Hi everyone!I'm sure that by now most people are aware of the "new" Ultra-V Pantene that has hit the market. Well, I have a little experience to share with you all. Due to my husbands crazy shift work, I spent the last four days with my mother. Now although I usually use ARTec Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner, I decided to leave it home and savew some packing room. My mother, a Pantene user from way back, had just resupplied her shower with the "new" Pantene. She had the Shampoo and Cond. in one for dry hair and the daily treatment for dry hair (as normmally). Anyway, the first thing I noticed was the new smell. No lie-- it smells just like the cat box deoderizer from Glade that I use in my kitty's box. I even had mom compare the two and she agreed. Next, I noticed that the ingred. were somewhat different, mostly less silicone and Ammonium Xylenosulfate has move to last on the list. Anyway, I used this stuff for four days and by the fourth day I had had enough! My hair was frizzy and rough! I have used the old Pantene before and had never had a problem (actually I loved the smell of the original and how it lingered all day), but this new stuff is aweful. Now, what gets me is why Procter and Gamble would want to change ANYTHING about the #1 selling shampoo out there? Again, although I have always chosen salon brands over drug store products, I always enjoyed an occasional shampoo with one of my favorite childhood scents! Too bad Pantene :( -- you had it all together at one time!Sherry

Hi Sherry,Thanks for sharing. I was very curiose about these product and am glad I did not buy them. I think the reason P&G changed the formula is because some people were complaing that the origional formula caused buildup. That's why many of the ultra-V products say 'shampoo only'. This is the same thinking that created the new neutogena 'clean' products. What always tempts me about pantene is how shiny the hair in the adds look. I want that so bad. I'm sick about hearing about products that soften hair. I just want shine. O.K., I'm rambling now but this is one of my favorite subjects.
