You may have heard of some controversies about Pantene online, but is it true that Pantene is bad for your hair? And, does it really lead to hair loss and damage? In this article, we’ll explain the benefits and drawbacks of using Pantene every day (plus, how to choose the right shampoo and conditioner for your hair type).
Things You Should Know
- Pantene shampoo can be damaging if you use it every day because it contains harsh ingredients like sulfates, parabens, silicones, and fragrance.
- Pantene conditioner may leave your hair more nourished because it contains silicones, but use a clarifying shampoo once a week to remove product buildup.
- Choose a shampoo based on your hair type: Pantene’s Gold and Truly ranges are formulated for curly hair, while their Generation Beauty line is designed for fine hair.

Tips
- If you’re concerned whether your shampoo is damaging, perform a patch test: shampoo a small area like the side of your ear, then check the area to see if there’s any redness or irritation; if not, go ahead and use it as normal.Thanks
- If you have curly hair, type in your specific shampoo or conditioner into CurlsBot to analyze the ingredients and see if they're curl friendly.Thanks
