Pantene has been the market leader in shampoo for over ten years, partly because it is an inexpensive and excellently formulated product. However, to maintain this kind of market dominance, you need more than great technology. You need the best marketing in the industry and that’s what Procter & Gamble (the makers of Pantene) has.

Believe it or not, the pictures on the back of Pantene’s bottles do give a reasonable representation of what is happening on your hair. What is shown are two pictures of hair strands—one strand has cuticles that are jagged and lifted up, the other strand is smooth and nicer-looking. The message you are supposed to get from this is that by using Pantene shampoo and conditioner, your hair will be softer, smoother and shinier. Is it true? It is true that the cuticles (the outer layer of a hair fiber) of damaged hair will look jagged and lift up from the fiber. The image is an artist’s rendition of a close-up microscopic view of the hair. When a fiber is treated with a conditioning shampoo like Pantene, it leaves a coating of silicone and polyquat that “glues” down the cuticles and makes the hair look smooth.
