in actuality I would trust that Pantene know what they are doing since they are one of the most bought hair products and also they are backed by a HUGE company who can afford to research stuff....
The funniest thing is when people are trying to tell you to not use pantene because it has silicones in it and then tell me to use some salon brand and I read the ingredients on the salon brand and tell them it also has silicones....but yet they still won't shut up....silly people...
It's also funny when they use the line "it only masks damage" because hair is dead....it doesn't regenerate so really all you can do is mask damage and only repair it a teeny tiny bit..

Stay away from serums hair sprays etc that contain silicone. And do not flat iron.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the title of this thread! I think one of the best things you can do is to avoid straightening your hair, I haven't straightened mine since 2005 and now my hair is past my chest and in terrific condition. I even try to avoid blowdying it (which can be difficult, especially like now when it's cold and I don't want to run around with wet hair), and I notice my hair is always a little worse for wear even just from blow drying it. I realise avoiding styling tools forever isn't practical for some but if you can do it your hair will thank you for it!
Re: Pantene, I've always been led to believe that the high amounts of silicone are the reason it gets a bad rep. Apparently it's out of favour amongst hairdressers because long-term Pantene users can have problems colouring their hair because their hair is so coated with chemicals that the colour doesn't stick. However I don't understand why it's just Pantene that is considered bad because I'm sure lots of other shampoos would contain similar ingredients. However even a lot of hairdressers here say the same thing about Pantene, I'm no expert so I assume they know what they're talking about. Doesn't bother me because I don't use it anyway

(probably nothing you haven't heard already) Hope all goes well! |

I'm trying to cut back on straightening as well cuz my hair is FRIED! and I want it longer...
That is stupid about the Pantene...the silicones can wash out with a clarifying shampoo so, really there is no worry about build up...
