PANTENE shampoo warning ?

PANTENE SHAMPOO WARNING ??

The advert shows TV presenter Myleene Klass playing the piano with her immaculate hair shimmering from root to tip. It is a display that convinced Sophie Peppercorn to try Pantene for the first time.

So she bought one of the shampoos which promised 'healthy looking hair in ten days' and could hardly wait to see the results.

But the 19-year- old administration assistant was left distraught the first time she used the shampoo when clumps of hair came out in the shower, leaving her with bald patches.

Last night Miss Peppercorn wept as she described what happened. 'As I showered the bubbles from my hair I could feel a lot of it in my hands,' she said.

'But it was only when I patted my hair dry with a towel and looked in the mirror, that I realised the extent of the hair damage. My hairline had receded several inches where my hair had broken off at the roots. Meanwhile, the rest of my hair was so damaged and frizzy it was breaking off in handfuls. I was so devastated, I broke down in tears.'

Miss Peppercorn went on to the internet and found many reports from women claiming that their hair fell out in similar circumstances.

She said: 'Many claim that a type of chemical wax, called sodium laureth sulphate, found in this and other shampoos is to blame.'

NEGATIVE COMMENTS OF PANTENE :

1 ) Every time I'd mention to the stylists doing my hair that I used Pantene, they said the stuff was worthless and leaving waxy buildup behind. I thought they were just trying to get me to buy expensive salon products and get a big ol' commission. For years, I didn't believe them - until one stylist actually took her scissors and scraped white wax off of my hair and showed it to me.

This crap is hideous. It makes your hair feel smooth and sleek for a little while until it eventually starts to clump together and feel sticky. My hair became oily near the scalp and clumpy and dry everywhere else to the point where I was shampooing twice, skipping the conditioner (same brand), and it still never felt clean.

2) Pantene used to be one of my favorite shampoos. Until I realized that the clumps of hair clogging the tub drain was due to harsh chemical based shampoos. Because of that, I switched to paraben-free and sulfate free hair products. The drain no longer is clogged and I still have my hair.
