Review: Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner (Fine, Flat Hair) with Dove Pure Care Dry Oil for Hair

Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner, Dove Pure Care Dry Oil (Sample Sizes)

The Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner is a new "hair series" in their haircare line. I received this as part of my Fall Walmart Beauty Box but this is available at any place that sells drugstore shampoos and conditioners. The samples I received says it targets "fine, flat hair" and I think it suits my hair condition. This haircare line promises "Moisture with 95% more volume" so let's see if that is true.

Swatch of Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo (For Fine, Flat Hair)

"For fine, flat hair. Oxygen Moisture Shampoo is made with Oxyfusion Technology, a new generation of moisture. With lightweight, oxygen-fused conditioning ingredients, the formula rapidly disperses on your hair. It gently cleanses & moisturizes, breathing life into fine, flat hair." -- Dove.us

The Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo is a sky blue tint clear gel with a light scent. I would say it's similar to "linen" or "baby" scented  things for candles or air fresheners. When I was working it into my hair, it didn't leave my hair in knots like some other brands of shampoos

Swatch of Dove Oxygen Moisture Conditioner (For Fine, Flat Hair)

"For fine, flat hair. Oxygen Moisture Conditioner is made with Oxyfusion Technology, a new generation of moisture. With lightweight, oxygen-fused conditioning ingredients, the formula rapidly disperses on your hair. It delicately smoothes hair without weighing it down." -- Dove.us

The Dove Oxygen Moisture Conditioner has a matching scent. This conditioner didn't leave my hands greasy when I was smoothing it through my hair and I felt no greasy residue on my neck after rinsing. I left it on for about 2 minutes so it could deeply moisturize my hair strands.

Swatch of Dove Pure Care Dry Oil (All Hair Types)

"For all hair types. Pure Care Dry Oil Nourishing Treatment with African Macadamia Oil is a lightweight, luxurious formula, infused with pure drops of natural oils. With unique Dry Oil technology, it absorbs deep into hair, leaving it sublimely silky, not greasy or weighed down." -- Dove.us

The Dove Pure Care Dry Oil is not too bad. The scent of this hair oil was a bit on the sweet side with slight nuttyness. I had to soak the tray in dish soap to get the hair oil completely out of the tray I used for the swatch because regular hand soap didn't work. 

This is my hair when wet and has shampoo mixed into it.

The best thing about the Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo is that it didn't foam up like crazy. It also didn't leave my hair dried out and like straw, which is the reason why I don't use Dove's main hair care lines. The conditioner was also pretty good and non-greasy leaving my hair feeling very soft after rinsing. 

...Here are the results...

My hair after using Dove Pure Care Dry Oil

***Note: My hair was washed the day before with Moist Diane Hair Shampoo and Conditioner, a haircare line in Japan. You can read my review for that haircare line here if you are interested. 

After using the shampoo and conditioner, I blow dried my hair without any styling products for the "after" photo. I applied the hair oil after taking the "after" photo. I only put hair oil on the left side of my hair to show if theres any differences without it. So what do you think? 

For me, the Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner exceeded my expectations. My hair had the right amount of volume and it looked much sleeker without as much frizzyness. Most of my flyaways laid down with the rest of the my hair strands from just using the shampoo and conditioner. My layered hair ends weren't going in all different directions like in the "before" photo. I also didn't have any hair static! When running my hands through the hair close to my scalp, there was no oiliness. 

Even after blow drying my hair, it still felt soft. This is great for Asian hair types. I highly recommend the Dove Oxygen Shampoo and Conditioner for people who have flat hair and want a little volume. 

Compared to Moist Diane Shampoo and Conditioner with Argan Oil, I think the Dove Oxygen Moisture series did make my hair feel lighter but it looked duller because its lacks argan oil. The results appeared almost the same and Dove is way cheaper than Moist Diane, which is about $13 a bottle online. Dove Oxygen Moisture is very budget friendly for the price of $4.99 per bottle.  

As for the Dove Pure Care Dry Oil with African Macadamia Oil, at the beginning I was put off by it. It was a bit greasy in my hair when I first put it on and I think it made my hair look too oily instead of shiny. However, an hour later my hair that looked lackluster before the oil application now looks fuller and shiny. The oily greasy look disappeared too. When touching the hair on the side with the oil, it felt much softer than the side without hair oil. 

If you can afford to add hair oil to your hair regimen, this one is not half bad. This retails for $11.99 for the full size 3.38 fl oz bottle. (My sample size tube was 0.4 fl oz.) I checked the website and they also have a Pure Care Dry Oil Shampoo and Conditioner, maybe that could be another option to consider.
