Dove Advanced Hair Series Oxygen Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner

Every time I run out of shampoo and conditioner, I go to the drugstore to find something new. I'm not faithful to any one product or brand because I find that most of them work in the same way.

 

However, this set has redefined the way I look at shampoo and conditioner. In the shower I didn't notice anything spectacular about either product. It was only after drying my hair did I find out how amazing these two products are.

 

I dried my hair and it was super soft. My hair had a weightless feel to it. (mind you that I have a lot of hair, and I always feel its weight) My hair was a little frizzy, but it always is after blow drying.

 

My favorite thing about the set is difficult to explain, but I'll try. I usually take showers at night, blow dry my hair on medium heat, use the cool shot to set my hair, and go to sleep. In the mornings, I always find that my hair has some texture in it; the bad looking texture that looks like extremely limp curls with a big crease near my shoulder. I believe the culprit is my pillow; I think my hair molds to the pillow and curls around it. 

Now, my natural hair is straight, so I hate it when I wake up and it is not that. The very first day after using the shampoo and conditioner, I found that my hair was, in fact, straighter in the morning. I hadn't done anything differently so I knew it was the shampoo and conditioner. But like any good experimenter, you can draw conclusion with one trial. I've been testing this shampoo and conditioner for about a month and my conclusion is that it does leave my hair straighter than usual with other brands. However, that first trial was the only time I was absolutely shocked. The times afterward, my hair was straight but not as straight as the first time.

 

Another conclusion is that I won't use the shampoo and conditioner every day. I don't know; I just found that they didn't work as effectively when you use it every day. (maybe try every other day or once a week)

 

At such an affordable price, I recommend you try these two products out. I believe on their site they are offering $1 off. Also, they have another set in the Advanced Hair Series: Pure Care Dry Oil. I can't wait to try out that line, especially because Dove says it has Macadamia Oil in it. As opposed to the Oxygen Moisture line, which gives your hair volume, the Pure Care Dry Oil line claims to make your hair silky and smooth without weighing the hair down.
