Pantene Shampoo and Conditioner

> I have been using Pantene off and on for at least 4 years and I do like the shine and healthy feel my hair has.....but after a short while, it does build up and I start having major bad hair days. (My hair is also thin and fine.) I started using the new Replenishing Shampoo and Conditioner by Neutrogena for daily use (not the once a week kind) and I cannot belive how much better my hair looks and feels. It's like using a gentle clarifying shampoo every day, so you have a "clean slate", but it doesn't strip your color or dry your hair out, or build up. And the conditioner has many of the same wonderful ingredients found in the Pantene (panthenol, etc.)...it's very moisturizing but it doesn't weigh the hair down. You've GOT to try it - if you like the Pantene you'll LOVE this stuff. I've had so many people asking me what I'm doing differently, and that my hair has never looked so healthy. It was visibly different the first time I used it, but it seems to get better each day. Best of luck!I have been reading some of the older messages about> Pantene shampoo.

I have found that Alterna products are very good for the hair. It leaves it soft, shiny, and flat, without frizzies. My hair is thick and semi-curly, and Alterna works like a charm every time after i blow-dry my hair straight. Definitely my favorite!

Holly.....hi! Did you get my message at your personal email address? ~ DebiDebi,> Hi,> Can you tell me if the Replenishing shampoo and> conditioner> have silicones in them? I live in France but can order> some, but I would like to know about the silicones or> hopefully lack thereof first.> Thanks,> Holly

> What side effects does pantene have so i can warn my> boyfriend who uses this religiously???I have read in some of the other sites on this website that long periods of using Pantene has made people's hair dry. They say that silicone which is an ingredient in Pantene, will do this. But, I also have heard others say that they have used Pantene for a long time and they love it. So it is hard to know what to do. I guess if your boyfriend doesn't have a problem, then it is all right. You might want to go to Hair Search on this sight and look up Pantene shampoo and read all those messages.

Big time buildup and potentially ultimate breakage. Too many guys have started using Pantene. It's a poor brand.What side effects does pantene have so i can warn my> boyfriend who uses this religiously???
