I really like the packaging of this line - the bottles are easy to squeeze, and the white & purple colours are aesthetically pleasing. This line has that classic shampoo scent that a few drugstore hair care lines seem to have - no complaints here! The shampoo has a thinner formula, but lathers well. The conditioner is fairly thick, but still somehow lightweight. The styling product in this line is the Silk
Crème, and comes in a small bottle with a pump dispenser. I find myself having to use about 7 pumps of this product, since such a small amount is dispensed each time. I also have quite thick hair, so most people won't need that much product.
Overall, I have to say that I'm pretty disappointed with the results from this line from Dove. My hair was left feeling quite dry, and very frizzy. The amount of frizz is pretty embarrassing, and it didn't decrease with subsequent uses of this line. I do think that anyone with fine, limp hair (i.e. the people Dove say this line is meant for!) will like this lightweight formula, but it's just not for me. I need something a bit heavier, a bit more hydrating.
I guess this little experiment just goes to show that you can't just walk blindly into the drugstore and expect the same results from every hair care brand. Take some time to read the bottles, and find out what line will best suit your hair type. What works for your sister/bff/daughter/boss might not necessarily work for you. I do want to give props to Dove for creating a hair care line for aging hair, as that's not something that we see all that often!
What's your favourite drugstore hair care range?
ahh yeah i need my hair to be weighed down! can i say i really like the purple packaging though?
ReplyDeleteYa I feel like we have similar hair types Zoe!
DeleteI agree, the purple packaging is so pretty!
I think so! Lately I have been straightening my hair very often after a ...haircut... so it's weird because I don't need to/want to pile in as much conditioner and hair masks when washing and I'm like, is this what the rest of the world feels like?
DeleteOh haha! Ya that's always such a strange feeling, will take some getting used to!
DeleteI think this would be perfect for my thin hair! Too bad it didn't work for you though :(
ReplyDeleteIf you have thin hair then I think you would love this line!
