HAPPY HAIR


Around 18 months ago, I made a huge mistake with my hair!  I had been blonde all my life when I made the disastrous decision to dye it cherry red and I hated it!  Don't get me wrong, the colour looked ok but it just wasn't me - suddenly my make-up and clothes looked wrong and I didn't know what colours suited me anymore, all resulting in an identity crisis.

I spoke to several hairdresser acquaintances I know and they all told me the same thing - trying to remove red  and return to blonde is a very tricky business best left to the professionals if I didn't want to end up with pink hair!  But funds being low I couldn't afford to go and spend all that money at the salon so to start with I toned down the red into a slightly better brunette and then slowly but surely I have made my way back down the home dye colour spectrum towards my goal.

All this colouring though had left me with dry coarse hair that seriously lacked shine if left unattended, so I began a search for a solution within my budget, trying range upon range all promising healthy looking, shiny hair - but none seemed to work and my hair remained stubbornly lacklustre.

Countless hair washes later I discovered the Pantene Repair & Protect range and finally I had found The One!  Just two weeks after trying the products and my hair was shinier, glossier and altogether happier.

Along with the shampoo and conditioner, I use the 2min Deep Repair Mask at least once a week and I also used the Split End Serum on damp hair before I blow dry and I can really see the difference.  Even my hairdresser commented on the change in the condition when I went to get it trimmed - he could not believe it!

Now, many months later and after getting my shoulder length style cut into a jaw skimming bob to remove the last of the old colour, my hair is finally starting to look like it belongs to me and some of my old confidence is starting to show through again.

So thank you Pantene for making my hair and me happy again!
