Dove UltraCare Collection Review.

Your hair is unique. Shouldn’t your conditioner be, too? I wanted to be one of the first to tell you about Dove’s NEW UltraCare collection, the brand’s first-ever customized conditioner series.

Available in three different formats (a foam, milk gel and crème!) and formulated with our patented Micro-Conditioning Complex, it’s designed to deliver the right level of nourishment that truly gets your hair. Providing a whole new way to choose the right levels of nourishment for your hair type, it’ll leave your hair nourished, healthy looking and cared for.

Dove UltraCare Conditioners is the brand’s first-ever conditioner series with three customized formats to care for your hair.

Crème: The most potent conditioner in the range, contains the highest levels of innovative Dove Micro-Nourishing Complex to fortify and instantly smooth each strand to look glossy and healthy. While the Micro-Conditioning Complex and unique patented conditioner technology nourish and visibly repair hair from the outside, Keratin Repair Actives get to work at the core of every strand, helping to strengthen hair’s internal bonds.

Milk Gel: The innovative foaming technology utilizes tiny bubbles of moisture to ensure that the formula is lighter than a conventional conditioner and can run through hair with ease, detangling, smoothing and hydrating hair in an instant.

Foam: The glossy Milk Gel formula contains powerful plant-based moisturizing agents, able to replace the heavy waxes used in conventional conditioners, to supply the much-needed moisture without the weight.


My Thoughts:


I've been a fan of Dove products for many years. I was raised using their soap that was always extremely moisturizing for my sensitive skin. As I got older, I fell in love with their body washes. When I heard Dove was coming out with the UltraCare collection, it was so exciting. Dove was kind enough to share this line with me and I can't want wait to share it with you. Thank you, Dove!

Having fine, thin hair, I could not wait to try the foam line. Never hearing of foam conditioners before, this was such a unique product line that quickly became my favorite. After dispensing it in the shower, it smelled amazing. Not too strong, but just enough to add a classy fragrance. What I noticed about the foam conditions is that they deposit very nicely and saturate the hair follicles without feeling heavy.

My first foam attempt was with the Weightless Volume conditioner. After blow drying my hair, I was shocked at the volume I had. Not only did it liven my hair, it did indeed feel weightless. The best part? The volume stayed all day! Unlike other styling products that eventually fade, my hair remained looking vibrant and full of life. The second Foam conditioner was the Weightless Moisture. I loved this one! It made my scalp feel hydrated and left a soft, shiny sheen to my hair. This one also felt just as weightless as the other and had a similar unique scent.


The second conditioners I tried were the Balanced Repair Milk Gel and the Balanced Moisture Milk Gel. This was an interesting texture and great smell. I wouldn't say it's a gel as much as a thick serum almost. Still, it went on extremely well and felt very silky on my scalp. After showering I noticed that it did indeed make my hair look more radiant. The difference between the Balanced Repair and the Balanced Moisture was that one left my scalp feeling more hydrated and shiny, while the Repair added more texture and natural bounce. My mom tried both lines as well and said it was like it put life back into her damaged hair.

Lastly, I had the unique Concentrated Repair Creme and Concentrated Moisture Creme conditioners. These are great for hair that are thick in texture and very dry or damaged. Since my hair is fine, I took only a little bit of the thick creamy conditioner. I was quick to see that a little does go a long way. As for fragrance, these were the strongest smelling and it was delightful. Not only did the creme make my hair feel extremely soft and lightweight, the smell stayed with me.

If you are looking for a new line of conditioners to upgrade to or try, I highly recommend Dove's UltraCare line. These are all incredible and give higher end brands a run for their money. I will certainly be continuing to use these in my beauty routine.

My Thoughts:

I see Dove commercials constantly while watching television. The products always appear to be high quality and relaxing. It appears as if the users are going to have a luxurious spa day. After hearing so many good things, as well as seeing how much Dove campaigns for women, I was very excited to give these products a try. I personally love essential oils, and one of my main complaints has always been finding the perfect system to keep my dry skin away. My main trouble areas are my legs and hands. 

When the Dove goodies arrives, I instantly read over the information packet mailed with it. It was similar to what I have posted above. Everything sounded wonderful and I was ready to use them that evening in the shower! I started off by trying the Dry Oil Moisture Body Wash. It instantly bubbled into a light foam that spread easily. I could tell it was gentle on the skin, but was still effective. I ended my shower by using the Dry Oil Beauty Bar. I have to say that was my favorite of the two! It creates a thick lather that's amazingly soft. It  truly feels like it locks in the moisture. After getting out, I was impressed to feel how soft my skin was. After pat drying, I could see the difference in the dryer spots of my body. I've used these products along with my usual after shower moisturizing routine for a couple weeks now and have loved the results! I'd highly recommend this Dove line to anyone looking for something to help with dry skin.

Pros:
Really does moisturize your skin!
You will feel and see the results quickly.
Smells great.
Fair price for the quality.
The size of the products are large.
Wonderful addition to my current after shower moisturizing routine.


Cons:
The scent is very strong. If you're sensitive to heavy smells, these products may not be for you. However, I adjusted to the smell over time and it does not seem as strong to me now.

Never Deal with a Clogged Drain Again Thanks to DrainWig!



My daughters and I all have very long hair. I love it, but there is nothing more disgusting than trying to pull out lumps of soggy hair from your drain.   Normally, our shower would start to back up every couple of months and I had to try to shove pliers down the  drain or buy expensive and harmful chemicals when that failed. Now, thanks to DrainWig, I never have to worry about clogged drains again!



The DrainWig is a unique hair catching device. Simply lower the chain into your tub. The chain has little whiskers that help catch the hair before it gets stuck in your drain. Every few months, you just need to yank out the chain, and you're done. You don't have to touch the hair or use any chemicals. Just toss it in the trash and add a new one. Each DrainWig can last for up to four months.   I tried out the Drainwig and it really does work. Even after just a week, I pulled it out to take a peek, and there was already tons of hair wrapped around it.



DrainWigs come in a variety of cute designs including flowers and anchors. You can either lay them down in your drain or use the suction cup to attach them to the tub wall. To anyone who doesn't know better, they will look like a decoration, but you'll know and appreciate the benefits every time you replace it.



If you're interested in trying the DrainWig for yourself, you can order them online. Right now, if you buy 2, you get 2 free. So you get four DrainWigs for only $19.95!  That's a whole year supply! You can't ask for a better investment! With DrainWig, you'll never have to deal with hair or nasty chemicals in your tub or shower every again.
