Review: Dry Dove Shampoo

Today's post is going to be an extremely short review of the 'new' Dove dry shampoo. I write new in quotations because I am aware that it has been out for quite a while, however it's still fairly new in Dove's product line.

Overview of my hair type, I have curly hair that is oily at the roots and has rather dry ends. I usually wash it everyday because by the second day my scalp gets itchy and I can't stand how oily it makes my hair. 

Unfortunately I do not have a picture of my own bottle, since I threw it out. This was my first dry shampoo, I was shopping at a Shoppers Drug Mart and I wanted to spend over $75 to earn a certain number of points. As it was approaching finals soon, I decided to pick one up to try out!

I was so excited, it retailed for $6.50 when I bought it, however I got a $1 off coupon so I got it for $5.50. For the price, I thought it was worth it when I bought it, since I compared it with other brands before choosing this. 

I managed to try it out a month later, since I had put it in a drawer and forgot about it. My first use, it was good, it didn't leave a streak in my hair, no white cast, and my hair appeared less oily. I went back to use it 3 days later to find the can completely empty. The product had leaked out!! 

After being so angry that I spent $5.50 on a product that only gave me ONE spray, I emailed Dove Canada and complained. 

I really want to commend Dove Canada with their response, they were extremely kind, fast and prompt in replying to my email and interested in finding out what went wrong with my product. After giving them my address, code on the dry shampoo, and where I bought it, they emailed me back saying that they were sending me a complimentary coupon.

A few weeks later, I received a coupon for any free product (worth up to $7.49) and coupons off the brand 'simple' skincare products.

Sadly I have no intentions of buying 'simple' products, although I have a coupon. Also the free product coupon did cover my costs of buying the dry shampoo, so I am satisfied.

Overall, I'm disappointed in the product. Not sure if I will repurchase it, but I will try other dry shampoos. However I am satisfied with Dove Canada's response.
