybe I just preferred Pantene at the time.

I just bought L'Oreal's Vive smooth-intense shampoo and conditioner and it made my hair feel really soft so I may continue to use that. I also bought the Garnier Fruitesse(sp) also and I'll check to see how that makes my hair feel too.

I will probably toss out my pantene shampoos/conditioners or use them as a manicure soak.
