Dove Hair Moisturizer

So Dove sent me a few hair care sam­ples (sham­poo, con­di­tioner, gel, and hair mois­tur­izer) the other day. I’ve never heard of a hair mois­tur­izer so I thought I’d give it a shot. So I read the instruc­tions to make sure it was some­thing you leave in and wasn’t a wash-out prod­uct (like sham­poo), and then took a shower so my hair would be damp (as instructed), and pro­ceeded to apply the goop to my hair.

First impres­sion: Gross! It felt ter­ri­bly nasty rub­bing that stuff into my hair. It is a fairly thick sub­stance (con­sid­er­ing it is mois­tur­izer), and was very very dif­fi­cult to spread evenly through­out my hair. When I was done apply­ing it I was left with mat­ted, gross/greasy hair. Very uncomfortable.

But I fig­ured maybe it takes a bit for it to “work in” or some­thing. So I left it on overnight. Nope. No improve­ment. Had to sham­poo my hair twice just to get the gunk out.

Moral of the story: Don’t mois­tur­ize your hair. It’s hair. It isn’t even alive. Just clean it every now and then and you’ll be fine.

On a dif­fer­ent topic alto­gether, I came across the Star Wars Hol­i­day Spe­cial ear­lier today. What a hor­ri­ble video! Even worse than Episode I if you can believe it. It has a bunch of these hor­ri­bly long bor­ing scenes, like Chew­bacca Jr. watch­ing TV, or Mrs. Chew­bacca cook­ing din­ner. Soooo bor­ing. Not rec­om­mended viewing.
