I find Loreal everpure works great too. Just my experience. Thanks for your comment! The problems with Pantene come from long-term use although product buildup on the air begins at the first use. Your hair will feel great and look great at first, but eventually it will become weighed-down, limp, harder to manage, etc. This is a myth and has been debunked. Ingredient for ingredient, pantene is pretty much identical to the pricey olaplex that stylists are currently obsessed with.
If anyone has a layer of wax on their head that is sticking to scissors… it is because that person is just dirty or has build up of styling products.
Not from shampoo or conditioner. My own hair reacts the same way; there is definitely a problem with the formula. Wow, I thought pantene was the best shampoo but now after all of your experiences i think i should look for other options. Well my hair use to be healthy pantene made it softer when i switched now 5 years later it there lots of hair loss..
No body no more.. Just bleh. And i use no heat products or dye my hair. Have there been any other changes that could have contributed to your hair loss like stress, diet, etc,? If not, then your issue could have been a result of product build-up or ingredients in the shampoo you were using.
This is especially true of cheaper products or products that are not right for your hair type and needs. Product build-up is the main culprit because it can damage the hair follicle causing the hair to fall out, which may or may not come back.
Suave is one of the cheapest shampoo brands you can buy. Pantene made my hair fall out. I was starting to think I was having thyroid issues. It was that shampoo. I will never use that crap again. I am just hoping my hair recovers and thickens back up. I use the Pantene charcoal shampoo and conditioner and they work great, I think the brand turned over a new leaf with this line and it has no wax or silicone. Everything in moderation….
I have the worst time with build up and crunchiness. Then I found a Pantene that appeared to work for me. I tried giving up the Pantene and my hair was so dry the ends with break off by merely touching my hair. It took lots of trims and growing out to get my curls back. My hair is dull and lifeless after using Pantene as it was 15 years ago when I used it.
I know, there are a lot of you out there that use it and love it. A few reasons: A The waxy texture left on my hands after handling hair that has weeks, months, to years of Pantene use on it. C Being able to comb through it while wet but after blow-drying, hair gets baked together from whatever substance is in there and you struggle to detangle it.. I think what you mean is….
I used Pantene and in no way do my hands feel any waxy. Hair is actually manageable. And no… There are no dust as you claim. I have been using Pantene because I like the way if makes my hair feel better than the more expensive brands. Your hairstylist can do a pre-color clarifying treatment or you can use something like Paul Mitchell Shampoo Three at home.
I use it once every other week sometimes more often, sometimes less often. Professionally, I just give my clients my opinion about products, their routine, coloring, etc. The reason why people think Pantene makes their hair feel good is because of the wax deposits. Steaming, moisture dripping, not lifting properly and toner doing absolute bleep all.
So true! Have you ever seen a video of someone literally scraping the buildup off the hair from using Pantene?! I use to like Pantene alot. It was always a staple hair wash to grab in the store until recently. I had been experiencing what I can only describe as chronic dandruff. My scalp would build up large amounts of skin that were highly visible and peel like a bad case of dandruff. I was always unsure why as I wash my hair at least 3 times a week the recommended amount and even sometimes with anti — dandruff shampoos.
All of this happened when I was using Pantene. I began to turn to the fact that maybe it was my trusty hairwash causing these problems. So I switched hair wash and within days my dandruff case was completely gone. I could wear my usual style of a part down the middle and my head no longer resembled a snow globe. I tried a few more different hair washes and no dandruff. So i switched back to Pantene just to see and YUP! The next morning I woke up with that same build up on my scalp.
I had the same experience with patches of thick skin buildup I thought I had horrible psoriasis but dermatologist said nope! My hair was also coming out by the handfuls. Smooth, full hair and healthy scalp again.
NOT worth the damage to your scalp or hair…. Hair that has been in contact with WEN products feels completely different from everyone […]. Your email address will not be published. Well water, medication etc. My scalp bubbled from the burns. It was awful. Now, I only use Organix or Renpure," one Facebook user wrote. Same thing happened to me, very scary," another recalled.
