Have you tried the new line of haircare from Pantene called Customized Solutions – created for your unique hair type?

New Pantene Customized Solutions hair care has been designed just for you!  Pantene has recognized that everyone does not have the same hair type and there is no one-size fits all approach to hair care.

The new line of Pantene Customized Solutions is available in stores this month!

Pantene Customized Solutions designed for 4 major hair types:

1. Fine Hair:  Fine hair has up to 50% less protein than thick hair which can make it less durable and flexible and prone to breakage.
2. Medium-Thick Hair:  Thick hair absorbs up to 4o% more moisture than fine hair which leads to frizz.
3. Curly Hair:  Curly hair has weakened cuticles due to the twists and turns which can leave hair rough and difficult to control.
4. Color-Treated Hair:  Color-treated hair is changed at a structural level.  It’s natural protective layer is removed which is one reason that your color looks dull over time.

 You can read about it online or you can find it any mass merchant (Target, Wal-Mart) or CVS, Walgreens or Rite Aid.

Pantene recently made me a “Panteneologist” – yay, a new title for me! 

What is a ”Panteneologist”?

As a “Panteneologist” I am here to share some great news with you!!!  Pantene has introduced a new line of hair care called Customized Solutions – created for your unique hair type!

As a “Panteneologist”, I got to put some Pantene products to the test and I got to try their new line of Customized Solutions hair care! 

I had fun trying to determine what my hair type is and what product would be best suited for me.  It was so easy to figure out with the very detailed information on their labels!  By the way, my hair type is “color treated”.

New Pantene Customized Solutions hair care has been designed just for you!  Pantene has recognized that everyone does not have the same hair type and there is no one-size fits all approach to hair care.

My review of the product:

As a girl, my hair is very important to me!  Girls, I know you can relate!  I love to use shampoo that makes me feel and make my hair look good.  I am pretty picky when it comes to shampoo and conditioner so I am always skeptical to try something new.

I loved using Pantene’s new Customized Solutions for many reasons. 

• I loved the way it smelled and made my hair smell good all day!
• Pantene makes a product just for me and my hair type.  I loved that!  It was so simple to figure out which product was for me!
• It’s easy to determine my hair type since they have broken it down to 4 hair types (listed above).
• I love the way it made my hair feel!  It really felt soft, smooth and shiny…how was that possible?
• I will definitely buy this product again!

I highly recommend the new line of products called Customized Solutions.  You can read about it online or you can find it any mass merchant (Target, Wal-Mart) or CVS, Walgreens or Rite Aid.

My good friend and Co-Author, Elizabeth, has asked me to test and review the New Rainbow Brite CD Pak, containing games, puzzles and much more! 

I’m sure many of you remember the Original Rainbow Brite!  I know I do, and I loved it as a child.  I remember having quite a few of the characters, books, and watching  the TV Show.  I wish I still had them for my little girl. 

That being said, the New Rainbow Brite CD Pak was truly a treat!

My kids enjoyed watching me play as well as giving it a try themselves.  There are learning games, puzzles and  adventures, and much more to be explored.   This is not only a Learning CD but also a fun interactive way for kids to enjoy learning!

Rainbow Brite, as always,  brings a message of Courage, Hope and Kindness! 

If you remember Rainbow Brite as a child, give your kids the same chance to enjoy her as well!  GO HERE for more information!

Disclosure:  For this post, we did receive complementary product to review from Mom Select and Hallmark.  We thank them both for the opportunity to try and review their product!
