This ProAdvice guide explores shampoos and conditioners suited to different hair types, so you can build a routine that feels right for you.
Best Shampoo and Conditioner Overall
For an everyday haircare system that feels balanced and versatile, Pantene’s Miracles Collagen family is a popular choice. Each formula combines Pro-Vitamin B5 with Collagen, made up of amino acids that help support softness, hydration, and a healthy-looking finish.
Pantene Miracles Collagen Shampoo
This shampoo features lipid-replenishing technology designed to support the hair’s moisture balance. The formula helps add moisture and contributes to hair that feels smoother and more hydrated.
Pantene Miracles Collagen Conditioner
This conditioner uses Pantene’s patented Silicone Quaternium-26, which spreads evenly across each strand. It helps smooth the hair surface and contributes to hair that feels soft and manageable.
Pantene Miracles Collagen Miracle Mask
This mask contains conditioning actives that are attracted to areas of the hair that feel more compromised. By adhering where hair needs extra care, it helps enhance surface smoothness, shine, and softness.
Pantene Miracles Oil
For finishing and frizz control, this nourishing oil blends different oils and specialised silicones that help smooth the hair. It helps smooth the appearance of split ends and contributes to a polished, glossy finish across all hair types.
Together, these Collagen Miracles products help enhance hydration, smoothness, and shine, making them a versatile choice for everyday routines.
Best Shampoo and Conditioner for Oily Hair
Oily hair often benefits from formulas that cleanse effectively while maintaining lightweight hydration. Pantene’s Hyaluron family is designed to offer that balance.
Pantene Miracles Hyaluron Shampoo
Powered by Micellar Cleansing Technology, this shampoo helps lift dirt, oil, and impurities from the hair. It includes Histidine, which supports a fresh, clean feel while helping maintain hydration along the lengths.
Pantene Miracles Hyaluron Conditioner
This lightweight conditioner features Silicone Quaternium-26 to help smooth and hydrate hair without weighing it down. It contributes to hair that feels airy, bouncy, and refreshed.
Pantene Miracles Hyaluron Serum
This serum blends water, oils, mineral oil, and key silicones in a lightweight texture. It helps nourish hair without heaviness and contributes to smoothness and shine while maintaining a light feel.
If your hair tends to feel oily at the roots but dry at the ends, this system can help support a balanced routine.
Best Shampoo and Conditioner for Blonde Hair
Whether natural or salon-coloured, blonde hair often benefits from formulas that support moisture and smoothness.
Blonde hair can be more porous, which may contribute to a drier or rougher feel. The lipid-replenishing technology in Pantene Miracles Collagen Shampoo helps support moisture levels, while the Collagen Conditioner helps smooth the cuticle for enhanced shine.
Using the Collagen Miracle Mask alongside the shampoo and conditioner helps enhance softness by targeting areas that feel more porous. Finishing with Pantene Miracles Oil helps smooth frizz and contribute to a luminous, healthy-looking blonde finish.
Best Shampoo and Conditioner for Curly & Frizzy Hair
Curly hair often benefits from extra moisture and smoothing care, as its natural structure can make it harder for oils to distribute evenly along the hair shaft.
Pantene’s Keratin Miracles family is designed to support softness and manageability for curls and waves.
Pantene Miracles Keratin Shampoo
Featuring Keratin-Binding Technology, this shampoo includes ingredients such as Stearyl Alcohol and Cetyl Alcohol that help replenish lipids during cleansing. The formula supports the hair’s keratin structure while helping strands feel smoother and softer.
Pantene Miracles Keratin Conditioner
This conditioner uses Silicone Quaternium-26 to help smooth the hair surface. When used together, the shampoo and conditioner contribute to curls that feel softer, smoother, and easier to manage.
Pantene Leave-In Smoothing Cream
This leave-in cream contains a blend of silicones and fatty alcohols that help smooth the outside and inside of the hair fibre. It contributes to consistent softness and helps define curls while minimising the appearance of frizz.
For curls that look smoother, softer, and more defined, the Keratin system can be a supportive daily choice.
Best Shampoo and Conditioner for Damaged Hair
Heat styling, colouring, and environmental factors can leave hair feeling dry or rough. Pantene’s Biotin Miracles family is designed to support softness and surface smoothness.
Pantene Miracles Biotin Shampoo
This shampoo includes moisture-replenishing ingredients such as Stearyl Alcohol and Cetyl Alcohol. The formula helps replenish lipids during cleansing, contributing to hair that feels softer and less dry.
