Dove Nourishing Oil Care

So I'm about to start my experience with Influenster, as I mentioned in my last post, where I will have the honor of testing products and writing my reviews of them on this blog.  As a "warm up," I requested a sample from Dove's facebook for a product.  I've always been a fan of Dove, so I figured anything they sent would be fun to try :)

A few days ago, I received a sample of Dove Nourishing Oil care.  Figures.  The girl with naturally oily hair gets Oil care cream.  Oh, it's not as bad as it used to be..I used to not be able to skip washing my hair on a daily basis because it was so bad, but I can now safely skip the hair washing every other day--which is much healthier!  Kiah's napping so I thought..at least if it looks like a grease pit, I have time to shower again before she wakes up.

This product promises to control up to 100% frizz for 24 hour shine.  It's made with weightless nutri-oils which smooths uplifted cuticle that cause frizz and deeply nourishes without feeling greasy so hair is easier to manage and style.  I read this and rolled my eyes. They don't know my hair, obviously.

It recommends a quarter sized portion, but I stuck with a dime size.  I added it to my hair and started making a face as I (probably mentally) felt my hair getting greasy.  But then, by the time I walked to the bathroom to check the mirror, it had dried, my hair smelled fantastic, and looked extremely shiny!  With my hair looking dreadful from today's horrid tornado-like weather, I figured there was no way it would style any different without being rewashed.  That's how my hair always is. A bad hair day stays a bad hair day until I rewash it.  But I grabbed my brush (which normally makes my hair static-y) and began doing my thing to get some "pouff" and "umph"...and it worked! Looks just as good as if I had reshowered, redried, and reshaped my hair with a round brush! 

I was pleasantly surprised by this product.  This realist who tends to lean a little towards negativity was proven wrong!  Good product and I would definitely recommend it :) Even to, especially to!, oily haired girls!!
