Is there anything worse than a bad shampoo? The products we use to clean our hair do so much more than simply clean – they help to make hair look and feel healthy, soft and frizz-free. And the wrong ingredients can do so much worse than give you a bad hair day. Using the wrong shampoo for your hair may even cause damage and breakage.
This is why so many people have a problem with the Pantene Pro-V Nature Fusion Smooth Vitality Shampoo. It is marketed to smooth your hair with the help of avocado oil for a soft and shiny appearance, but it doesn't work this way for most hair types.
"Made my hair fall out," a reviewer shared on Total Beauty. "I usually avoid Pantene because it makes my hair very oily. When I got this new Pantene as part of a freebie from Shape magazine, I decided to give it a try. Well, that's something I will regret. I now have half the hair I used to have, because this shampoo made my hair fall out. I have a sensitive scalp, and break out from a lot of products, but this is the first time my hair fell out because of a shampoo."
This hydrating shampoo may be too hydrating for many people, especially those with thin or oily hair. Using a moisturizing shampoo when you don't need it can leave your hair looking greasy, plus it can over-hydrate your hair and ultimately cause breakage.
What To Use Instead
If you're looking for a cleansing shampoo that doesn't overly-hydrate or irritate your scalp, opt for something made with coconut oil, or even an anti-dandruff shampoo that can nourish the scalp to promote healthy hair growth.
