Post How many use Pantene shampoo and conditioner?

Hi I just wanted to know how many GCers use Pantene Shampoos and Conditioners?

I have tried to use it and every time I wash and condition my hair it feels like it has some kind of wax or something on it. Somtimes I have to re-wash my hair with a different shampoo and use a different conditioner to make my hair feel better. I have never gotten the results like on the commercials. I'm studying marketing and I should know by now that the commercials use either lighting or the models probably have a clear rinse on their hair. It's just when I see the commercial I think hey I want my hair to look healthy and shiny.

Please let me know any of your results.
Thanks

FSS

I hate it, it always makes my hair staticky.

Try Garnier Fructisse....it just got to the U.S., but its been available in Europe and Mexico for awhile. It is amazing.

i use it....and my hairdresser and every other in-the-know hair person hates it. apparently, it does have some kind of wax in it, so that's why i guess you feel all that. but personally, i love it. i like their deep conditioners and all that......but i think the main problem is that it contributes to split ends (which, i have to tame all the time....so). but, when it's all fixed and stuff....i think it looks good.
if it's not working for ya, you're not the only one. it seems to go with my hair ok, though....try biolage products b/c they are reeeally good or that physique stuff.

I use the 2-in-1 and I love it. People always tell me that I have really nice, shiny hair, and my hair always feels good. Looks like I'm in the minority here, though.

Pantene just came out with a line of products for African American hair called Relaxed & Natural. It's designed to use on both relaxed and natural tresses (like the name states). I love Pantene's fragrance, but I've been told not to use it on my hair. I hope this line smells the same!!

No way, I swear by Pantene. It works for me.

I've had multiple hair stylists tell me that Pantene is bad for you because it contains parafin wax (what makes your hair shiny) which builds up on your hair and causes it to break. And that makes sense to me. Personally, I have never used it.

I use & like Pantene, and get a lot of compliments on my hair. My hairdresser tells me that anytime you see a word starting with "para" it means that there's paraffin in it. Is there paraffin in the pomade that they use to style it? I've never bought that, but I love the way my hair looks with it - very "swingy"!

I love Biolage!! I use their Conditioning Balm and it leaves my hair so soft and pretty. I just ran out and have been using Herbal Essence conditioner for a few days now and Gosh, that stuff is so waxy. My stylist told me that all the stuff you buy at the grocery store is 99% water and waxy substance. That's why it's only $3 a bottle. I definitely recommend Biolage for everyone. The conditioning balm may not be right for you, but they have other shampoo and conditioning products for different hair types.

Yo, herbal essences sucks the fat one. I hate that! It smells good, sure, but that doesn't even last long when you get out of the shower.

That sucks that Pantene breaks your hair though...I might try Biolage out since y'all think it is better.

DO NOT USE PANTENE!!
It has the same PH level as a lemon. Totally destroys your hair. Try a litmus test if you don't believe me!

Hmm maybe I will invest in some of this. I have this weird thing with my shampoo. I use it until I get about halfway through the bottle and then I can't even open it anymore b/c the smell makes me so incredibly nauseous. No matter WHAT kind of shampoo/conditioner I use. And it really sucks when it happens with the big bottles of Bed head stuff and Biolage. But I am always on the lookout for new shampoos since I change it like every two weeks. Needless to say I have quite the collection of half empty shampoo and conditioner bottles....my mom uses them to give our doggies baths usually.
