My Opinion: - Since I started blogging and reading the wonderful reviews written by my co-bloggers, I have become very conscious about the health and look of my hair. I remember using a hair mask by Oriflame years back and loved it, sorry I don’t remember the name now. I was more than happy to receive this Dove hair mask from Indibloggers.  It comes in a white plastic tub which is kind of triangular in shape, the lid is screw on type and it does not have a protective shield to prevent the mask to come on to the lid if overturned. That makes it difficult to carry along in my travels but otherwise the lid clicks shuts tight and is perfectly travel-friendly. Dipping my fingers in the tub might contaminate the mask so I like tube packaging better.

                     Coming to the fragrance part this hair mask is sweet, mild and very feminine, the trademark Dove fragrance that we all seem to like. The consistency is very thick & creamy like body butter and the texture is soft like butter. This pale yellowish mask should be used once a week and I don’t use it as advised by the company. Well I have tried it as per their directions but I am more comfortable using it my own way. In winters, I take dollops of the hair mask and massage onto my scalp, down the length of my hair until my roots. Then I wrap a hot towel around my head and change for another hot towel as soon as the first towel is cold, I repeat this process as required. But in summers, I tie my hair into a pony tail, ofcoursre after shampooing my hair. Then the apply the mask on the pony tail alone :D I may or may not wrap a hot towel around my head, it depends on my mood, time etc

                    I have used this mask in a couple of ways, after shampooing and conditioning on towel dried hair as the rule says it; secondly after shampooing on towel dried hair without using conditioner and lastly on my wet- towel dried hair without shampooing. But I always follow the deep conditioning treatment with towel therapy. The first and last option works well for me in the winters when my scalp as well as hair is a little dry than normal. And the 2nd option works in summers/hot days.

                     This hair mask deep conditions my hair and makes it soft and shiny. The don’t have to use a serum/detangler or any other potion for that matter as my hair is extremely manageable and smooth after using this mask. This effect stays on for a week at the most and by then it’s time to use the mask again. I fall in love with my hair every week for a couple of days after using this hair mask. I wouldn’t say this is the best mask/treatment I have ever used but certainly it’s one of the best. I am on my 2nd tub now, hope that says it all.


Pros: -

* Suits my hair condition well, hair ends are no more dry after its regular use

* Affordable I would say, Rs 300 for 200 ml which is a good amount of product, not much is needed for a single use so takes about 2-2.5 months to get over

* Makes my hair manageable, soft and shiny and also controls frizz to quite an extent

* Does not make my scalp itchy when I apply it directly on my scalp

* I don’t need to use a serum/detangler after using this hair mask on my hair

* Contains coconut oil, sunflower seed oil & sweet almond oil in the form of vita oils which is very beneficial for the hair


Cons: -

* Contains Paraben

* Slips off my wet palms when it apply it on the length of my hair

* Tube packaging would have been better


                             I rate this Dove Damage Therapy Nourishing Oil Care Weekly Vita Oil Repair Mask 4.5 out of 5. I am on my second tub which is also about to get over now. I recommend this to girls with dry, normal as well as combination hair but girls with oily hair might get to see limpness in a couple of days after use, also might get a greasy scalp if care it not taken to apply below crown.

Hope you all enjoyed reading the review and please do share your experiences with us if you have used or are planning to use this hair mask. Thank you and have a nice day

Ingredients:- Aqua/Water, Cetyl Alcohol, PEG-180, Elaeis Guineensis Oil/Palm Oil, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Dodecene, Hydroxypropytrimonium Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Arginine, Chlorhexidine Digluconate,

My Opinion:- As I said in my review of Total Repair 5 Shampoo that I always follow up my shampooing with a good conditioner, I was using Total Repair 5 Conditioner along with that shampoo. And now that this conditioner is also about to get over I thought of reviewing it also.

The packaging is similar to the Total Repair 5 Shampoo, white sturdy plastic bottle with red flip open lid with gold border. I think its very much travel friendly as I am always on the go. The one difference between the shampoo and conditioner bottles is that the conditioner bottle stands inverted. The frangrance is mild floral and stays on for long.

The consistency of this conditioner is thick lotion like and creamy. A single pump is enough for my hair, though I apply conditioner only on the hair below my hairline. I have oily roots and dry ends and therefore I concentrate only on my ends. I apply it on my hair below scalp level and keep it on for a few minutes. Then I simply rinse off with water, I literally need a few gallons of water to wash out the conditioner as my hair feels too slippery.

This conditioner is very creamy and I love the softness it brings to my hair but using a liitle more quantity weighs down my hair and makes it go limp. So it took me a week or so to dediced on the perfect amount of conditioner my hair needed. I am not happy with the fact that this conditioner didn't work on the frizziness of my hair. Otherwise its a good conditioner for girls with dry hair.

Pros:-
* Creamy and very moisturising
* Gives shine and help sets my hair well
* Improved the overall look of my hair
* Give a certain amount of body/fulness to my hair

Cons:-
* I need gallons of water to wash off the conditioner completely
* Doesnt control frizz
* Makes hair limp and weighs it down if limit of quantity is exceeded
* Need to use a serum to control frizz as it failed miserably here

I rate this Total Repair 5 Conditioner 3.75 out of 5 as it gives me shiny thick looking mane. Of course it is a good conditioner for the girls with dry hair. But I don't think I will repurchase this conditioner again as of now.
