Advantages: The fragrance. Soft hair

Disadvantages: Too heavy for people with greasy hair

This is a review for the Shampoo and conditioner that matches it!

Price
****
After giving up on Tresemme I've tried a number of shampoos trying to find one I like. Generally I buy whatever is on offer, as I did when I saw this Dove one in Tesco recently. Proper price the 200ml bottles of shampoo and conditioner are £1.89 each, however they were on offer, buy one get one free. This product is widely available in Dove's signature classy but understated white curved bottles.

Claims
******
Dove are known for good quality rich moisturisers and so I expected these to leave my hair really soft as their creams do for my skin. The bottle states that the shampoo and conditioner both contain protecting serum to protect the hair as well as nourish.

Using the product
**************
The shampoo and conditioner are lovely to use. They are thick and creamy in consistency as you would expect from Dove. They also smell gorgeous and quite a few people commented and the fragrance which lingered a long while after using it. I like my shampoo to smell good so this was a real plus for this product.

The shampoo makes a good thick lather with just a little, but I did find it a little heavy and that is wasn't quite as deep cleansing as some other shampoos I'd used. I didn't get that squeak to my hair with this.

Results
******
My hair was soft and manageable after using this shampoo and conditioner and smelled wonderful. It wasn't as shiny as I would have liked and I have to say that clean feeling didn't last that long. I found towards the end of the day after washing it in the morning, my hair was starting to feel grubby.

Verdict
******
These products I think would be great for people with dry hair. For mine, which gets greasy easily, I think it's a little too heavy. Price wise, I'd only buy it if it's offer as I think nearly £2 per small bottle is a lot and a 200ml lasts no time on my hair.

Summary: A good shampoo, but not for my hair type
