Why oils and balms may not be the solution to your frizzy hair problems
This story is brought to you by Pantene.
When our skin is dry, our first instinct is to reach for the richest, heaviest moisturizer we can find and apply generously. However, this is not always the best solution, because we can just end up looking greasy and possibly clog our pores. Instead, we’ve talked about layering our skincare with lightweight, moisturizing products. The same goes with our hair.
When our hair is dull, dry and frizzy, we might try to load our hair with the richest conditioners, hair balms or oils in an effort to moisturize and smoothen our hair. With the richness of these products, though, combined with the heat and humidity in the Philippines, we might just end up with oily and sticky hair! All that oil and heavy emollients can weigh down our hair and make it lose volume and bounce. Most especially if you have fine or limp hair, you can end up with hair that looks thin and stiff.
Instead of loading up on a heavy conditioner and other hair products, choose hair products that are lightweight yet have a lot of moisturizing power like the Pantene Collagen Miracle Intensive Serum Conditioner (P299 for 300 ml). This new conditioner from Pantene contains collagen, a potent ingredient that is naturally found in the body which has a lot of benefits for the skin and hair. It hydrates the hair and leaves it looking shiny and supple. Pantene Collagen Miracle Intensive Serum Conditioner doesn’t weigh the hair down, doesn’t leave a sticky feeling and washes off easily. It leaves the hair feeling smooth and moisturized yet light.
To further care for your hair, layer your conditioner with a treatment like Pantene Collagen Miracle Treatment Shots (P49/12 ml) several times a week. These are concentrated shots of collagen that feel surprisingly light on the hair. After rinsing my conditioner, I apply only a small amount because a little goes a very long way. It only takes a few minutes for the treatment shot to work, and then I rinse my hair out. After air drying, I find that my hair stays smooth and retains it shape for up to four days! I am impressed because I would have never been able to achieve that by using a hair oil, which feels heavy and tends to stretch out my hair. Pantene Collagen Miracle Treatment Shots eliminated frizz on my curly hair without losing its shape even if I keep tying it.
Collagen is so effective in moisturizing and smoothening the hair, but it also helps make the hair stronger because it is rich in amino acids that the body needs to build keratin - the protein that is found in human hair. Real collagen, like the one found in Pantene, has a triple helix structure to give an added layer of strength for the hair.
Just like skincare, it’s important to choose products with ingredients that will give results, and not just buy something because it’s trendy. Collagen is an example of such an effective ingredient. The Collagen Miracle Line really packs a punch by protecting, moisturizing and eliminating frizzy tutchangs without heavy ingredients that drag your hair down.
