For my sisters

I got a little trimmy trim on Tuesday, and my stylist gave me some earth-shattering news: Pantene Pro-V shampoo and conditioner is the worst for your hair! Anyone who has smelled my clean head knows that I've been a Pantene devotee for years. I did not know what to do with myself when I heard this terrible news! She says that Pantene "tricks" your hair into being soft and shiny: it over-proteinates it, coating and coating it until what you feel is basically shellack, and your poor hair on the inside gets brittle and breaks. I was so traumatized, I immediately went to the beauty supply store across the street and switched to Paul Mitchell. (For the pocketbook-conscious, it's the same price.)

Ladies, consider yourselves warned! Pantene and other drug store shampoos will break your heart.

That must have been hard to hear, but I'm so glad you know now! Shampoo and conditioner habits are hard to break, so I wish you luck in the coming days.
