I've been growing my hair out for 3 years to donate to Beautiful Lengths. It's now reaching my hips. I have used Pantene conditioner because REAL professionals (with degrees, not someone with a license in cosmetology after having gone to school for two years) have said it works. I have brilliant shiny, soft hair with NO split ends whatsoever. I've only gotten it trimmed once to even it out, and the stylist kept saying how beautiful and healthy it was. When I told her what I used, she, of course, told me it was no good. Well, obviously it is - I have beautiful, healthy hair and she had terrible, unhealthy, brittle hair. The other products you use can attribute as well. I don't use anything on my hair (I'm "blessed" with hair that looks good when I wake up with just a little finger-combing) - not even heat to dry it. I leave it in a towel until mostly dry and then let it air dry the rest of the way. I get frizz because it's incredibly thick and coarse and it's humid down here, but I just use a leave-in conditioner/frizz treatment once in a while. I believe the most important "product" for hair is good nutrition. If one product worked perfectly for everyone, we'd all be using it. But don't discount the word of the scientific community based on anecdotal "evidence." I guess I have to add my own anecdotal evidence to the batch.

Hair stylists have ALWAYS downed products sold in stores but not in hair salons. It's how they make their money. They try and convince you that THEIR products are better, so buy from ME. Wouldn't you? Pantene Ice Shine is the best. I do alternate between different shampoos, because it has been my experience that they work better when given a "break". However, I don't think salon brands are any better than a good brand sold in stores. Anyway, haven't you noticed that brands sold only in salons are eventually sold in Target and Wal-Mart, lol. Same as prescription drugs make it to shelves after the prescription-only industry squeezes enough money out of it. People, use some common sense here.
