    Pantene brunette conditioner - I know Pantene is supposed to be bad for your hair but I love it, makes my hair lovely and soft.
    QUOTE]

    Why is it supposed to be bad for your hair?

    Supposedly it's full of rubbish, lots of sillicones etc and there were some reports in America that it made you're hair fall out/gave you incurable diseases etc years ago.

    Also an out which I had forgotton about, the remainder of one of those 900ml bottles of Tresemme conditioner, there was about 125 ml left (I know as I had transferred it to a 250ml bottle) and I am sick of it and it has been around a long time now.

    I'd best avoid it then - I came back from holiday with a bald patch where it was shaved to put stitches in following a fall. Can't cope with losing any more hair :eek:

    I've been using it forever and never had a problem, so I wouldn't worry too much. I was told it contains silicone which coats your hair, but I always have a couple of different bottles of shampoo and conditioner on the go so hopefully it doesn't build up too much.

    Yeah, as I said, this was all years ago. Don't mean to scare you all !

  • Teeth Strips? Do you mean those whitening things? Ouch. If you've got thin tooth enamel, they can be pretty painful to use.
