Well, ok, this has me baffled. Using conditioners and after-wash hair masks are very confusing and I sincerely don’t understand which should come first? Ok, the simplest solution is to forgo conditioner and use only hair mask but then, if we go to the logic of the products – hair mask is nourishing but conditioner acts like a sealant, right? So, apparently, hair mask should be first followed by the conditioner. But, I have seen many products ask you to use the hair mask after the conditioner. Well, frankly, using other logic also, conditioner seals the cuticles and creates a layer over the hair so how will the mask nourish the hair if there is already a protective layer on the hair, right? So, is using hair mask before hair conditioner the norm? How do you use it?

Dove Nourishing Oil Care Repair Mask {Product Review}
Price: Rs 300 for 200ml
Ingredients
My Experience
The mask is creamy and light and spreads very easily in the hair. I have used it thrice yet and can easily say that it makes the hair super soft and keeps it conditioned. Though, I would also add that it is important to follow this up with the conditioner otherwise the hair does remain frizzy!! And, it is light enough that one can use it twice a week too because I didn’t feel that its effects last for a week. Ok, one more thing I would say that this tub would last me quite a while because you can see the finger traces and amount of the mask used up till now. For every wash, I use two scoops of the mask and spread it on towel-dried hair and keep it on till 5-7 minutes minimum.

sorry for the bad snap!! |
The serum is very clear and since my hair volume is less and my hair is fine, I need only a single or sometimes two pumps. If I take more, my hair would weigh down. The texture of the serum looks oily but it disappears into the hair as soon as you apply it. And, it detangles the hair very nicely and imparts a sheen to the hair. I don’t know if it does anything more than that but it does what it says above – leaves the hair softer and shinier and as to the nourishment factor, I don’t know. But, I don’t think if it helps to make the hair look more hydrated. As far as my experience goes, it creates a layer on the hair and locks in whatever is on your hair so it is good to apply hydrating serums before using this. But, this product doesn’t weigh down the hair or leave any residue behind. Its definitely a good product to use during any special occasion or the like.
