Dove Hair Dare

You know I love, love, love testing out new beauty products and passing my recommendations on to all of you!  That’s why I jumped at the chance to partner with Dove Canada to review their new Regenerative Nourishment collection.  Up until a few months ago, my hair was as healthy as ever.  Then, I decided to have a little fun and start colouring it again (hello greys what an early time to be seeing you..) and I saw the effects of the hair dye immediately.  Trying out a new product that’s supposed to repair my hair couldn’t have come at a better time!

Not only had I recently began colouring my hair again, but I also completed Dove’s “Weekend Hair Dare”.  My stylist Nadia Bullock and I worked together to create a cool hairstyle that I had never tried before!  The results were this gorgeous half up braided ‘do and…pink hair??!  Yeah, that’s right!  I was able to temporarily sport some coral-ish pink highlights and it was kind of the best.

It was a blast having wildly coloured hair for a few days, but it was most definitely time to wash it out and see what Dove’s Regenerative Nourishment was all about.  There isn’t some complicated 7 step process, which works out perfectly for me.  I usually have a couple shampoo/conditioner systems in the shower at all times and like to mix it up every wash.  Keeps things interesting and my hair guessing!  So, I’m always looking for a new pair to add to the roster.  Anyway, I shampooed and conditioned as normal using the Dove RN line.  I immediately liked the feel of both products and the smell is heavenly!  Once it was all washed out and I’d completed my usual songs (and deep thinking, I swear my best ideas come from my time in the shower) I then towel dried for a few minutes before applying 4 pumps (remember I have an excessive amount of hair) to the damp locks.  I’ve tried other hair oils and this one is one of my favourites because it doesn’t leave a heavy residue on the strands.  I then blow dried and straightened as I would and the results were my hair, exactly how it usually is, but healthier and lustrous.  And that, my friends, is a big WIN!

When I’m testing out a new beauty product, I swear it’s like everyone somehow knows.  I met a friend for coffee and when we hugged goodbye she exclaimed “Oh my gosh, your hair smells AMAZING,” and I got to recommend the Dove RN collection organically.  Later on that same day, another friend commented on how silky my hair looked and it was yet another vote of confidence in the effects of the Regenerative system.

If you’re feeling like you need a little hair pick-me-up, then I absolutely think you should try out the new Dove Regenerative Nourishment collection, especially if you also have thick hair like me.  It’s extremely well priced and I feel like it’ll be the perfect addition to your hair care routine.

A big thank you to Dove for partnering with me for this post and giving me the opportunity to try out the Weekend Hair Dare and share my thoughts on the new RN products.
