Goodbye, tutchang! Hello, Pantene Collagen Miracle!

Pantene Collagen Miracle Conditioner and Treatment Shots

We might call it chicken hair in some cases in English, but in Filipino, we know the very specific problem tutchang refers to! I’m sure everyone has experienced annoyance with those unruly baby hairs that are usually frizzy and untameable. Pantene has discovered that this kid of tutchang phenomenon is caused by excessive styling, humidity, and exposure to heat. These are all hard to avoid in the Philippines which is notorious for its heat and humidity all year round, so Pantene has opted to develop a hair solution instead.

Pantene Collagen Miracle range consists of conditioner and treatment shots. Both products come with Pantene’s world-famous Pro-Vitamin B5 formula and are enriched with miracle serum and real collagen. The two products are designed to target hair damage to strengthen hair and reduce frizz.

Collagen has taken the skincare world by storm in recent years as we all learned more and more about the integral role of collagen in our skin. I also wasn’t so aware of the benefits of collagen before, but after learning its integral role throughout the years, I have been taking collagen supplements and have been paying more attention to products with collagen. Mostly, it has been supplements and skincare, so this range of haircare with collagen is a first!

If you loved the fragrance of Pantene 3 Minute Miracle, you’ll also love this one, though in a different way. 3 Minute Miracle has this sophisticated tropical vanilla-strawberry fragrance, while this one has a sophisticated tropical floral fragrance.

Pantene Collagen Miracle Intensive Serum Conditioner (Php299 for 300mL, available at Lazada and Shopee) brings together collagen and Pantene’s Pro-V formula in perhaps the most epic marriage of 2020. I have been seeing haircare brands increasingly bring the best of skincare to haircare, so this is something I find to be exciting. This promises to “turn dry, frizzy hair even at the roots, miraculously into shiny, smoother hair every day”

The cute part is that they have a star-shaped applicator for this one. I’m going to have to practice my piping skills in the shower hahaha.

As for Pantene Collagen Miracle Treatment Shots (Php42 per 12mL shot, available at Lazada and Shopee), it’s the same banana, but with 40% more miracle serum for more intensive damage repair. It promises to give salon smooth hair within 15 minutes. I’m sure this was designed and ideated without COVID19 in mind, but now that the pandemic is here, this product sure comes in handy. Salon rules are still so hazy as I speak, and even if we could go to salons, we’d need to do so much precautions and wear so much PPE that it’s way more convenient to treat our hair with treatment shots like these instead. Of course, for the cuts and colors, we’d have to go to the salon for those. But at least for the conditioning and intense treatments, we can conveniently do those at home now with products like these.
