I’m as low maintenance as they come with hair. I always let my hair air dry, usually wear it up in a bun, get it colored every few months, and have it decide for itself where it wants to part when I brush it in the morning. Add in shampoo and conditioner and you’ve got my hair routine in a nutshell.
Do I wish I was a skilled stylist that could work magic with a brush and a flat iron? Absolutely.
Since I know hair styling is not a strength of mine I focus on letting the products do as much of the work as possible for me. It’s why I was so excited for the opportunity to try out Dove Pure Care Dry Oil products. Products that can smooth and soften without me having to do anything but wash my hair like I normally do? Yes, please!
I was sent the Dove Pure Care Dry Oil shampoo, conditioner, and dry oil nourishing treatment for dull, dry hair. Made with a blend of African Macadamia oil and Coconut oil these products are designed to create beautiful, silky hair without the heavy, greasy feeling you can get with some products. The Dove Pure Care line is suitable for all hair types and at a fraction of the cost of many salon hair brands.
I grew up using Dove and have a true love for the brand. Their clean, gentle formulas were the only ones suitable for my sensitive skin as a kid. Now that I’m an adult they’re still the ones that my dermatologist recommends for me. I’ve never had a bad experience with any of their products so I was really looking forward to trying this new line out.
The first time I used the Dove Pure Care Dry Oil in the shower I fell in love with the scent. It smelled like I was at a spa. As my hair dried I noticed how soft it was. It was the softest my hair had felt in a long time.
Side shot of my shiny locks. Major thanks to Jeff and Joanna for not minding me using their living room for these pictures. I didn’t have time to snap pictures before I left the apartment on our way to Friendsgiving.
I couldn’t get over how shiny my hair was. It almost hid the fact that I am way overdue for a hair appointment! (I get a gloss put on over my color treatments, so one of the first things I notice with my hair is when it loses that gloss.)
I found myself touching my hair a lot that night. While the products didn’t magically turn me into a Kardashian sister with luscious Armenian tresses, it did make my hair softer, sleeker, and shinier. Which for my thin, limp hair is a big deal.
I will definitely keep using these products on my hair. I loved the way it made my hair look and feel and the fact it could add shine without grease.

Questions of the Day: Are you a Dove fan? What is your hair like? What does your hair routine involve?
I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls Collective and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.
Dove is great, my best friend in high school used to use their deodorant and body spray, and she always smelled amazing. I’m sure that hair oil smells amazing. My hair is super fine so I often use macadamia oil or else it gets weighed down.
Love how your hair looks here. So pretty!
Thanks Kay! I use Dove deodorant too! I love how it smells!
I am a HUGE fan of Dove given their true beauty focus – I haven’t tried their shampoo (hubby uses it) but I swear by their deodorant 🙂
I love their Deodorant too!
WOW your hair does look silky smooth. I’ve recently been having trouble with shampoos and have been looking for something new; might need to give this a try! Thanks
I hope you love it!
My hair has been really dry recently too! I think it is the weather…I might need to try these Dove products out. I am getting my haircut on Saturday and can’t wait!
I am hosting my first linkup today on LSR called Tried it Tuesday – I think this post would be perfect for it. If you would like to linkup and check out what others are trying:

Not gonna lie, it was super entertaining watching that photo session! 😉
All I can say is poor Josh! haha
I was really happy with the results! Yay for Dove!
Wow – this made your hair super shiny!! I may have to pick this up during the dry winter months when my hair hates me lol.
I was really impressed with it!
Good review. I used to use the Dove products religiously, but have moved on to higher end brands now. Dove is good for the price

Thanks Robyn! I was so happy with how well the Dove products worked!
Your hair is so shiny and smooth! I love Dove.
Me too! Dove makes great stuff.
Hi Erin,
Your hair does look so shiny! I started using Dove’s Oxygen Moisture Shampoo a few months ago, and I have found it really helps my flat, fine hair have more volume and not fall flat so quickly. I’m a huge fan of it! Good to know that Dove’s products are working so well for so many different hair types!
Warmest Regards,
Cynthia at styleneverstops.com
Ohh I’ll have to look into the Oxygen Moisture line!
What are the ingredients like for the set? Are there parabens or silicone in them?
Hey Paige! How are you? Here’s the ingredients. I see things that end in cone so I’m thinking there’s silicones. But I’m not seeing any words that include paraben so I’m not thinking there’s any of those. Is that how that works? To be honest I’ve never really checked that sort of information for hair care. Can you enlighten me?

Nice! Your hair does look good. I have been using Broo–it’s a shampoo made with beer. You can find it at Whole Foods. It does smell kinda questionable, but my hair is in the best shape it’s ever been. Even my stylist noticed so I’m gonna keep using it. 🙂
Ohh I’m going to have to look into that! Thank you!
Your hair looks really nice. I’ve been using a new shampoo and conditioner. My hair feels so dry and brittle now.
Can I just say I love your cat? So cute!!
