PANTENE Pro-V is not a good hair product! - Hair Problems Message Board

Just-A-Boy · 02-02-2004, 04:12 AM

In my personal experiences with hair care products I learned a lot of my mistakes, and now even my best friend who is professional hair colorist has taught me, what hair products to use, and I've seen improvements. Moreover, I want to share my opinions with you people.

First off, PANTENE Pro-V is advertised everywhere. On TV's and Magazines. However, PANTENE Pro-V is not a good hair product WHY? Because it only contains Pathenol (Vitamin B5) and that is about it.

Other over-counter shampoos and conditiners we buy at the drug stores, are no different from Pantene Pro-V, they all contain Panthenol, and maybe even two herbal extracts.

My hair always felt dry, and damaged… so I turned to my best friend, and she recommended salon brand shampoos and conditioners. Therefore, I tried all Organic Shampoo that contained NO Alcohol, and my hair improved so much after using it. It was not dry any longer, and I finally had control.

I also learned to buy conditioners that contained Amino Acids, and/or Glucose and good potent herbal extracts. YOUR HAIR NEEDS PROTEIN! I know Salon brand products are expensive, but I personally think they are worth the price.

I hope this article was helpful… and any one wants to share their experiences on Professional Hair Care products, will be gratefully appreciated.

My mom's hair stylist and mine both say it's a bad product. Yes, it makes your hair nice and pretty, I loved it. But what it really does is break your hair down, so when you stop using it, your hair is really damaged.

I agree that Pantene Pro-V is an awful product!!! I used to use it and it took me two years to find out it was killing my hair. My hair went from shiny, silky, soft to lifeless, rough-feeling, and tangled! Plus it was falling out sooo much!!! All that stopped when I switched to products by Kerastase! So, now I don't ever use Pantene! But, I can't afford Kerastase in general...so I try other brands that are cheaper. For a few months I've been happy enough using Down Under Naturals. I like the Papaya scented for damaged hair. Yes, now I have to get the kind for damaged hair all because Pantene damaged my hair!!! What's interesting though is how much Pantene is advertised and how many people say they love it! I don't get it....At least I'm not crazy, since there are many others who agree that it sucks!!!
