Dove Detox & Purify Dry Shampoo

 
Dove's Refresh + Care Detox & Purify Dry Shampoo is made to refresh and revive hair in the form of dry spray instead of regular shampoo that requires water. It removes oil and residue from hair and scalp leaving hair cleaner, fresher, and purified. This spray is 5 ounces and contains a weightless formula that doesn't leave any visible residue.
 
Use:
1.) Shake can before and during use.
2.) Massage around your roots to absorb oil and residue.
3.) Brush through hair.

  • My Thoughts
There are many times that I don’t feel like washing my hair although I need to, but having 3a/3b curly hair I never thought that dry shampoos would work for me for many reasons and I was skeptical but willing to try it out. Curly hair tends to get dry and a dry shampoo sounds like more dryness which leads to many other issues such as breakage, tangling, and overall unmanageability. Another reason includes lack of conditioner; if I use nothing else, I at least need conditioner! Its a must. Also, water is completely necessary for my hair to at least get it to look good. Without water my hair is straw.

Luckily, I found a way to incorporate this dry spray into my regimen to make it work.


  • My Use
I spray the dry shampoo onto my hair/scalp, I move my hair around a bit and massage my scalp, then I shake it out. Then I do as I usually do (but skip the conditioner step) and wet my hair to detangle it and brush it out. I go on to apply my regular styling products and let my hair air dry. Below is the what my curls look like after using the dry spray.
 
 

  • My Experience
I basically use this as a pick me up for my hair and although it is not as great as a full shampoo and condition, it is still able to refresh my curls when they start to go limp and bland while getting my hair cleaner than it was. This dry shampoo is able to remove some build up and revive my curls. My hair also feels a little cleaner ,despite some invisible residue left behind from the dry spray, and smells cleaner. After using this, my curls look great and I achieved the best curl clumping (as seen above), greatest volume ever, and increased thickness which is awesome. I would recommend this dry shampoo to people with a similar curl type or looser curl type than me.

I received this item from Influenster for testing purposes.
