Why Long Hair?

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.

Some people find that Pantene conditioners weigh their hair down. This is not a problem I’ve had, but it’s what I’m hearing from others.

Since my hair has not been professionally trimmed in about two years, it’s hard to say if Pantene causes a lot of breakage. I do have some split ends, and I do trim them every here and there, so I’ll have to wait until I try a different brand to check for a difference.

Of course, with any shampoo or conditioner your results will vary from mine. These things are very personal and depend on a lot of factors.
