Dove Elixir- Rose and Almond Oil (Hair Fall Rescue) Review

 Yesterday we went to Jal-Mahal to witness a Diwali celebration by Rajasthan tourism- Deepotsav. The setting was perfect with the grand Jal-Mahal and Mansagar Lake in background. The whole venue was lighted with more than 4000 diyas. The cultural programs presented by folk artists were good but the Sarkari arrangements had many glitches. We did not stay till the fireworks but I liked the show. Sharing an image-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Now the review- Many of us do not like the idea of oiling our hair. Though I oil my hair once a week, I don’t like it much owing to my oily hair. I always keep looking for light hair oils. So it was obvious for me grab the precious hair oil by Dove which works in just 30 minutes. I got my first bottle in February this year, which still has some oil left.

My thoughts

The hair oil comes in a big glass bottle with pump dispenser. Bottle is too heavy to travel with. The oil is clear and you can see rose petals floating in it. The packaging looks nice.

Dove Elixir Rose and Almond hair oil has a pleasant fragrance but a strong one.

I usually oil my hair once a week. On other times I just wash my hair without oiling it. This product claims to reduce hair fall due to breakage, dramatically. And I’m glad to say that it works though not dramatically :D. It reduced my hair fall to some extent. But it became helpless in rainy season when I experience bad hair fall.

It is lightweight and I keep it on my hair overnight as I don’t get time in the morning for oiling my hair. It does not feel overly oily and is washed off easily.

This oil can also be used as a hair serum after wash, though I’ve never tried it that way.

The Positives-

·         Reduces hair fall a bit

·         Hygienic and easy to use packaging

·         Easily available

·         Cheap

·         Lightweight

The Negatives-

·         Strong smell

·         Does not reduce hair fall ‘dramatically’

·         Not travel friendly

·         Contains too much mineral oil and less natural ingredients

Summing it up- You can try this if you have some hair fall. I don’t think that I’ll buy it again as I get bored of using the same product for a long time.

Rating- 3.5/5
