Title: i was wrong about Dove
Post by flaming_bunny on Apr 2^nd, 2004 at 3:56pm

ive been using Dove "dry/damaged" shampoo & conditioner for a little while now and i thought it was great as my hair was shiney and felt soft.
HOWEVER, today i did my fortnightly S&D and i found the BIGGEST split ends ive ever seen! i havnt been doing anything else differently (except oiling but i only started that the day before last) so its the shampoo! grrrrrrrrrrr......by the end of the s&d session i had soooo much hair in my lap that i felt like crying luckily it hasnt noticeably changed my hair thickness or length. the half full Dove bottles have been thrown away and now i'm going to crawl back to my Pantene Sheer Volume which never gave me such a split end problem....*oh pantene, i should never have doubted you*
if Dove works for you then great but i'd use with caution...especially if you have fine hair like me. deary me.....

Have you tried doing a vinegar rinse or clarifying shampoo periodically? I have not looked at the ingredients of Dove's shampoo and conditioner, but it could be that you are suffering from a buildup of product which is causing the splits.

hi, I don't know if this is really a good thing or not, but when I was in beauty school my instructor would mix a small box of baking soda with 2 gallons of water and fill 4oz bottles with the mixture and sell it to women to remove build up on their hair. It worked, but I don't know, it may be kind of harsh to do often. Baking soda is so abrasive.

I've heard of using baking soda as a clarifyier as well. I'd recommend conditioning afterwards to restore the hair.
