Dove Hair Treatment + Hair Myths

I received an unexpected email from Unilever few weeks ago. I was selected as one of the girl to share Dove's secret. It was an extra bonus for me and i got sponsored for the whole range of the hair loss products that was launched by Dove. 

Before i share the products i got, let me share the lists of myths about hair which i got from the Dove event.

#Myth 1 : Daily Washing can slow down hair growth

Fact: It is hard to imagine that shampooing was a monthly activity before the late 19th Century. Today, there is no scientific evidence that daily shampooing damages scalp or affects hair growth. In fact, daily use of an anti-hair fall hair care system helps condition hair to prevent hair loss for fuller looks

#Myth 2: Cutting Hair promotes hair growth

Fact: Your hair might look more voluminous after a hair-cut only because split ends are removed and hair is layered. For fuller hair, try Dove Hair Fall Rescue Leave-on Intensive Hair Tonic. It helps prevent the body's natural enzymes from breaking down the "follicle glue" which binds hair to the scalp.

#Myth 3: Hair Fall is caused by clogged pores

Fact: Clogged pores are actually a cause of ace, not baldness. If common baldness was simply due to clogged pores, then rigorous shampooing would be all that was needed to maintain a full head of hair, which is not the case.

#Myth 4: Hair fall is caused by decreased blood flow to the scalp

Fact: When your hair is growing, it does require a significant amount of blood flow. Once you lose your hair, not as much blood is needed and thus blood flow to the scalp decreases. Therefore, a decreased blood flow to the scalp is not the cause of hair loss, but a result of it.

#Myth 5: Wearing hats makes your hair fall

Fact: People who accuse their hats as being the cause of their hair fall think that wearing hats all the time prevent the scalp from breathing. Actually, hair follicles get oxygen from the blood stream rather than from the air.

#Myth 6: Hair fall does not affect young women

Fact: Although commonly mistaken to affect only postmenopausal women, hair fall and thinning can occur in teenagers due to hormonal changes, diet and stress. Strengthen hair from breakage with Dove Hair Fall Rescue System Daily Treatment Conditioner and Dove Hair Fall Rescue System Deep Repair Treatment Mask which deliver intensively nourishing benefits.

#Myth 7:Frequent shampooing causes hair to fall out

Fact: Hereditary baldness is not due to hair falling out, but rather by normal hair gradually being replaced by finer, thinner hairs. The simple solution is to shampoo everyday and the excess hair in the tub will go away.

#Myth 8: Hair fall stops when you get older

Fact: Once hair fall begins, it tends to progress over a person's lifetime and never completely stops. However, the rate at which hair will continue to fall out is hard to guess.The younger you are when you start to lose your hair, the more likely you are to become very bald.

#Myth 9: Cutting your hair will make it grew back thicker

Fact: Hair grows out in a point that is naturally more slender and fine than the root of the hair. As it grows, the hair is exposed to the elements, styling friction and other environmental factors that wear it and make it appear thinner than at the root. If you cut that hair off, the new end will grow out to the same thinned fate. The hair emerging from the scalp will be no thicker or fuller.

#Myth 10: Dropping hair is a sign of hair fall

Fact: It's considered normal if you're losing 100 to 150 strands a day. However, if you notice that you're losing more than 150 strands a day, you may have a hair fall problem.

#Myth 11: Stress and poor diet may lead to hair fall

Fact: While it's true that prolonged stress and an imbalanced diet may lead hair loss, this is usually a temporal symptom, and can be tackled by making adjustments to your lifestyle.

My personal experience with Dove product range was a pleasant one. I used to be lazybum to use hair conditioner. I started off using conditioner and i can see the immediate result. I can feel the softness of my hair and less frizzy as well. The Dove Hair Fall Rescue System Leave-on Intensive Hair Tonic is very useful for me. The package is very suitable for travel kit use. I shared my experience when i got it for free through sharing my hair loss story with Dove. You can read the experience here.

Besides using the products, i also need to put in effort to go for hair scalp treatment every month. It is actually quite pricey to go hair salon every month. Thus, the hair tonic comes handy because it shares the same function as the hair treatment i got from hair salon.Not to mention that the Dove fragrance lasts for 1 day plus. I start to have self-obsession to smell my hair all the time. This is based on my own experience through the 2 weeks time.

Dove Event : Share Your Secret By Nuffnang

Weekend has been fruitful as i have the opportunity to attend the Dove event organized by Nuffnang. It was held at Fullhouse located at Hotel Rendezvous. The saturday afternoon was filled with joy and we are pampered with love. I made new friends and met celebrity bloggers through the event. The event was very beautifully set up. I felt like i am attending a white wedding :) Our dress code for the event was white so you can see everyone is wearing white top and dresses to the event.

Photos of the Myth Hairs' information that I took from the table.

 It is quite informative.

The event started off with a sharing session by the product manager from Unilever about hair loss awareness. Followed by buffet session which is waiting for us. We also got to enjoy massage session and everyone of us was invited to interview about our Dove hair treatment experience.

Lovely cupcakes for the event

While waiting for our massage and interview session, we took photos and mingle with one another. It is actually quite awkward initially but everyone started to warm up and become more friendly. It's my 3rd time meeting Silver and this time round we able to chat a bit and understand her more. She is a pretty young lady.

Lots of polaroid photos taken on that day.

Some individual photos with the Silver, Peggy & Beatrice. 

They are all beautiful ladies with nice smile. 

The range of the products that were sponsored by Unilever. 

I been using it for 2 weeks and my hair is soften and fragrance the whole day. 

Thanks for the sponsor :)

There is also a section for us to DIY our mini comb. I had mine DIY as well. 

Simple ones with the Dove logo in pink :) I felt so girly on that afternoon.

Some of the photos taken on the event. All photos are taken using my iPhone and some photos from Beatrice. Photos with new friends and celebrity bloggers.

 It was a lovely event organized by Nuffnang. Thanks to the nuffies for their hardwork and making the whole affair so romantic and girly.

Took a picture of the products inside the goodie bag. I also brought back the beautiful roses bonquet which is given to everyone. It was very generous and everyone looks like 'bridemaid' in the event holding the roses. 

Ended my post with a photo of me during the event. 

Hope i have the chance to attend more of such events. 

Till then XOXO

Nut Say

It has been a long time since i had my Nut Say column. So here I am posting my experience of the Dove free kit sample for hair loss. There is a free leave-on intensive hair tonic starter kit worth SGD6 from the link at the right side ads of my blog. So i click into it and share my hair loss story here and got myself a free kit to try it.I received last week and started to try on the kit. 

No photos of me applying in on my hair.hehe! I applied it after my hair wash and the texture is watery and non-sticky type. It's very convenient to use and i used up a bottle a day. Can't see the result immediately as it takes time to feel and see the changes.

So got 2 bottles for me to try. it's as small as my palm of hand and i think it's perfect useful instead of buying big bottle and lazy to use them. 

Here's a pic of a dip drop of the hair tonic kit for your view. 

All photos taken using iPhone 4s. 

So the photos aren't that good quality due to the light. 

Anyway, just a sharing column of my point of view here :)
