Review: Dove Hair Fall Therapy Treatment Mask

Hey ladies! It's good to be back! =)

Okay, back to business. After whining on the lack of love for this hair mask, I chanced upon the Dove Hair Fall Therapy Treatment Mask.

I found it in a little Guardian near my place, and I believe this is a new range. I wasn't too keen to buy it initially. But that's because my eyes first fell on the HUGE 300ml tub, and I wasn't sure I needed another tub of hair mask that I would use once or twice and then let sit in my closet. 

Until my roaming eyes saw the little (and oh-so-very cute) 50ml tub. It's like a mini-me version of the big mama tub. Now THIS totally makes sense.



(The white tub isn't the big mama tub, but it's the same size. So cute isn't it? Mini-me!)

It claims that it "intensively repairs and restores hair for average reduction of hairfall from 100 to 2". Of course, the caveat is that this is from 98% reduction of hairfall due to breakage based on lab tests versus a non-conditioning shampoo.


I don't know about the 100 to 2 claim, but I will give it this much - my hair did seem to fall less.

Just so you know, I have an oily scalp and I do have some hairfall problem (especially at one period right after I highlighted my hair, which REALLY freaked me out). However, that problem is very much reduced now, heartiest thanks to Biotin. =P

Product wise, it's very thick and a 20sen dollop will easily do the job for my hair (which currently reaches until the err... middle of my back). I applied it to my hair after shampooing, focusing on the lower half. Left it in for about 5 minutes (sorry, I have no patience for treatments which require 20-minute waits), and then thoroughly rinsed it out.

I applied a wee bit of John Frieda to the ends too, and the end result was oh-so-soft, smooth and shiny hair. Lovely.

The product itself smells great, with the typical Dove scent. If you hate it, then this might not be for you. But I like it, and the fiance couldn't stop sticking his face into my hair. It was not funny.

I've seen the mama tub around at most Guardian and Watson's, going for around RM27 (me thinks), but I've only seen the mini-me version at very few outlets. For only about RM3, I think it's a real steal.

And don't be surprised though, the mini-me version is packed to the brim with all the Dove goodness that it should be able to last at least 10 treatments. More than enough trials for you to decide if you want to invest in the big mama.

Also, I love the fact I easily pack it along when I'm a-travelling.

I'm very sorry but I really couldn't find anything online regarding the ingredients. If anyone can shed some light, please do so in the comments section.

Overall, I am loving it so far. But I am still unsure as to whether I'll be getting the full-sized version, even though it's really in the affordable range. There's just this itch to always try out something different.

Then again, I could always get this one, AND still try out the others (like this one). *grin*

What say you?
