Someone told me a long time ago "In your family, there must have been some Mongolian that fell inlove with one of your ancestress." Well, he actually used a more blunt word for inlove, but let's keep it romantic.

The reason he was telling me that is because I have a slightly oriental look, although as far as I know there are no Mongolians in my family. My eyes are almond-shaped and it runs in the family, my uncle and my cousin have the same shape of eyes. Apart from a really nice shape of eyes, for which I get a lot of compliments, another gene that it was transmitted down for generations is a very fine, thin hair. In some ways, it's actually a very nice looking hair, it's fine, it's healthy and it shines. But if you think of any oriental person, you will often notice that it lacks volume, and this is my biggest problem. What is the point of having fine, shiny hair if you can not wear it long? The problem is that as soon as it passes shoulder length my hair looks like it's been glued to my scalp and my face it's draped by hair falling like a curtain.

This is mainly the reason for which the last 10 years I have cut my hair rather short. However, what started last year with me being too lazy to go for a haircut turned into a desire of letting my hair grow long once again.

The trick now it's handling the volume problem, so I set off to look for products that would help in this area. I have read somewhere that Pantene Sheer Volume Conditioner has won a test made by the German institute Stiftung Warentest as being the best volume conditioner. I don't usually use Pantene but after trying various products that haven't worked, I decided to give it a try.

The product:

It comes in a white plastic bottle with a purple and silver design typical for Pantene products. The lid is at the bottom, which makes it very easy to get it out and I imagine you can get every drop out. This conditioner is based on Pro-Vitamin formula, with an Amino-S Complex. The conditioner itself it's quite creamy, not very thick but not runny either, it has a nice consistency. It's white and it has a nice, soapy smell which I find it doesn't linger in your hair for very long (unfortunately).

What is it for?

Pantene Pro-V Sheer Volume Conditioner is the important second step to beautiful hair with volume, body, and amplified attitude. The silky, lightweight conditioning formula helps target the areas of your hair that need it most, giving you protection against combing/styling damage while respecting your
