Dove approached me a few weeks ago to participate in their #HairDare challenge and at first I was a little reluctant, but after hearing what their new Regenerative Nourishment system has to offer I knew I had to give it a whirl!
If you’ve been following Over My Styled Body for a while then you’ve heard about my hair journey and the state my hair used to be in. Think Rihanna red mixed with Mrs. Frizzle. Yikes! So finding nourishing products that aim to repair and treat damaged hair is always priority.
Before digging in and trying Dove’s products, my personal #HairDare was going back to my hair roots, no pun intended, and going au natural! My hair is actually very curly and for the past few years I’ve steered clear because for one, it has a mind of its own and two, I try and avoid using multiple heat tools at all costs to minimize damage.
After letting my hair do its thing and using both a diffuser and curling wand to style it, my curls felt pretty dry and in need of hydration. The curls also weren’t as tight and had a lot more frizz than they used to in the past. With that mini hair meltdown behind me, Dove encouraged me to try styling my hair again, but this time using their 3-part Advanced Hair Series regimen of Regenerative Nourishment products before and during the process. I was really reluctant because my hair had already taken a beating, but I figured I would give it another shot!
Well, my friends, I’m so happy I did, because it was like my hair spent the day at the spa and came out a whole new woman! Using the Dove Regenerative Nourishment Shampoo and Conditioner was the first step, but the real difference-maker for my hair was the Serum-In-Oil. I applied the oil to my hair right after getting out of the shower and carried on diffusing my hair. Like many curly-haired ladies I know, frizz is inevitable, but I used the oil again after my hair was dry and wow did it ever make a difference! My curls felt soft and well hydrated which made me feel even more confident when using my curling wand afterwards. I knew my hair could take a little extra heat without risking more damage.
