I still use all their products. If you have a build up on your hair (all shampoos/conditioners will leave a build up over time) I was always told to wash your hair in vinegar. This will remove the build up on your hair, then just return to your normal shampoo. Thanks to Pantene, I feel as though my hair is so much more healthier. Go to this site to read about the uses of vinegar. I love Pantene, it did wonders for my hair when I went thru chemo and radiation several years ago. I still use all their products.

I've used their conditioner for years, and it doesn't make my hair fall out or feel waxy. After hearing these stories, I decided to try Tressemme conditioner, and at first it worked great, but after a while it felt too slippery to style. Also I notice my hair does seem to be shedding more with Tressemme. Needless to say, I'm going back to Pantene! I don't think I'll ever switch again. If somethings not broken, why fix it?! Pantene is simply the best. ;) I love Pantene! I’ve used their conditioner for years, and it doesn’t make my hair fall out or feel waxy.

First let me say I am so excited to see the conversations that have sparked from this Press Release. My name is Ashley, and I work for the Pantene Brand in Social Media. My job is to get out there and help bridge the gap between our consumers and the brains behind our products. I knew this press release would get people talking, and even asking more questions than ever before, and for me that is a success. For starters- I hear you! All of You! Sometimes corporate answers and responses can be stoic and filled with SOOO much information to the point where there's no information at all! LOL...The Myth Buster was created to dispel that horrible rumor started in the Professional Hair industry about Wax in our Pantene, and it really wasn't meant to truly get into the science of it all. But I am certainly listening, and I will be meeting with a few of our Scientists in the future, with the hopes of getting more of our information out there to be clearer about our process. A few added pieces of info would be that some beauty care formulas contain Lanolin and Fatty Alcohols that when formulated into a beauty care product like a shampoo, they are very moisturizing and leave the hair soft and smooth with less friskiness. Also, our shampoos and conditioners contain cetyl and stearyl alcohols which provide rich moisturization and hair protection benefits. However - our research concludes that these ingredients do not weigh hair down and are easily washed off with the next shampooing. To help answer a few more of the questions I saw above: Hair Loss- Hair loss is normal and is a continuous process, and Pantene does NOT cause hair loss or accelerate natural hair shedding. If you or anyone else has felt like you've experienced this with our product, we urge you to give us a call at 1.866.606.4682 9a-6p EST because we would like to better understand your experience. SLS/SLES (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate/ Sodium Laureth Sulfate) - If SLS or SLES is added to the formula, it will be listed in the Ingredient Statement on the label. SLS/SLES is a very safe and effective ingredient with very good cleaning properties. We are not aware of any harmful effects associated with the use of SLS/SLES in consumer products. These supposed safety concerns stem from some misquoted research and have no scientific basis. A search of scientific literature found nothing supporting the allegation that this causes cancer. I recommend visiting the Personal Care Council site, www.personalcarecouncil.org as well as the American Cancer Society site, www.cancer.org for more information. Another good site to reference would be our very own P&G Beauty Science site, which is filled with tons and tons of ingredient information and much much more. www.pgbeautyscience.com I know this was a bit winded, but I read through every last comment and I really wanted to share the information I had, and I certainly hope this helps. I am in the process of migrating our Twitter accounts, so look out for the new Pantene Twitter, where I will be giving tons of more info daily regarding the science, promotions, etc. Happy Discussions! -AshleyatPantene Hey Guys!
