1. I have naturally very straight, very fine, and rather thin hair. It is permed and color treated. What products should I be using?
Since your hair is color treated and processed, it is really important to keep a healthy regimen. This always starts with the right shampoo and conditioner for your hair. Pantene makes a great collection for color treated hair called Pantene Pro-V Expressions and you can choose the shade that’s right for your hair including blonde, brunette, red, or highlighting. The new upgraded formula has liquid crystals, which will help to maintain smoothness and shine for your hair. I would also recommend that you use Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Time Renewal Mask every few weeks. It is an amazing conditioning treat for your hair and will provide the moisture and nourishment your strands need. Once you have this healthy base your style will hold better. Since you have finer hair, don’t weigh your hair down with a lot of product. Try blowing in styling crèmes as base (these are generally lighter) and will help you get to your desired end look.

2. Hello, I am Indian and have long thick straight hair but they are little frizzy too. Can you tell me how to make them super straight? Thanks.
Absolutely Vijal, no one wants frizz, especially when showcasing long hair! Fortunately, there is a simple solution to calm the frizz down. My advice would be to use Pantene Pro-V Extra Straight/Extra Liso Comb-in-Cream. This extra creamy leave-in formula delivers moisture to the hair leaving it straighter-looking and virtually frizz free. Make sure you comb in with a wide tooth comb while your hair is still damp. Again, your styling should start in the shower with the right shampoo and conditioner. Pantene has several different lines that could be good for your hair. Try the Pantene Pro-V Anti-Frizz and Conditioner, or Pantene Pro-V Extra Straight Shampoo and Conditioner to help fight the frizz and make your hair radiantly straight. If you are looking to grow your hair longer, you should try the new Pantene Pro-V Beautiful Lengths Shampoo and Conditioner which will help you grow your hair longer by helping to prevent breakage. The goal here is to say goodbye to frizz, hello to sleek, and straight beautiful hair!

3. I have straight hair, very fine but I have a lot of hair. I´ve been using my hair dryer for years to style my hair, so now if I don´t use it my hair frizzes or waves… I would love to have my natural straight hair as I did 10 years ago… Is there a product I can use the days I don´t want to use my hair dryer, so my hair will look nicely straight?
So many women today are trapped using heating products, such as hair-dyers, day in and day out. While these tools are great for achieving certain styles, they can potentially cause damage if used incorrectly. Everyone needs a break every once in a while! I would start by using Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Frizz Control Shampoo and Conditioner on a daily basis. This treatment will deeply clean your hair with its powerful formula, restoring moisture back into your hair leaving it strong, hydrated, and healthy looking. The conditioner is especially good for fighting off frizz because it will instantly smooth out your hair, getting rid of unruly fly-aways. Now that you have the frizz under control, I suggest using Pantene Pro-V Extra Straight/Extra Liso Comb-in-Cream that I mention above to complete your straight, frizz-free style without the blow-dryer. Congrats to you for giving your hair a much needed vacation from the heat!

4. I’m Italian and I have long thick black frizzy hair. My hair is one length, half way down my back. All I want is straight long hair. What products should I use to stop it from being so frizzy? And at night time it’s the worst. Should I sure different products at night? Thank you.
The key to taming that frizzy hair is starting with the right shampoo and conditioner to make sure your hair is in tip top shape. You are never going to change the genetics of your hair texture, but you can definitely treat yourself and your style by using Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Frizz Control Shampoo & Conditioner, as I mentioned above. To really solidify the straight hair look you desire I advise using Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Frizz Control Ultra-Smoothing Balm. It will help smooth down your hair to create a straight, silky and, most importantly, frizz-free style when you style. You say that nighttime is the worst for your frizzy hair, and I want to stress how important it is to make sure your hair is moisturized and strong enough to defend off any incoming frizziness. Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Time Renewal Mask will do just that, giving your hair a deep, moisturizing treatment that works immediately to help hair feel soft, smooth and glossy. Use the mask at night after shampooing and conditioning, leave in your hair for a few minutes so it can absorb the treatment, and rinse out for a whole new outlook on straight, no-frizz hair!

