Why Long Hair?

Gaaah! My hair loathed this stuff.

I had the worst hair day I’ve had in years using the Aussie Moist Shampoo and the Conditioner. I mean seriously! I know the weather probably didn’t help - dry and very cold for my area, but still! I’ve never had my hair feel like wires before. And the breakage!

I was actually surprised by my hair’s negative reaction this time because it’s a product I’ve used in the past. Most days this time around my results were what I would call adequate but not exceptional. (There is more where this came from … )

Many people who read about caring for long hair are warned not to use conditioners with silicone products in them. These are products such as Dimethicone and Cyclomethicone, which are found in many conditioners.

On the other hand, many people with long hair have used such products for years with few problems. So who’s right? (There is more where this came from … )

Pantene is a brand I’ve used for years. My usual routine with shampoos is to rotate brands regularly, as my hair seems to prefer this. However, I’ve found that my hair likes Pantene better than average, and I can go through a couple bottles without switching brands without feeling a buildup.

Right now I use Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal, and I’m still not showing any signs of buildup well into my second bottle.

Some people look at the ingredient list and don’t like what they see. Many people with long hair prefer to avoid the aluminum sulfate (a fairly harsh cleanser) Pantene often uses for cleaning as well as the silicone products they use in their conditioners. I haven’t been investigating these things for long, but certainly haven’t had a problem. (There is more where this came from … )
