New Pantene/silicones Printed From: HairBoutique.com Category: The HairTalk® Archives Forum Name: Hair Talk Archive Forum Description: All the old Hair Talk Messages...

Recently Pantene changed the formula of its Pro-V line to decrease the amount of cyclomethicone in the conditioner. However, I noticed that now the primary ingredient in the conditioner is cyclopentasiloxane. I am not sure that that is but I think it is also some kind of polymer. So my question is, is cyclopentasiloxane any better for your hair than cyclomethicone/dimethicone, or did they just go from one damaging product to another? Replies:
