Default Pantene's Full 'N Thick

Hi guys,

About a week ago I saw a commercial for Pantene ProV's new shampoo and conditioner called "Full 'N Thick" (I think that is what it was called? It showed some blonde woman in a convertible and said it makes the hair appear like 35% thicker...has anyone seen this commercial? Anyone tried the product? If so, does it work? Or does "35% thicker" mean "frizzy and fluffy"? I was thinking of picking it up when my shampoo and conditioner runs out - but i don't want to waste money on false hopes!

Thanks

I usually use Pantene's Dry/Damaged formula, but when I saw this new shampoo, I thought I would give it a try.

Unfortunately for me, it made no difference at all.

Also, it lacks the detangling qualities that the Dry/Damaged does and I was practically ripping through my hair every day to comb it out which seemed to pull more hair out than usual.

Sorry I don't have better results to tell.

Thanks for the info I guess I won't even bother then. I hate when the shampoo/conditioner doesn't make your hair feel smooth and manageable after you use it. I used to use a shampoo from my friend's salon called "Brown" - that was before it started coming out by the handful...I hated it so much....It didn't even make suds (that didn't effect it's cleaning power, but I hated the feeling of "lathering" a "non-latherable" shampoo)....and I like using a conditioner that makes my hair feel silky while i'm rinsing - also decreases the pulling and tangles after I get out of the shower...

Oh well, thanks for the heads up

I use it and I love it! It does increase volume and it makes your hair really shiny. Try it. I think that you will be pleased. I also use it along with Nexxus vitatress shampoo becasue it removes dht buildup in the scalp and hair which is what causes the hair loss. I shampoo first with that and then twice with the pantene full and thick.

Excelsior's Milennia Mud is excellent. It's a conditioner treatment that you leave in for about 5 minutes. It's too expensive to use daily, but it's great once a week or so. It makes my hair feel thicker, for sure. If you're looking for a relatively cheap conditioner, Dove Intense Moisture is nice. I've used the shampoo a couple times and it seemed alright too.
