Pantene’s ’extra straight’ line..

Hey!  I'll have to try this stuff.  My hair loves to defy hair tools and control products... but I have found in the past, pantene really does the trick!  Years ago I was using some sort of conditioning treatment... It really brought the hair together... It felt more uniform and smelled ohhhhsogood.  Pantene is kind of heavy so it's good for those who need that extra weight.  Woah, I think they should pay me for such acclaim...

Thanks for the idea.  

I started using that shampoo and it worked great (with no strange curling at the ends), just so you know.  If you have unruly hair it is perfect.  

Hi, I'm a bit doubtful abt wht products I should use. I've been using Pantene for years. I've had thick, straight, smooth and silky hair. But now it's getting coarse and uneven and tends to b frizzy. The result, my hair's less silky than it used to be. Is this becoz of -cones or Ammonium Laureth Sulfate & Ammonium Lauryl Sulphate? Herbal Essence containing Sodium Laureth Sulphate & Sodium Lodium Lauryl Sulphate makes my hair a bit rough and dry. I haven't tried Garnier Fructis yet. As far as I've discovered, my hair is cone loving and I still love Pantene as only this neatly moisturizes my hair, makes it touchably soft and makes my hair silkier than any other products has ever done. Just in case, I'd like to add that my hair gets oily/sebumy at the top within 2-3 days of shampooing (though I think tht the sebum, which I call 'natural oil' is actually good for my hair). The main problem is, I'm havin Coarse, uneven and frizzy hair which lacks the smooth sleek look. What should I do?? Please Help Me Out.

Make sure you use cool to cold water to wash your hair and leave in the conditioner for at least 5 minutes before rinsing.  Try using less shampoo too.  Avoid blow dryers as much as possible, but don't go to sleep with your hair wet!

Since this change has happened over time, this might also be an internal problem, not a shampoo problem.  The best thing to do is to make sure you are healthy and follow a healthy diet as well as avoiding stress.  Mental anguish and stress etc cause your hair to grow out unhealthy and frizzy.  So just relax and try not to think too much about your hair.  Try to keep combing to only when it is really necessary.  I noticed that when I stop worrying about my hair and combing it less makes it turn out better.  Hope this helps.

You know, I colored my hair the other day with GarnierColor and I absolutely loved the little conditioner that came box. It left my hair so soft..

I think I'll give their sleek and smooth line a try. It may be worth it.
