From LoveToKnow Hair

Pantene hair products, best known for the Pro-V line of affordable hair products is the world's number one selling line of shampoo, conditioner, hair color, hair spray, and other similar products. The company's products are designed to bring out the full potential of one's hair as well as promoting healthy, shiny, full hair. Pantene is a wholly-owned brand of Procter and Gamble Company, the Cincinnati Ohio-based conglomerate, known for such famous brands as Tide, Pringles, Folgers, Crest, and Charmin.

Company History

Pantene was created in 1947 by the Swiss drug manufacturer Hoffman-LaRoche. It was primarily a European shampoo company until it was acquired in 1983 by Richardson-Vicks, who expanded the product line to 100 products, sold mainly in salons and department stores. They also expanded Pantene's coverage to include the United States and Canada.

When Richardson-Vicks was acquired in 1985 by Proctor and Gamble, the conglomerate acquired the hair product line along with the sale. P&G expanded the product line and its sales outlets to include drug and variety stores as well as salons. P&G also developed, in 2003, the first product line by a major manufacturer designed exclusively for women of color. They followed, in 2005, with a line designed exclusively for Hispanic women.
