When I was a young girl my hair was so long and thick my hair dresser referred to it as a “lion’s mane”. Sadly it’s nothing like it used to be. It’s still a bit thick, but not like it used to be 20+ years ago.
When you think about it we tend to “torture” our hair. From perms to hair coloring and from straightening to haircuts we try to forget we had (especially haircuts we gave ourselves – NEVER try to cut your own hair. LOL).
I knew that aging had some kind of effect on your hair, but I didn’t realize that getting older can really change the quality of your hair. Your hair actually ages with you. Sigh…
Pantene, a leader in hair car products, recently partnered with experts in the field. They complied clinical data from more than 1,000 women and their hair.
The results, as well as additional research, Pantene discovered new truths about hair aging. There are seven signs of aging that most women experience:
- Breakage
- Split Ends
- Frizz
- Unruly Grays
- Lackluster Color
- Thin look
- Dryness
Key findings also revealed that the hair aging process begins before menopause, around age 35, and symptoms go beyond graying and thinning.
I have ALL seven signs. 🙁
In response to their findings, Pantene has launched a new line of products specifically for aging hair. The product line is called AgeDefy. Using the products can help your hair to look up to ten years younger. The products were created to counteract the seven signs of aging. Some of the products include a shampoo, conditioner, thickening treatment and masque.
Through the end of December, Target stores nationwide will be highlighting the new anti-aging hair care products from Pantene. They will also be highlighting new Olay Professional anti-aging products too.
I have been using the products for a couple of weeks now. I wouldn’t say my hair looks 10 years younger, but it does look better then it has. It’s softer and has a bit more shine to it. I think it’s helped the split ends a bit too. I do need a haircut, so my hair would probably look even better if I had a “health cut”.
To learn more about the new Pantene products visit www.Pantene.com. You can also find the brand on Facebook and Twitter.
To find a Target location near you visit www.Target.com.
I have a special prize package for a lucky reader. The prize package includes the following FULL SIZE products;
- Pantene Expert Collection Age Defy Shampoo
- Pantene Expert Collection Age Defy Conditioner
- Pantene Expert Collection Advanced Thickening Treatment
- $10 Target Gift Card
The retail value is just shy of $45.00.
This giveaway is open to US residents only and will end on December 31, 2012 at 11:59 PM (EST). The winner will be chosen at random using a random number generator from all eligible entries. The winner will be notified via e-mail and will have three days to reply or a new winner will be chosen.

My hair is now almost all gray and in some places (esp around my face) silver. It is a different texture….more coarse than it was before. I actually like it most of the time. The bad things are that the coarseness of it makes me itch if I let it grow, and my scalp seems to be much dryer. At times the color looks flat, dull. I’d like it to shine.
