Hair Q & A
I have to say my hair is thin and straight and breaks easily so I would love to know how to make it full and break free without a perm. - Joanna
Joanna, I’m glad you are going in the anti-perm route because damage to the hair is a guarantee anytime you apply a chemical application to your strands. The damage can be felt as well as seen with a lot of breakage. So, congrats to you for choosing the healthier path! The solution to getting a fuller look without causing damage starts in the shower. Try using Pantene Pro-V Volume Shampoo and Conditioner because you will be able to achieve almost half of your desired volume just by washing your hair. For even more volume, apply Pantene Pro-V Volume Mousse after washing while your hair is still damp. Don’t worry, it’s a non-sticky formula so you don’t have to fret about your hair scrunching or becoming hard when applying the product and it will give you up to 50% more body when used with shampoo and conditioner versus shampoo alone. Make sure to blow-dry your hair in a heat setting to activate these volumizers and bring to life a new voluminous look.
My hair breaks very easily. How can I get big poufy hair without backcombing? - Lisa
Hair that breaks easily can be very difficult to control and style the way you want. It’s time to give your hair some freedom to show its natural beauty and strength. You can start doing so by using the Pantene Beautiful Lengths Shampoo and Conditioner to help protect your hair against looming damage and breakage, and it will also help grow your hair longer in the process! If you’re looking to further protect your hair on top of using Beautiful Lengths Shampoo and Conditioner, pick up some of my miracle water, Pantene Pro-V Breakage Defense Strengthening Spray. I call it my “miracle water” because I use it on almost every head of hair I touch! The spray will improve the strength of your hair and leave it silkier, shinier and smoother than before. Once you have your hair longer and stronger I suggest using a volumizer to get your desired volume. Try Pantene Pro-V Volume Root Lifter to get your desired “poufy hair”. It’s a lightweight spray that boosts body from root to tip. Use this product by spritzing it in at your roots. Then, blow-dry the roots of your hair away from the head in opposite directions for the volumizing effect. It’s a safe and easy way to get the volume you crave without the damage of backcombing.
I have naturally curly hair (hence my name)and I love to get volume, but all the volumizer products I’ve tried so far tend to dry out my hair from about mid shaft to the ends. I end up with a Gilda Radner style and it’s not cute. Can you recommend something? - Natural Curls
Unfortunately, as funny as Gilda Radner was, it’s not so funny to don her hairstyle. Start your routine with the right shampoos and conditioner. For curly hair you can’t go wrong with the Pantene Pro-V Curls Shampoo and Conditioner. This combo will work together to lock in the moisture in your hair and help create defined, virtually frizz-free curls…and we all know hydration is key to maintaining curls and fighting off dryness. To get the volume you love, try using Pantene Pro-V Volume Flexible Hold Hairspray. What’s so great about the hairspray is that it’s lightweight, so you barely feel like you’re wearing hairspray, but it’s strong enough to provide outstanding hold, even in high humidity! Give your hair a generous spray with the hairspray to pump up the volume, especially by flipping your head over to spray underneath your hair so it can support your wonderful head of curls!
I have straight dark not so thick hair. I want it longer and thicker. So I decided to not to dye them anymore. My main problem though is - they get really oily at the end of the day and flat as well. Please help me with any kind of tip! - Katia
Katia, if you are looking to grow your hair longer, I highly recommend the new Pantene Pro-V Beautiful Lengths Shampoo and Conditioner which will work together to make your hair ten times stronger against breakage and help you grow long, beautiful hair. To achieve more thickness and volume in your hair, I suggest applying Pantene Pro-V Full & Thick Mousse before blow-drying. To prevent your hair from getting oily and flat, make sure you use volume products on wet hair rather than dry hair. Heat from blow-dryers cause the formula in volume products to swell which will give you lasting volumizing style support. The mousse is a lightweight formula that will help pump up and lift thinner hair, giving it a thick, full look.
How do I get big volume like Brigitte Bardo at the crown of my head without looking like Elvira? Every time I try to tease my hair it turns into a rat’s nest mess. Help I want that sex-kitten look! - Julie and Jasmine
Hi Girls - Trust me, there are plenty of ways to achieve eye-popping, fabulous, healthy-looking volume without having to go through the horrors of hair teasing! It’s especially important for me to remind everyone to treat your hair with a tremendous amount of care when using products and styling tools to try and pull-off the sex-kitten/glam movie star look we all crave. It’s all about healthy hair looking beautiful in the styles we create! My preferred method for creating a volume boost is a technique called “French Lacing”. This is a great way to get volume without all the damage. You first start with clean hair (removing the residue will help give you that needed boost). Next, grab a great brush instead of a comb and simply lift the entire section of hair where you want to achieve the boost. Using your brush, pull the hair down lightly and away simultaneously layering each section on top of each other. Remember to keep it very light because you are aerating the hair with a softer volume. I like to mist the “lace” base with a finishing volume aerosol spray to lock down the look without weighting it down. Pantene’s Volume Hairspray is perfect for this. Finally, softly brush over the top of each section to achieve a smooth seamless volume without all the hair stress.
When I blow dry my hair, it always ends up limp and super flat. I’ve tried a root-lifting spray, but it just makes my hair sticky and still leaves it flat! What am I doing wrong here? - Syndia, Nikki and Lauren B.
All 3 of you seem to have the same problem. Coming from years of hair experience, I can tell you that volume is always an asset to have after styling your hair - no one wants to lose the volume in the process and have your hair fall flat! To start, use Pantene Pro-V Volume Shampoo and Conditioner which build body and lift without weighing your hair down. This will give you the base treatment for the natural-looking, high volume you desire. When blow drying make sure you are directing the heat from root to tip (away from the head). A quick and easy trick is to flip your head upside down. Make sure you do not apply too much volumizing products and always add heat to get the full effect from the products. Finally, spray your hair with Pantene Pro-V Texture Hairspray to add fullness. The hairspray will work well with your hair because it has a lower water content than other hairsprays so it won’t weigh your hair down or saturate it with too much product. It’s great for styling hair into the big, soft voluminous look you are all going for because it’s strong enough to provide outlasting hold to any style you feel like creating. It’s also super flexible, so your hair can move and bounce naturally – no one will believe you are even wearing hairspray! It can be our little secret.
xx, Danilo
