My husband has problems with his hair. He was using a Nivea shampoo when I first met him he had TONS of dandruff and if he scratched it it was red and blotchy afterwards. I, for quite a few years now, have always used Pantene-just the normal one. It makes my hair softer, shinier. I just like the way it feels. I bought him the shampoo and conditioner all in one with antidandruff and the difference is amazing. His hair went from stiff and hard to soft. (it's not as soft as mine, but... :))
Recently, we found an old, still unused bottle of the Nivea shampoo. He decided that he would use that up, just so it wouldn't sit around anymore. He used it for a couple days and he noticed it kept itching on one spot on his head. I looked at it and sure enough the blotchy redness was back with skin around it. The next couple of nights he stopped using the Nivea and started using the Pantene and after about 4 to 5 days the red blochiness was gone! Needless to say we threw the Nivea bottle out and will be sticking with Pantene!
