Prevent Dry, Static Hair

How Pantene Can Help Your Dry, High-Porosity Hair Situation!

Audrey Davis-Sivasothy
Dry, static-prone hair is typically porous hair. Hair in this state has been through it all. Usually, hair like this has been color-treated repeatedly, improperly chemically relaxed or just simply neglected! Dry, static-ridden hair usually has a roughened, degraded cuticle surface that is in desperate need of repair. Fortunately, Pantene Pro-V customized solutions has help for those of us out there with dry, static hair that refuses to lay flat or maintain a style.

Before I started caring for my hair, I battled with chronic dryness. My color-treated hair was a dull, lackluster orange color. There was no shine or sheen to it, and it looked fried. My hair would not move well, and the ends would always lift and stick out rather than flow together. I was able to correct this problem by using pH balanced products with light proteins and moisture that supported my hair's cuticle and reduced my hair's porosity. While damaged hair cannot be 100% repaired, good products can go a long way while you slowly trim out the damage. Try these Pantene Products to reduce your hair's porosity and give you back your healthy, vibrant hair!

Pantene Pro-V Color Hair Solutions Color Nourishing Treatment
For a quick, 911 treatment, the Pro-V Color Hair Solutions Color Nourishing Treatment can help restore your hair's normal porosity by sealing weak, damaged cuticles. Though this treatment is designed for color-treated hair, any hair that has been damaged by heat styling or other chemical treatments can safely use it to nourish damaged cuticles. Pantene suggests using the treatment once a week to get the hair back in proper shape. Since the cuticles of porous hair are already open and damaged, treatments do not need to stay long on the surface of the hair to work well. Porous hair will soak up everything. The nourishing treatment only needs to sit on your hair for two minutes!

Pantene's Medium-Thick Hair Solutions
Pantene's Medium-Thick Hair Solutions shampoo and conditioner is a good shampoo and conditioner combo for increasing the hair's moisture and restoring its porosity to normal levels. This shampoo and conditioning set should be a part of your long-term strategy to prevent and correct dry, static-prone hair. The formula supports and nourishes degraded cuticles so that the hair shaft can function as a more robust, moisturized fiber.

The Frizzy to Smooth set within the Medium-Thick Hair solutions will work especially well for rebuilding and supporting the hair with protein and moisture. This formula locks out ambient humidity while locking in precious, internal moisture, keeping your hair soft, silky and moisturized all day. Each hair shaft is coated in advanced conditioning agents so that the strands can freely slip past one another and resist the urge to "stand up" or "repel" one another, which is a common problem in damaged, static-prone hair. Pantene experts add that static can cause degradation of the hair cuticle, leaving the hair shaft damaged and vulnerable. The Frizzy to Smooth shampoo and conditioner, when used in conjunction with the Color Nourishing Treatment, can prevent that dry, static feel from ever getting you down again.
