Dove's Amazingness

I inherited my mom's thick, naturally curly hair.  Over time, I have perfected my system of managing and straightening my hair.  Even so, my hair usually frizzes when it rains and grows in humid weather.  And since my perfected straight-hair system involves blow-drying my hair, all of the heat can leave my hair fried.  Add in time spent in the sun at the pool and the beach this summer, and the extremely hot weather my hair has endured the past few months. and my hair was feeling rough and looking for some love.

It is important to me to use a shampoo and conditioner that can prevent my hair from getting damaged from the constant heat while also helping me keep the unwanted frizz away.

I was thrilled to have the chance to try and review Dove's advanced conditioner, "Dove Nutritive Therapy Nourishing Oil Care Conditioner."  (Plus the UPS truck at your door is always exciting at our house!)  After my sample arrived, I looked forward to using it on my hair that night.  (I'm a PM shower-er.)

The Dove advanced conditioner container is designed so the bottle sits upright with the dispensing end on the bottom, so the conditioner is always ready when it's time to rinse out the shampoo and start conditioning.  Dove Nourishing Oil Care is nice and thick, and smoothed nicely through my wet hair.  I loved the way it smells...not overly flowery or fruity, but just an overall light, clean girly scent.

After towel-drying and combing out my hair, my hair was incredibly smooth and felt nourished.  No stickiness, it wasn't greasy, and it didn't hold the water in my hair like some smoothing and repair products tend to do.  (Which leads to longer time for me under the hair-dryer - boo!)

But with Dove's advanced conditioning, my hair dried nicely.  Once dry, my hair was incredibly soft to the touch.  I kept running my hands through my hair because it was so smooth.  I didn't have any fly-aways, my hair was silky, but still had all of it's natural volume.  My hair definitely felt healthier and nourished.  I felt pampered with touchable, soft hair that lasted all day!
