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 17:04h, 30 SeptemberI have used Pantene for years and have always been happy with their products. That was until they came out with the so call new and improve Pantene. The new formula leaves my hair feeling unclean and coated. Just the other day after washing and drying my hair, my hair looked and felt dirty, what a big disappointment. I switched to Suave Clarifying Shampoo, this helped removed the coating in my hair from Pantene Shampoo.

Posted at 02:38h, 17 NovemberThis new product is just the WORST stuff I have ever used!!! I HATE it. My two grown daughters and I have used either pantene classic or pantene for colored hair shampoo and conditioner for years! I thought I had bought what I always have except for the new color scheme on the product. I have used it for about a week and a half realizing my hair seemed to feel dirty very quickly. Then I really started noticing how my hair actually feels when it is wet. It is horrible– feels like it has something thick in it that doesn’t wash out. I also feel as if I was duped as well…there was absolutely no warning that the formula had been changed. I have talked to many people who also have been long time users of this product–they all say the same thing! HORRIBLE!!! This reminds me of when coke tried to change to new coke–a total bust. I am on the way to the store to find another product. This is a shame. If you are a long time user of Pantene, run as fast as you can away from this horrible product.

Posted at 04:07h, 25 FebruaryWhat a disappointment. I have used Pantene for many years and convinced many friends to change from their expensive salon shampoos to Pantene. The new look formula ones are just awful. The minute my hair is dry after shampooing, it looks greasy and dirty. I thought it may have been my hair but then I was at lunch today with friends and mentioned it as my hair was driving me crazy and looked awful and 3 of the 9 girls there said they had changed from Pantene for that exact reason. Bring back the old formulas !

Posted at 10:26h, 18 Julyi honestly do not like what pantene has done with their new line if you look at the ingredients on all of there products (including there treatments) there isnt a single natural ingredient it is all sulfates and alchohols which are bad for your hair, i remember pantene being the top dog in hair care products now id rather use hotel shampoos