There are even several discussion threads — from , , and — where people complain about the negative effects they attribute to the brand's products, which range from burning incidents to hair loss. Despite the number of complaints, we couldn't uncover any scientific evidence that proves Pantene is at fault in any of these incidents. And the experts we spoke with didn't seem to be convinced of the claims.
She explains that placing the blame on the ingredients misses the mark. However it looks pretty good now. Although others may not have had the same experience, I used it for 4 weeks. It left a gooey type of trail on my hairline. I use GKhair moisturizing shampoo that is sulfate free for my dry, brittle and dull hair that are so prone to fall and break so easily. I use this very shampoo for the past 3 years and it did wonders on my dull hair.
I would highly recommend it to anyone who is suffering from dry, brittle and dull hair and wants to have beautiful, healthy and shiny hair. Think this must be as important as the ingredients. The pH is about 6. The ingredients are really much more important. Sir i am a boy of 18 years Have never straighten my hairs nor i use to apply any gel or anything which damages hair But still, whenever i use to shampoo, i see around hairs on my hand and maybe other hairs may fallen, and whenever i apply oil Dabur almond hair oil i use to apply it daily at night, i notice around hairs on my hand and some hairs use to come on my shoulders So can pantene stop this hair fall?
Or please suggest anyother shampoo that can help me Coz i am seriously worried about my hairs I have almost straight and little dry hairs and my hairstyle is, i use make my hair stand from both the sides. The only kind of hair fall that Pantene can stop is that caused by damage like brushing and combing. Anyhow, just wanted to thank the Randy Schueller for providing help to consumers. I appreciate the website.
Keep up the good work! Hi Randy. Im new to Pantene and just love it! Would you happen to have any suggestions on what to buy? I have curly frizzy dry hair and sometimes straighten it. Im looking for shampoo and conditioner, leave in conditioner, shiny serum, and long lasting scent for my hair!
Are these the right things I should be looking for? Do I need all of these things? And what Pantene products do you suggest? My hair was always short, never got it much longer than to my shoulders. Finally, couple years ago I buzzed it all off, deciding to start over—no coloring, straightening, or blow-drying—just let it grow. It reaches the middle of my shoulder blades now, and Pantene is no longer working. My curls have become unmanagable, frizzy, and so consistently breaking I nearly cut all my hair off again due to how frustrating it had been.
After asking me what shampoo I used and hearing I used Pantene, she did tell me they used plastics. I needed to look into it. I would buy purely from natural stores if I could afford to. But, Pantene is just fine. I used pantene for almost 20 years.. I have baby fine hair and have been using Pantene Shampoo and Conditioner. My hair looks and feels thicker. I think my hair is addicted to Pantene.
Now my eyes and brain hurt from an information and opinion overload… Lets just simplify the facts. Artificial chemicals are bad for humans, chemicals are man made poisons. Some chemicals can harbour bacteria that is completely alien to earth and exist only because of human interference with nature eg: diesel and petrol can harbour bacteria once the chemical stabilizers break down or evaporate.
Any cosmetic products are capable of the same bacterial breakdown. But at the end of the day some people are fitness and health fanatics and get cancer in their twenties, some people smoke, drink heavily and are exposed to highly toxic environments at work every day of their life and the live forever.
If you want silky hair that smells like a cupids armpit use pantene. The world is driven by greed and lies but at the end of the day my hair and my Rottweiler smell like cupids armpits and shine like optic fibres. I have accepted Jesus Christ into my life as my Savior so a bit of chemical here or there will only get me by His side faster anyway. This world is temporary and anyone who has bothered to see what the Bible says will know these are the final days and the only thing that matters is the Salvation of your soul!
Thanks for stating your beliefs about beauty products. Thank you. Used as a surfactant and foaming agent, sodium laurel sulfate is a strong skin irritant and produces nitrosamine, a substance linked to cancer formation.
Nitrosamine can be formed in the production of some surfactants but the levels are carefully controlled so this is not an issue. I use to like Pantene alot.

