*~Panthenol~*

yep, this is fabulous info!

has anyone ever tried panthenol with perming?

either adding it to the perm, to the pre neutralizing midstep, or the post perm process?

i have some in my hair right now with my dc concoction!:lick:
 
Is anyone adding more than just a few drops? Really? Only a few drops for a whole bottle of conditioner or roller setting concoction? I too, don't want to use "too much" but want to use enough to make a difference. What amounts have you all found is best?
 
Usage:
Rinse-off hair conditioner 1% to 5%
Leave-in hair conditioner 0.1% to 0.5%
Hair tonic / serum 0.3% to 1.0%
Facial & body lotions 0.2% to 1.0%
Anti-aging serum 0.4% to 2%
After-sun lotions 0.5% to 2.0%

I use this is my homemade DCs, sprays, and leave in
 
This is something worth looking into for my fine hair too so I may order it from lotioncrafter.com. I hope they also have the powder form.
 
bumping.....anyone still using this? I bought the powdered version and I am going to start adding it to my conditioner mix. Should I dissolve it in water first, or can I just add it as is?
 
Well, I used a teaspoon in 4 ounces of conditioner mixed with oil. I think that was enough, I could feel a difference in my hair. It was thicker, a little 'stiffer', after I dried it.
 
LaidBak So you didnt notice any moisturizing properties? I have a bag of the powder that I would like to use, but I'll pass if it's going to make my hair hard.

Oh no! I didnt mean stiff in a bad way. My hair was very soft. But compared to my normal DC results what I noticed was an increased feeling of thickness. I was just searching for the right adjective. Maybe 'increased body' is a better way to put it.
 
I been using the powder form for about 1 month now and I didn't use it yesterday in my spray/water mix and I could tell a difference.. I plan to go back using it along with my TerrEssentials Hair Wash and Qhemet AOHC..
 
I have been taking the capsule form for about 2 years now (I break the capsule open and swallow the powder with lots of water and a vitamin c tablet) and it does make my hair thicker. Its going on 2 months since I stopped, using it but I do feel it did benefit my hair. I never knew we could had them into conditioner.
 
I've been using my pathenol enhanced liquid leave in for a while now. I can definitely feel an increased strength in my hair. I lose much less hair when combing my wet hair. I'm hoping this really helps me thicken up my thinning hairline and retain some growth.

I decided to actually take 2 pantothenic acid capsules (500mg each) instead of the topical panthenol. It is working wonders at thickening up my hair along with 5000mcg of biotin and 2000mg of msm daily. I open up the capsules and add them to my smoothies along wiht other vitamins - never even taste them. So easy this way.
 
I've heard about this being done in Brazil ... girls would add it to their conditioner and it;d moisturize your hair A LOT... I don't know where to buy it though ... I should check my local hair store it seems pretty safe.

I've added panthenol to 'poo, conditioner and leave-ins over the years but I found that for maximum results (really THICK looking hair when dry) I add to my leave-in and oils on wet hair before rollersetting/drying. The BEST results I get is adding a few drops to nexxus headdress and apply to wet hair, rollerset and dry -- serious bounce and volume for days!

Need this in my life for my roller sets!
 
For anyone who's interested lotioncrafters has DLpanthenol in the powder form. (Which I LOVEEEE) but I also have the one from makingcosmetics.com that has 100% D-panthenol in the liquid form which I prefer for my hair products! There are slight differences with each one! But panthenol is some amazing stuff...just dont overdo it bc it tends to be super sticky!!!

If I am using the powdered panthenol, it comes with a tiny spoon and I only use a half of that . If im using the liquid panthenol then i use a medicine dropper and use like 2 drops! I mostly use the powder for my skin and the liquid in my hair
 
*** BUMP ***

Does this really work? I need something to make my hair thicker looking. My hair is growing longer and longer yet it seems to be thinning out to me.
