Who here misses going to the salon and coming out with Salontastic hair? Nowadays, we’re not able to go to the salon to give our hair some TLC. If we neglect taking care of our hair, it might lead to hair damage. We talked to celebrity stylist Renz Pangilinan, who has worked on the hair of Gabbi Garcia, Ivana Alawi and Kylie Versoza, about hair damage and how to prevent it.

Renz says that the main causes of hair damage are sun exposure, hair styling and hair coloring. With his clients not able to go to the salon, he noticed that their hair showed signs of damage. “There’s a big difference since they are not able to have their regular salon treatment. It lacks shine and luster. It’s also more damaged and dry.” To address these issues, Renz taught his clients how to get smooth hair at home. Lucky for us, he shared these three expert tips so you can also enjoy damage-free, silky smooth hair at home.

Expert tip #1: Take the time to love your hair just like how you love your skin.

You wouldn’t use a harsh cleanser on your skin, so you shouldn’t do that to your hair, either. Just like how we choose gentle products that will nourish our skin and won’t dry it out, we should also use a hair cleanser that will do the same for your hair. Renz recommends Pantene Total Damage Care Long Hair Solutions Shampoo, which has Pro Vitamins (Pro-V) and Japanese Rice Oil Essence to nourish the hair and cleanse it without stripping hair of its natural oils.

Expert tip #2: Condition, condition, condition!

To achieve Salontastic hair, Renz emphasizes that it’s important to keep your hair hydrated. He adds, “Your hair needs moisture and love more than ever!” To prevent and treat hair damage, Renz recommends Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Total Damage Care Daily Serum Conditioner. It contains Pro Vitamins (Pro-V) to prevent protein loss. With regular use, these Pro Vitamins (Pro-V) nourish hair, and help repair and prevent hair damage for silky, smooth, and soft hair.

For hair that feels thin and weak, Pantene Collagen Miracle Intensive Serum Conditioner is a great choice. It contains Collagen, a potent hair moisturizer that also helps make the strands stronger.

For those with straight hair that has become dry and frizzy, give your hair the best care with Pantene Keratin Straight Conditioner. It contains Keratin, a protein that tames the hair cuticles to get smooth and sleek hair. Renz recommends leaving on your Pantene Conditioner for 3-5 minutes and then rinsing it for salon hair that is soft and smooth.

Expert Tip #3: Use a hair treatment for extra hydration.

Renz believes that a DIY hair treatment can make a big difference in hair texture and volume. “For that extra shine and moisture, use Pantene Collagen Miracle Treatment Shots for five minutes and rinse.” With regular use, Renz noticed a hair transformation with his clients’ previously dull and dry hair. “I noticed that even without styling, their hair is healthier and shinier! Definitely close to having salon hair!“

For silky smooth hair that gives you that salon-level confidence boost, Renz loves the Pantene Salontastic Collection. He raves about how getting Salontastic hair at home is so easy and safe. “Pantene Salontastic Collection is definitely my go-to.” 

For best results, use Pantene regularly.