I tried a few more different hair washes and no dandruff. So i switched back to Pantene just to see and YUP! The next morning I woke up with that same build up on my scalp.
I have been using Pantene for at least fifteen years. I have hair to my waist that is extremely thick. I have always received compliments on my hair for the look, smell and feel of it. I have been to salons where the stylists have tried to convince me on how bad it was.
It never phased me. I would go home and go right back to my Pantene. I have had no desire to try any other product because I have been so happy with Pantene. Unfortunately, something has changed in the last few months. The more I shower, the oilier it looks. I actually called the store where I bought it, thinking it had been tampered with. I explained that I believed kids had mixed baby oil in it. After buying several different bottles with the same result. I came to the conclusion that it was in fact the Pantene that was making my hair look like this.
The fragrance also has seemed to of changed. To my disappointment, I had to start trying other brands. She was saddened and relieved at the same time because she was experiencing the same thing with her hair.
I have been a loyal customer for many, many years and would love to go back to using it. Untill then I will settle for these other brands. I used Pantene Pro V for one week. It made my hair feel and look beautiful. I had to stop and use a clarifying shampoo.
It still did not work so I moved on to the original Head and Shoulders. No more buildup, my hair felt so clean, and there was no smelly scalp.
I guess it depends on the type of hair and scalp an individual has. I loved it but it was not fit for oily scalps like mine. Pantene made my hair dry like straw and my hair would never grow past my shoulders without breaking off when I used that. Glad I switched to something with healthier ingredients, my hair has been thick, strong and healthy since I stopped using store-bought hair products.
I just switched back to V05 yesterday and no more tingling and only about 50 hairs fell out after washing instead of Please help. My hair has always been my pride and joy. I figured since it is pretty damn healthy, it could deal with some bleach damage.
And I figured the master stylist who did all the color-corrections would know how much would be too much. I was wrong, and now I want to burst into tears every time I look at my hair or touch it. What should i do to regrow hair? Why does Pantene make your hair fall out is my question because otherwise I love it! My hair falls out by hand full when I use it.
Actually I used pantene shampoo years ago and after my hair fell out I had a bald spot and had to cover it. Never again will i use pantene shampoo research it. I thought this was a serious blog, but all I can see is that it is managed by someone who is being sponsored by Pantene.
What a waste of my time!! Hi Rosie. TBH, Pantene only works for those with frizzy hair. And yes, it makes my hair verrry itchy and greasy. Pantene is for the frizzy only. Instead of using coconut oil, this is what Pantene is for.. Well to begin with, your actual strands of hair are basically dead. Hair health begins with what you eat and how you treat your body.
You need a vitamin rich, balanced diet. From there, you need to protect your head of hair. On some of the natural stuff, my hair tangled terribly. With other options in one particular range, it was slightly better, but I still needed leave-in conditioner and hair oil to prevent knotting. My hair knots like crazy and splits no matter what I use. Time will tell. I do use a hot oil treatment of coconut oil, olive oil, vitamin e oil and castor oil every week or two.
Makes a big difference no matter what shampoo and conditioner I use. Bottom line, eat well, and find products that work for you and protect the hair shaft. A friend just last week texted me and asked me what I use on my hair because I have ridiculously awesome hair.
I remembered this post and seeing Randy say in other places that they were well formulated products and I told him to give Pantene a try, which is cheaper and easily found. This was from the ASA, do you know who they are? Did I miss something? My personal experience with Pantene has been awful. I have very thick, curly hair. Pantene makes my hair so greasy, frizzy, damaged looking, many strands of hair fall out more than any other shampoo I used, my scalp itches so bad, and my curls turn into knots.
If it works for you guys that wonderful but I would not recommend Pantene to anyone. I have just found this website! Looks very interesting! I am on my final year of my Biomolecular Sciences degree. I have modules of Genetics, Immunology, Microbiology, Cellular Biology, etc, so even though I love Science and understand it my Chemistry knowledge is of course very limited. I think people need to stop being rude. The arrogance in some of these posts is unbelievable.
