Dove Hair Fall Rescue Shampoo & Conditioner – Review

There are many reasons for hair fall like dietary deficiencies, dandruff, stress, hormonal imbalance, genetics etc which is why I strongly believe it’s irrational to expect some miracle to happen with mere topical application of a product. You definitely need to dig deeper to track down the actual cause for the problem.

Hair Fall Rescue Shampoo
Dove Hair Fall Rescue Shampoo helps reduce hair fall due to breakage caused due to damage. It contains Nutrilock actives that locks in the nourishment, strengthen and protects hair against hair fall. It nourishes from the roots up and reduces hair fall , giving visibly fuller hair.
Directions

• After washing your hair thoroughly, take 2 to 3 drops of the hair fall rescue shampoo, equal to size of a coin, on your palm.
• Then apply the shampoo, gently massaging it all over your hair from the roots to the tips.
• Leave the shampoo on your hair for a couple of minutes and then rinse it off completely.

Hair Fall Rescue Conditioner
Dove Hair Fall Rescue Conditioner contains Nutrilock actives that locks in the nourishment, strengthen and protects hair against hair fall due to breakage. It nourishes from the roots up and reduces hair fall,  giving visibly fuller hair.
Directions

• Place a small amount of the hair fall rescue conditioner, equal to size of a coin, on your palm.
• Apply it on your hair by running your fingers through them starting from the roots and all the way down to the tips.
• Leave the conditioner on your hair for a minute then rinse it off well.

My thoughts
Given that this duo aims to look after hair fall due to breakage that could happen due to excessive sun exposure, by undue use of heat styling products or chemicals from hair dyes, I am only going to talk about whether it helps for that matter or not.

Starting off with the shampoo. To be honest, I can’t make out any difference between this and the regular Dove shampoos that I’ve tried. They have the same consistency, color and performance. This one too would suit you best if your scalp is dry. Mine being oily, I find it flattens my hair and make it oily looking the very next day which is off putting. The scent is what I like though; it’s the same characteristic Dove scent that stays for a long time. Other than that, I don’t think it locks in any moisture per se. This could work if you’ve got a dry scalp with normal hair.

Coming to the conditioner, I really like it. It feels creamy and coats my hair effortlessly. It does help ease up the knots and detangle my hair beautifully. I don’t put it on my scalp as the directions say. Instead, I spread it evenly working along the mid-shaft to the tips and keep it on for a minute or two before I rinse. I can say that it leaves my hair somewhat shiny, manageable and knot-free which may prevent hair breakage in the long run. Just like the shampoo, the scent is strong and lingers. I don’t think it can moisturize very dry/parched hair that well. However, following with Dove Hair Fall Rescue leave in serum might help. Both products are packaged well and contain plenty amount for the price.

Overall, I think the conditioner is actually nice while the shampoo didn’t work for me. But like I said, nothing can rescue hair fall if it roots from an internal imbalance.

You might like it if...

• The shampoo moisturizes dry scalp
• You have normal to slightly dry hair
• The conditioner helps detangle hair, make it more manageable
• The conditioner prevents hair breakage by reducing knots
• You're looking for budget-friendly shampoo/conditioner

You might not like it if...

• The scent seems strong for your liking
• The shampoo turns your scalp greasy
• You have very dry/parched hair and you expect great moisture

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush

My thoughts
I wash my hair after every one or two days depending upon the weather which is usually humid all year round. My scalp tends to get greasy on the third day and I absolutely hate that heavy feeling on my head. I wanted to see if it works for me between washes (that is on a second day) when my hair is slightly greasy and weighed down. So I got myself one in ‘Blush’ which has a wonderful sweet floral scent that I love. The scent isn’t overpowering but lingers for quite a while after application. I personally do not have an issue with that.

The directions on the can say to shake vigorously and spray lightly on the roots and hair while holding it approximately 30 cm away. After that, I run my fingers through my hair and gently massage the product. Finally, I brush it out. There’s indeed a noticeable difference. It soaks up oil and leaves my hair bouncy though I’ve got to admit, I do not get a clean, light-headed feeling that I was hoping for. Besides, it kind of takes the natural shine away turning my hair ‘matte’ if you know what I mean. I read somewhere that dry shampoos have a tendency to leave behind a white cast. Well, thankfully I didn't notice that on my hair. My hair looks fresh but if I touch my scalp, I wouldn’t say it feels squeaky clean because it’s still slightly greasy. Also, the result isn’t long lasting. I have to wash my hair the following day because I simply cannot stand greasiness. Perhaps that’s because I live in a place where the weather is unforgiving. But if you happen to live somewhere where the climate is cool and dry, the effect might last more than just a day.

In my opinion, it’s a life-saver for me especially when I need to go out but don't have to time to wash my hair. It’s just a quick fix; it certainly doesn’t replace regular shampooing. I am about to finish my first canister and will grab my second soon.

Note: Batiste has redesigned the packaging so do not confuse if you spot one with small flowers all over it.

You might like it if…

• You expect it to absorb oil from hair and make hair bouncy
• It does not leave behind a white residue
• You think it’s a quick fix for urgent situations when you really don't have time to wash hair
• The price seems affordable to you

You might not like it if…

• You expect it to make your scalp squeaky clean with no oil deposit
• You do not feel light-headed afterwards
• The effect doesn’t last long (especially if you live in a hot and humid place)
