Flabby arms have biceps curls; now weak hair has shampoos and conditioners that claim to strengthen it both inside and out. We asked cosmetic chemist Ni'Kita Wilson to judge how well four new sets work out.

Pantene Pro-V Beautiful Lengths Shampoo and Conditioner contain trace amounts of fatty alcohols that remain on the hair after rinsing, which can prevent breakage. Silicones--typically reserved for frizz-fighting products--form a shield that could be beneficial "if you blow-dry every day," Wilson says.

Biolage Fortetherapie Strengthening Shampoo and Conditioner are rich in ceramides (lipids found in skin and hair) and bamboo protein, both of which reinforce the cuticle. "The extra protein prevents hairs from splitting as quickly," Wilson says.
