It made a lot of sense, about the whole not striping the hair of it's natural oils. So I was thinking abolut getting it, but thought i'd ask you guys first. Thanks in advance!

If you try it, please let us know what you think in the product review thread!

I really liked them when my hair was dyed black. I think I still have intense moisture conditioner. It's got a cone (dimethoconol I believe.) One thing I really like about Dove is their advertising. Their "campaign for real beauty" was a great design move.

I've also seen the commercial for their products that claim not to strip the natural oils from your hair, I'm not sure what to think. A hair group I'm in on livejournal has been talking about this too and many people came to the conclusion that the ingrediants didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary when compared to a lot of other products. I haven't tried Dove before, so I can't say what I think of it from experiance. If the commercials claims are true, I'd be happy to give it a shot. Just thought I'd toss in what I've heard though.

Hello, Beesan

I received a few sample packets of Dove Intense Moisture in the mail once, tried them and rather liked them.

My only real opposition to the line is that they don't make a leave-in spray conditioner, which is essential to my hair care regimen because my fine hair is impossible to detangle otherwise.

They are also a wee bit on the expensive side last time I checked. Other than that, I dig it.

I suppose you could give it a shot. *shrug* What's the worst that could happen? If you hate it, you don't have to keep using it. Wink

If you go on the dove.com website and go to haircare, they are giving away free samples of the new shampoo & conditioner. I sent away for it, but haven't received it yet.

I tried Dove when it first came out, and really didn't like it. It left my hair very weighed down and residue-y feeling. I know there is a Dove discussion somewhere else on the boards here...

But, maybe their formula has changed over the years..who knows! I would try a free sample again, but it would have to be pretty darn good to convince me to buy their stuff again!

I like it, my hair also does well with cones though. It also contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate, which I have heard is good to hair compared to Sodium Laryel Sulfate.

Thanks Ladies!

I tried it, and it left my hair feeling rubbery, with a disgudting squeak to it Tongue

and i had to use a Suave conditioner after that. Then i decided to give it a second chance, and i ACV'd before using it just to see if the build up was the problem...no luck Undecided

Anyway, I now use Natures Gate Jojoba shampoo and conditioner, and i love it Cheesy

and thanks again for the reviews Cheesy

P.S. Kimberlily- you leave-in sounds great!

... now all i need is a trip to Whlefoods

Not the best criteria for judging shampoo/condish, but oh well. I agree that the shampoo seems a little harsh--so I use very little. But I really like the conditioner, though. My .02 Kim