5. What products works best without hair damage to straighten my colored treated hair?
As a lot of women can attest to, color treated hair is very sensitive and needs to be properly taken care of so it doesn’t fade away or lose its vibrancy. As I mentioned above, start with the Expressions line for shampoo and conditioner. One of my favorite products is the Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Breakage Defense Strengthening Spray. I call it my “miracle water” and I use it on almost every head of hair I touch. You want to use it before you begin straightening in order to protect your hair and add a little bit of luster. The spray will improve the strength of your hair, giving it more power to withstand the damaging effects of straightening tools, leaving hair silkier, shinier and smoother than before. It’s always good to know safe straightening techniques, so make sure you don’t have your straightener too hot; setting it on a low to medium power should suffice for any hair type. If you blow-dry your hair straight, make sure to point the nozzle downward so it doesn’t blow up little pieces of hair that can cause frizz. If your blow-dryer has a cool blast capacity, use it every once in a while so it can cool the hair when straightening instead of causing breakage through intense heat.

6. My hair is straight, very fine and is always frizzy and dull looking. My hair is a combination of oily on the roots and a bit dry on the ends. I live in PR where the climate is extremely humid. I’ve tried lots of products that “promise” straight frizzy free hair, but they have done nothing for my hair. Is there a product out there that can make a huge difference in my hair? Thanks.
I know just the products to help with your humid hair predicament, Sylvia. First I would suggest using Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Frizz Control Extra-Strength Serum. This extra strength formula provides the ultimate frizz control for rebellious, frizzy hair and is a great formula to use on fine hair. This serum is lightweight, so it won’t hold you hair down. Rather, it will help seal out that crazy, Puerto Rico humidity! I’ve seen this product instantly transform frizzy hair into soft, silky, shiny hair so give it a try! Next, just because you have straight hair doesn’t mean it has to be dull looking. After using the Extra-Strength Serum and seeing how miraculously it works to create a super straight, frizz-free look on your hair, apply Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Frizz Control Anti-Humidity Hairspray to lock in your straight style. Apply generously when needed, as it provides long lasting flexible hold even in high humidity conditions. As an added bonus, this hairspray also keeps hair bouncy, giving it some extra oomph for an all-day hold. No need to let humidity bog you down!

7. I flat iron my hair straight after blowing it dry. My hair is also colored blonde. I have a problem with it either looking frizzy on the ends or too flat all over lifeless). I would love to have silky, shiny hair like I see on celebrities on talk shows (jennifer Anniston)as well as some soap stars. What products are the secret to getting that look?
Just because you’re not a celebrity doesn’t mean you can’t have hair that looks like you’re a Hollywood star! It’s tough for hair to withstand all the heating products we throw at them on a daily basis, but here is what I would recommend to keep your hair healthy, while creating shine and taming the frizz. As I mentioned before, find that right shampoo and conditioner for you. Color treated hair needs some extra care, so make sure your giving your hair what it needs. For styling, try a serum that adds shine. I love the Pantene Pro-V Smooth Serum. It will instantly smooth out dry, frizz-prone hair while adding shine in all the right places. This serum magically creates smooth and glossy hair when blow-drying straight, adding extra protection against damaging heat products such as your flat iron. When you showcase your new and improved glossy hair all I have to say is Jennifer Aniston, watch out!

8. My hair is thin and very straight. It will not even take a perm! My face is sort of narrow and I have a large forehead. What is the best style for me and what products can help but not hurt my hair?
Thanks for your question Heather. It seems to me you need a little more volume. Stay tuned in two weeks when I’ll provide your step by step styling regime on our Volume focused blog.

9. My hairstylist asked me not to use Pantene at least a week before I have my hair colored. Something about wax build up…Is this true because I love Pantene.
Thank you for asking me this question. I hope I can clear up this misconception. Pantene Pro-V has been a leading hair care brand for more than 60 years and started out as a product that was exclusively sold in salons. Pantene is actually best known for shampoo and conditioner systems that contain the signature ingredient Vitamin B5 (Panthenol), a moisturizing agent. These products also help repair and prevent damage. Personally I have been using Pantene products since I began my career as a celebrity stylist. Once I discovered the true effects of the products I never looked back. Every stylist has their favorite regime they follow, but Pantene has always been my favorite and I would never promote a product that I do not believe in. I hope that his helps you understand my perspective, let me know if you have any further questions.
