I have really straight, fine and thin hair, I think I got it from my dad. People might often see that as a plus but I sometimes see it as a minus (just wanna rhyme the line, I mean disadvantage)...

Ya, it's a blessing to have that kind of baby soft hair texture (Chean loves it) but it is just way too soft sometimes, in other words it is very F.L.A.T and L.I.M.P!!! That gives me enough headache to style or to do anything to it.

So I decided to change my hair color to a lighter tone 3 years ago, and that makes a dramatic changes in my life. It instantly brings more definition to my hair and also seems to create the illusion of the extra hair volume. I didn't stop there but taking it to the next level, I curl my hair too. Not the perm, I just curl it with curling iron, like every 2-3 days, or whenever I feel like it.

Here comes the problems...

After all the damage I've done to my hair, with the frequent coloring, chemical treatment, over-styling, and frequent blow-drying, I think I'm tasting the negative consequences now -- Hello, unmanageable & damaged hair T____T

Thus, getting good hair care products is beyond essential, especially with damaged hair and the fact that I shampoo my hair every day (I know some people may find this extremely interesting, especially in the winter, but it truly is a Malaysian thing, we shower at least once a day, it's a habit, a good one I suppose). I love Asience, Alterna & Redken hair care products, and I've been switching between these brands over these years. Until recently... I discovered something so good when I was running out of Asience conditioner last week, I truly think it deserves a full post...

Dove® Nutritive Therapy Nourishing Oil Care products.

You have to try the Nourishing Oil Care Daily Treatment Conditioner (left), it's soooooo good! I bought this first before getting the shampoo & leave-in smoothing cream.

This is the leave-in smoothing cream that I use every day now, adore its lovely scent and it moisturizes the roots of my hair in no time.

Just a little amount will do the job!

Use the palm of your hand to gently rub the roots of your hair...

When I first got my hands on Dove hair care products six years ago, it was a huge disappointment, the products did not reach my expectation at all, I then never purchased any of it again. Lately, I just don't know what got into me that makes me so sentimental, I think everything deserves a second chance, so I picked the Daily Treatment Conditioner over the hundreds of other brands, although they are all sitting together sharing the same shelves at Target. But I'm so glad that I did give Dove, and also give my hair a chance to rejoice in its good fortune.

One last piece of sincere advice, what works for me may not work for you, vice versa. And, the brands/products you like or dislike in the past may not do justice to their current innovations. Just keep an open mind and don't judge before trying.

Say yes to beautiful hair, beautiful face and well, a beautiful heart too~~ It's the whole package of true beauty we are talking about.

Now go kick start your beautiful day with Dove's cute ads. I hope you enjoy reading this review, see you soon~~






Love & Kisses,
Bev

Oh you are so cute Bev! I found your blog this weekend and everyday try to read some of your older posts backwards. I love your asian recipes! I love Chinese and Malaysian food and have a hard time finding good, authentic recipes in English. So would love to see more of those!
Also, love your color contacts in this post. Which ones are they?
Also, sorry so many Q's., I know you are religious about re-applying sunscreen. What kind of sunscreen do you reapply after you have done all your make-up for the day?
Good to know about the Dove Hair things too. :)