Thank you Randy for the facts and the Science! You need to change up your shampoos frequently. Hair masks and serums are the things that are going to give you long term results. Hi Simone. Actually the idea that your hair becomes immune to shampoo is a myth. I have a bachelors degree in Microbiology and am applying to doctoral programs now and I just got lectured by my hairdresser for using Pantene. My hair is very long and in great condition. I am glad I found this website.
My stylist got me nervous because she told me that Pantene is horrible and urged me to try something else…not happening! Hello Randy. Why is that so? Can I use a Pantene conditioner with my sulfate-free shampoo? But I still want to know if my shampoo will work with pantene conditioner. Hi Renato. In most cases you can mix shampoos and conditioners of different brands and they will work just fine. I have dry curly hair. I am 54 now so I color it. I also have a background in Cosmetology and chemical treatment.
I loved Optimum Olive Repair but it is no longer sold in my area. So I tried Pantene Repair and Protect. I love it just as much. Just for the record, silicone is great for my hair. It works on frizz by coating the hair shaft. My hair looks great and I will never change. Not even for Optimum. I will make a suggestion though for those who get build-up. Just mix a teaspoon of baking soda in your shampoo once a month.
Then shampoo again and condition. There ya go. Build up under control without going to the hair shops for expensive clarifying treatments.
They will not let a competitor have a better product than theirs. Yet people waste billions on department store brands that are no better. Stay away from department store cosmetic counters. The stuff costs pennies to make; the big expense is advertising to try to con you into thinking the products are exclusive and somehow better.
Do you really think they are going to let a competitor have something better? The sales women at department store counters are on commission. Plus they know zero about skin, hair, color cosmetics. So, Recently, I had asked my beautician to recommend a product for my 9 yr. Old daughters hair — she recommended Pantene. Guess what? My daughters hair experienced severe breakage, Splint ends and Dry itchy scalp.
Initially when I started using the Pantene products, I liked the way my hair looked and felt, however over few months I have noticed my hair just like the other reviewers indicated, got thinner weird thinness, that is just out of place, and the scalp would start to itch severely in the areas where the hair is turning thin. The hair strands start to look like a stringy gelatinous mess, instead of normal hair.
Moreover just like most of the reviewers indicated, I have never experienced the amount of hair falling out in the shower, after I started using Pantene Products. Stylist here. I was also taught in school that certain products coat the hair, Pantene being the worst of all. Including my first big salon visit when I was suggested Pantene but then my hair started to break off during highlights?
I would really like to better inform my clients. I have to say this but Pantene and I are not friends.
I have also noticed that the ingredients are mostly natural. I have fine thin hair that gets greasy the next day. I have used everything from aussie to Kevin Murphy and everything in between; honestly none really perform better than the others. Nothing has transformed my hair from fine and thin to luscious and thick. I still have to wash everyday or wear my hair up. Pantene is too heavily fragranced for me. I bought the Pantene Volume shampoo and conditioner…It obviously stripped my hair of anything i had on it…My hair is just about impossible to brush out after showering..
Never again will I use this horrible product… I use mane n tail it is very good has a nice lather. So I was told years ago by my stylist friend to never use Pantene because it was bad for your hair. It was starting to fall out really bad too. I am mad at myself for listening to someone else. As someone else previously said, I think it depends on the person.
We are all not the same. For me, I love it! Patent 2 in 1shampoo has literally made my scalp so itchy and has caused me to lose a. Inch of my hair. It is horrible. Then you should use a different shampoo. Some people are allergic to ingredients that are fine for most other people. It is very true. I used Pantene for almost a year.
I went to the hair salon to have my layered and I told her how dry my hair and scalp has been and my hair is falling out. She even noticed my hair felt waxy. My hair was once beautiful.
Now I am afraid of loosing all of my hair because of the Pantene shampoo. Some stylists tell you things like that because they want you to buy expensive salon brands.
