15 Jun Pantene’s New Customized Pro-V Solutions; and Two Amazing Surprises & Review
A very interesting survey conducted by Pantene Pro-V (conducted in January 2010) showed that 57% of women all over the nation valued getting great hair over upping their IQ by 10 points. And 91% of women said they had a problem with their hair, but did not know how to quite combat the issues.
Great hair over IQ? An astonishing find indeed. Almost Guinness Book worthy.
The survey also found women were late to work or school because they were struggling with their hair. Now, do we need a Haircare Bill passed to settle this phenomenon?
Pantene may well have created a cult classic years ago when they introduced their famous Shampoo and Conditioner combo and their Pro-V line. Don’t you feel as though it were just a stone’s throw from yesterday?
But creating ripples and revolutionary haircare still seems to be very much alive and throbbing in the brand’s R&D labs. Their new Customized Solution line has hit the shelves of every mass market store with their pretty and vividly packaged bottles. Surely, you’ve noticed them?
The new line addresses:
– Fine Hair: the Pantene Pro-V Fine Hair Solutions tackles wispiness with three versions (Flat to Volume; Dry to Moisturized; Fragile to Strong)
– Thick Hair: the Pantene Pro-V Medium Thick Hair Solutions comes in four versions (frizzy to smooth; breakage to strength; dry to moisturized)
– Curly Hair: The two options for this hair type are Curly to Straight and Dry to Moisturized
– Colored Hair: there are SIX versions of this line (Color Preserve Shine; Volume; Smooth; Blonde Expressions; Highlighting Expressions; Brunette Expressions)
Why This? Why Now?
When I went to this product launch, I had the good fortune to hear Pantene’s Celebrity Stylist, Danilo, talk about how Pantene Pro-V scientists gathered an almost Ph.D understanding of the physical and chemical properties of our hair structure.
I was personally styled and coiffed with the Pantene Pro-V Medium Thick Hair shampoo and conditioner and all I could do was let my hair sing for joy. I seriously cherish the silky texture of my hair post wash, and the ever faint trace of fragrance left on my strands. My hair feels as though it was wooed.
Can you experience this dream? YES! We are giving away FOUR SETS (one of each line) to lucky winners.
In addition, we are giving one very special NYC based reader to win a hair consultation and blowout with Celebrity Stylist Danilo. His clients have included Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Gwen Stefani to name a few. The winner will get a full fledged consultation and blowout at a New York Salon.
How do you win these incredible prizes? Simply share with us your fave Pantene hair experience and the name of the celebrity whose hair you’d most like to rock.
Winners will be picked within the week. Good luck, and may your crowning glory be a magnificent mane.

Posted at 13:39h, 22 JuneMy favorite Pantene hair experience is my husband using my Pantene Shampoo and Conditioner over the weekend and absolutely raving about his results. He loves the smell, the shine and the condition that Pantene left his hair in. I smile every time I think of the raving review that he gave Pantene. Now to get him to return my Pantene to me…
I’d love to rock Halle Berry’s pixie style for the summer!

Posted at 03:16h, 04 JulyI used to use the old Pantene full and thick line that gave up to 35% more fullness on thin hair, because I did not like the coating the old Pantene volume shampoo left on my hair. Well, I just used the new Pantene fine hair (flat to volume) shampoo/conditioner and hate it. I have poker straight long hair that is fine, and it left it looking wild and not very shiny. There really was no direct replacement for the full and thick line. The old formula was so much better for my hair. And I’m not real wild about the new smell either. I don’t think I will have many people come up to me and say my hair smells good like in the past. I will probably be moving on to something different. If anyone has any suggestions as to a shampoo that acts similarly to the old full and thick line, please post. I hate wasting a lot of money trying to find a close replacement.

Posted at 03:05h, 19 JulyI HATE the new Pantene line! I have used Pantene for years! I went in and bought the new formula, thinking it would be the same, however, it left my hair feeling like straw. I went back to the store and out every bottle of the old formula I could find! I hate to say it but I will have to find myself new hair product. Any recommendation of what might be similar to the old Sleek and Smooth?

Posted at 15:27h, 22 AugustI’m so disappointed in the new smell of Pantene. I loved the smell before and now I am looking for a new shampoo because I can’t stand the new smell.

Posted at 22:56h, 29 SeptemberThe new shampoo/conditioner leaves your hair smelling like plastic. When I expressed my concerns to Pantene, I was told to try Nature Fusion because it had the original scent (it does not) or Restore Beautiful Lengths (which smells similar but costs twice as much). I am looking for a new shampoo.
