Here is part II of the Dove Heat Defense series. Part I featured my review on the Dove Heat Defense Protect & Shine Mist. This entry focuses on the Dove Heat Defense shampoo and conditioner. It claims to protect and strengthen the hair follicles from damage from frequent hair styling. I admit that I use blow dryer every day to style and fluff out my baby-fine hair. With this in mind, I needed hair care products that protect my tresses from heat abuse. I don't want to fry my hair to death, so these new products from Dove are totally welcome in my shower stall.

My Take: I love their scent. Very clean, fresh, non-cloying. I also like the light feeling on the scalp. I use a very small amount for my short hair (I know that using too much shampoo and conditioner can leave the hair heavy with residue product, and can cause dandruff and flakies). It bubbled adequately, and the after-feel is light and refreshing. To my mind, I also like the added feeling of protection since I would be blow-drying my hair soon after. I apply a light coating of conditioner after which smells as fresh and clean as the shampoo.

I spritz a small bit of Dove Heat Defense Protect & Shine Mist on my towel-dried hair and it the entire routine leaves my hair shiny and bouncy even after blowdrying my hair. I don't get fried or split ends.

All in all, I really like the Dove Heat Defense system. If you use heat-activated styling products like curling or straightening irons, blow dryers and the like, this would be a good system to try. The best part about this system is its affordability. Shampoo and conditioner retail at $4.99 each (12 oz) at Walgreens. Check these out at your local drugstores and supermarkets.
