Remember back in September when I shared how I had tested Dove’s Intensive Repair Shampoo and Conditioner? Well now that I’ve been using it for well over a month I’m here to give you a little update on my progress. Spoiler alert: I have been having quite a few great hair days lately. (I mean, have you checked out my Instagram lately? Rarely a hair out of place, I tell ya.)
I’ve been incredibly impressed with how manageable, smooth and sleek my hair has been. Super-soft locks that lead to great hair day after great hair day? You know I’m a happy camper. So are you curious to know what’s been working for me? Here are three tips that have helped tame this mane:
1. I don’t wash my hair every day. In fact I don’t even wash it every other day. It took me a little while to “train” my hair to cooperate, but now I can’t imagine it any other way. Not only is it a time-saver in the mornings, but I swear that my hair has less damage.
2. Less heat styling. Since I’m not washing my hair every day, I don’t need to blow dry it daily either. I’ve come up with a nice system. Day one, I blow dry post-shower. On day two, I typically curl. Day three is either brushed out waves from the day before or it goes in an up-do. Less heat, less damage!
3. Dove! I really am impressed with the way that my hair looks and feels after using their products. Just after two minutes setting in the conditioner, I feel like a new woman. Frizz and dead ends, be gone! And like I said last time, the smell is fantastic.
But you really don’t have to just take my word for it. You can get a sample yourself! The first 500 entrants to sign up can win a sample from the Dove line! So be sure to sign up before they’re all snagged, and let me know if you love it!
Dove understands that having beautiful, healthy-looking hair gives you the confidence to feel your best. Whether your hair is dry or damaged, Dove has a tailor-made solution for your hair care needs. After just one wash hair is shiny, healthy-looking and full of life. Thanks to Dove, you can look and feel beautiful from the inside out.

Your hair is lovely!! I signed up to receive a sample! I hope my hair looks half as good as yours! Susan
I’ve stopped washing my hair everyday as well. I feel like my hair looks better even on the second day than the day that I wash it. You really are having some great hair days!!
I do the same with my hair – I use dry shampoo often so I don’t have to wash my hair everyday. Which also means I use less heat! I definitely notice a difference in my hair too! I wish my hair liked Dove products. I have heard great reviews about this shampoo, but Dove usually makes my hair so greasy! But maybe I need to give it another go!

Ahhh…if only I had half the hair you have! My hair gets so greasy if I don’t wash it every day. I know I could “train” it, but I just can’t stand myself long enough to do it. How long did it take you to get used to it?
This is pretty much the ONLY shampoo I use–it makes my hair feel super healthy and smells ah-mazinggggg!
Woohoo for Dove! They do make great products! 😀 Glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t wash my hair every day, some people think I’m weird…haha

Your hair really has been looking gorgeous lately! I wash my hair every other day, but tend to just throw it in a pony or bun on day two. Maybe I’ll try curls instead!

Your hair is so pretty! How do you get your curls to look so perfect?!
I have to wash my hair daily since it gets very oily. I’ve tried skipping days and even with dry shampoo it just doesn’t look right!

I use some Dove products for my hair (not shampoo though) and I love them! Plus, I’m a huge Dove advocate since their soap is the only one I’ve ever used!
Very pretty! I have been trying to do the same with mine but Day 2 has been restraightening. Now that it’s longer and I try curling too. I need a few mor inches to put it up still but I’m getting there

I’ve been using Dove Intensive Repair for a couple of years and it brought my hair back from a perm disaster (which I will never do again). It’s a miracle conditioner!
I have been training my hair too and it’s amazing what a difference it makes! Although today is day two and its not going sooo well today but oh well, that’s what pony tails are for, right?
I have to try this out! My haircare routine is similar to yours in that I try to only use heat a few times a week!

I’ll have to check this shampoo out…sounds fabulous!
yea I was my hair every 3-4 days and it’s learned to cooperate. I just have very frizzy hair and by not washing it as often, I find it helps.
I use Dove conditioner and I have to say it is really good.
Love your hair. I also don’t wash my hair everyday. No one should. It just dries it out. I also don’t wash my sons either every day. Love your necklace and your polka dot top.
Don’t forget to link up tomorrow to my weekly Tres-Chic Fashion Thursday Link Up.
