Pantene contest & Holiday 2009 hair style tips
Follow me on Twitter
The holidays are the perfect time to take your look to the next level and go for super-glam styles that will get heads turning as you walk beneath the mistletoe.
I chatted with Pantene Consulting Stylist, Justin German, who has offered up three of this season’s hottest hair trends.
“The key for a great holiday look is to be bold – this is the time you want to sparkle and shine. The great thing about Pantene products is they can help you achieve a bold look, with enough money left over to help buy a fabulous pair of earrings to set the whole look off,” says Justin.
1) Pump up the volume –Amplify your more functional outfit at your office holiday party with voluminous and full hair. After using Pantene Pro-V Volume Shampoo and Conditioner, massage a peach-sized dollop of Pantene Pro-V Volume Mousse into your roots. Blow dry hair on a medium setting upside down to get the lift; then bring head up and finish drying with the help of a natural-bristle round brush. “For a smoother look, direct the blow-dryer downwards in the direction of hair cuticles,” said Justin.
2) Tale of Two Textures – For a sophisticated look to sport at your friends’ dinner parties, try the dueling textures of a smooth, slick top and curly at the bottom. To help get the look, wash with Pantene Pro-V’s Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner which helps tame frizz and smoothes hair, leaving it shiny and manageable. Prior to styling, add in a split-end protection cream to help moisturize and prevent split ends, which is the key to a smooth look. “Wet hair is especially susceptible to breakage, use a wide-tooth comb for hair to minimize breakage and then blow-dry hair,” said Justin. Using a comb, apply Pantene Pro-V’s Smooth Serum through the top of your hair – from ear to ear and stop just below crown. Then create curls with a curling iron or Velcro rollers to build an all-over wave through the length of your hair. Work more serum into your hands and apply throughout the hair to loosen curls into a natural look. To exaggerate the contrast between slick top and curly bottom, affix bobby pins behind your ears. Finish with Pantene Pro-V’s Classic Aerosol Hairspray Flexible Hold to set the look.
3) Rocker Chic– When you are going out on the town for a New Year’s Eve bash, pair your favourite party frock with a romantic hairstyle that has an edge and try out some natural-looking curls. To get the look start off by washing hair in shampoo and conditioner from the Pantene Pro-V Ice Shine collection. Apply Pantene Pro-V Ice Shine Mousse to wet hair and then blow dry. “A great way to achieve natural movement and waves in your hair is to twirl sections of your hair around your finger as you blow dry,” said Justin. Divide hair into one to two-inch sections and curl with a curling iron. Use a hairspray like Pantene Pro-V Ice Shine Maximum Hold Aerosol Hairspray to set curls and provide all-day hold and control. Flip your head over and gently massage with fingers at the roots to loosen curls.

I currently use Pantene conditioner from time to time and find that it leaves my hair silky soft and very manageable. It would be great to have the entire collection.
December 22nd, 2009 at 10:19
I love Pantene because it isn’t expensive, so it doesn’t cost a lot to have my hair looking great.

I love pantene products and I have used them for years awesome!!!!!!!!!!! It has worked for me and its the only product I have used that does not leave a buildup in my hair. I would be thrilled to win this great gift Maxine

I love using Pantene products because it is a realiable shampoo that works well and they have such a wide variety of shampoos/conditioners that it allows me to stay with the Pantene line but change the shampoo/conditioner from that line when my hair is acting up differently. For instance, in the dry winter months, I am more likely to use their Pantene Moisture Renewal but when my hair is being dull I can use their Ice Shine products etc. When my hair looks great I tend to feel better about myself so using Pantene products is a good way to maintain good looks on the outside but also good feelings within!

I love Pantene, because I have fine hair, and the products don’t weigh it down. I use the curling hair gel, and just love it.

I’d be the perfect winner for the Pantene contest because I love Pantene. My whole family uses the shampoo. My husband and teen sons like that it isn’t too girly, smells good and works. I like that the products (I use several more than my boys) give me the sort of results other women spends small fortunes for. I’m a subscriber. Thanks for the giveaway!

Hi, I would love to win this panteen pack, I have waist length hair and panteen leaves it shiny and squeeky clean, and having alot of sulpher in our water that is no small feat, with other shampoos I have to add baking soda to get the same “clean” feel I get from panteen, and on top of that all, the smell is wonderful, I love to have my hubby lean over to sniff my hair, it makes me feel so sweet. I thank panteen for their product line and thank you for the opportunity to win some.