I typically use lush, but not everyone is down for bar shampoos so after having guests i bought a huge bottle from sams for them to enjoy. I started using it and yes the shampoo smells great. But i noticed my hair has been falling out a lot more after using it, and i mean a lot.
I got tested for thyroid disease, pcos, and diabetes to see if that was the cause. It was not, I have none of that. I will not be using pantene in the future and i especially will not be using it after reading the condescending comments from Randy Schueller. When I used Pantene shampoo and conditioner my hair started to fall out. My hair was always my best feature, in my opinion.
I always had bottles of each in the bathroom. Over the past year, for whatever reason, I stuck with Pantene. After a couple of months of using only Pantene, I noticed that my scalp became very itchy all the time, to the point where I was looking for lice! None, thankfully. I also noticed acne-like pimples, like whiteheads, would appear here and there on my scalp. Most alarmingly, the hair on the crown of my head was clearly thinning significantly.
I blamed it on my age late 60s. I never thought to blame the Pantene. So I stopped using it. Within a day or two my scalp no longer itched and the pimples disappeared. Within a couple of months, the hair on the crown of my head was obviously getting fuller, the way it used to be.
Do I blame Pantene for my problems? Not at all. Was my problem an individual allergy or something that cropped up after my having used it on and off for years?
I have fine hair that gets weighed down easily. Once every week or two I use a clarifying shampoo, and it removes any build up others may have deposited on my hair. If your hair is feeling brittle, or oily and coated, clarifying it with a clarifying shampoo, using a good conditioner with some coconut oil in it, brings it right back. I found if I just mention a brand they sell, they shut up and and tell me how my hair is in such great condition. A lot of salon brands are filled with silicone too.
The very same cones hairdressers are railing against in the comments, that are in pantene. Any shampoo over time can deposit ingredients that build up. There is nothing wrong with Pantene. Some of the comments here are so disrespectful.
Keep up the good work guys, and know that I appreciate your blog. I forgot why I had been useing pantene for years. Is this the same for anybody else? I bought some other brand dove the other day because it was half price and my scalp started to itch that same night after useing it. I will stick with pantene from now on! Dear Randy. Although I need to look through your blog to see if you have indeed performed studies of customer satisfaction using pantene vs other products.
As a professional stylist I find this article rude. I was notntold this by a sales rep, it was a chemistry project we did in cosmetology school, which showed with repeated washings the Pantene Pro V specifically never tested any other Pantene product left a thick waxy buildup that even a perm with a PH of 8.
You can take a blade of a pair of scissors, scrape down hair that has had repeated washings with this product and literally scrape the buildup off. Ensenuating that cosmetologists have 0 science background or any additional Education other than cosmetology school is ignorant and disrespectful to the entire beauty industry, not to mention giving incorrect info in this article.
No rudeness is intended. I encourage you to educate yourself and consider that the things you learned in cosmetology school may not have been science based. There are fatty alcohols like stearyl and cetyl. There are conditioning agents like quaternium and stearamidopropylamine. And there are silicones too, like cyclomethicone, and yes, dimethicone too! There are no plastics in Pantene.
But please, look at the real facts and not the hype. Myth busted! The brand does have proprietary ingredients brought on by technological means. However, those classes of ingredients they use are the same types that are used with consistency throughout the entire industry of hair care.
Those things are fatty alcohols, silicones, cationic surfactants, and cationic polymers. These things include terminal amino silicones, liquid crystals, and coacervate conditioning complexes. What these do is moisturize, protect from damage, and add shine. If you feel like you have buildup from the shampoos or conditioners you use, you might be using something that is too heavy for your hair type. Remember, your hair can change over time. In that case, I suggest you look at what your hair is trying to say.
A greasy scalp after one wash may mean you need to focus on your scalp health and avoid using heavier conditioners, for example. Look for the proof behind what people claim about brands. Pantene contains the same kind of ingredients you find in salon brands. Some will find Pantene works great on their hair, while others will find it to be too heavy or too light in conditioning.
