I spend hundreds on hair products yearly trying to find the magic bullet that will transform my hair from drab to fab. On most days you’ll find my hair pulled back in a clip or pony.
My version of fabulous hair went out the window when perms went out of style in the early 90’s. Don’t laugh – perms were my secret weapon for achieving volume. Not only did this hair treatment become outdated, it began taking a serious toll on my locks.
For many years I managed to tolerate what God gave me (limp, fine hair) but nothing prepared me for the changes incurred after baby number two. That was four years ago and I still haven’t fully recovered.
When MomTrends and Pantene asked if I’d give the new AgeDefy collection a try this holiday season, I was up for the challenge. It’s a lovely thing what hormones and age will do to hair – loss of body, thinning, dryness – the list goes on.
What makes the Pantene AgeDefy products so unique? Pantene Scientists have partnered with Olay’s anti-aging experts to understand women’s aging hair. Through the process, Pantene uncovered new truths on how women’s hair changes with age.
The result of the decade-long quest is NEW Pantene AgeDefy, their first and only line of anti-aging hair care products created to fight the following:
- breakage
- split ends
- frizz
- unruly grays
- minimizes lackluster color
- minimizes a thin look
- minimizes dryness
For the past week I’ve been testing the Pantene AgeDefy Rejuvenating Hydration Masque {$12.99}.
With fine, color treated hair it’s rare to have a good hair day unless I leave it to a professional. Usually I spend entirely too much time fighting just to look presentable enough to walk out the door.
Using the Pantene AgeDefy products has definitely improved the volume of my hair and reduced my styling time. It’s difficult to show much difference between before or after, however I measure results by how quickly I can get out the door and if my hair will hold up throughout the day and/or night. And this did the trick.
I even managed to skip a day of shampooing and that rarely happens without wearing a hat.
My fav from the collection is the Pantene AgeDefy Advanced Thickening Treatment which has significantly helped my hair look fuller and the Pantene AgeDefy Rejuvenating Hydration Masque which gave me lots of shine.
Ready to amp up your hair and turn back the clock this holiday? Give Pantene AgeDefy products a try!
Tips from Pantene Celebrity Stylist Danilo:
- Enhance your approach when it comes to your hair style or look. A great haircut and a good hair color, preferably one with the least amount of chemicals, is sure to take years off your look.
- Longer hair on older women can sometimes make faces appear elongated – as we age, we are fighting gravity and this goes for hair too! Older heads of hair look great with short, geometric cuts. These styles may sound risky to some, but I find that these dramatic looks can be refreshing and make women look younger as opposed to keeping their longer locks.
- Using anti-aging hair products, such as Pantene Pro-V Age Defy doesn’t necessarily mean you’re losing your hair or addressing a sometimes taboo issue. This collection can be used as a preventative measure to keep you looking and feeling confident about your hair every day.
- The Pantene Pro-V Age Defy Daily Thickening Treatment is such a great product because it has cumulative benefits. Not only does this product thicken the diameter of hair strands, making hair appear fuller, but it can also be used as a root lifter. It’ll leave hair softer and shinier which will make you look younger.
- You should start any hair style with a clean base, so be sure to use the Pantene Pro-V Age Defy Shampoo and Conditioner regimen in conjunction with the rest of the Age Defy collection for maximum benefits. Using the entire collection together will give you hair that’s soft, touchable and shiny.
