Free as a Dove

Went for the Dove Intense Repair relaunch recently. Dove I’m all lovey dovey about you geddit geddit. Ahaha.

Dove is one of my favorite hair care brands! I wrote a post about them before years ago HERE.

So I scored an invite to their Intense Repair relaunch!

Super pretty deco!

Everything was so classy and elegant I kinda wished I’d worn a dress or a skirt or something. But don’t say hor actually my outfit was Dove colors – blue and white *smug smile

All the other guests starting to trickle in.

My biggest regret – not styling my hair before coming. It is a hair event okay I am so ashamed T_____T At the last minute Fighter wanted to nurse so I had to feed him. And then I had to pump. Then it was time to leave for the event haiyooo.

At least I washed it hahahaha.

My outfit pass for Dove or not? WHITE Foruchizu tshirt (from Isetan X Foruchizu) and BLUE denim studded shorts.

With Daphne whose hair is sooo nice despite the drastic bleaching and coloring. Again it was a hair event so I was on my toes very convinced that people will judge me for the damage I’ve put my hair through hahaha T____T

Part of the event was getting us to pose and have our photos taken. Then the Dove team would compile everything into a personalized calendar for us. The only thing better than personalized gifts… is gifts with my face on it. #selflove

Christmas themed props! I’m so fashionable I wear the candy cane like a handbag.

A bit awkward so me and Joyce decided to take pictures together.

Hahaha dunno what we were doing. Oh ya I was combing my hair with the big comb and Joyce was giving me the hairdryer treatment. Lol.

Then we received our photos and got to customize the calendar with our own touches – stickers and stencils and colored pens. I mad enthusiastic until I decorated every single page of my calendar hahaha.

Then it was time to learn more about our hair! The presenter brought us through all sortsa hair facts – what’s hair really made of etc.

And then got pop quiz! He asked “How many hairs does the average person have on their head?”

GUESS WHO WON THANK YOU NO APPLAUSE PLEASE.

Hehehe won a bottle of Intense Repair Overnight Treatment. Great timing cos my old bottle finished. ^^

The answer is 100,000 btw. Everyone looked very surprised that I answered the exact number and asked how I knew. What can I say, all my talents for remembering bits of trivia is now coming in handy hahaha.

There was also a team competition where we had like 0.2 seconds (ok exaggerating) to memorize this in the correct sequence and then rebuild it from memory.

AND WE WON WAHAHAHA. It was me, Joyce and Daphne so I guess we were Team Blogger? Maybe writing blogs makes you smarter.

We also discussed the causes of hair damage… *gulp* I do every single thing they mentioned to my hair. Except perming only.

But what to do… takkan we don’t go out in the sun? Or blow dry hair? Or style it or even comb it ever? No matter what you do, I think your hair WILL sustain some sort of damage. I don’t mean that we should purposely go ruin our hair, but the best thing to do right now is to repair the damage.

I am a Dove Girl! The Intense Repair range has actually been around for some time, but this is a new improved formula.

Most hair conditioners coat hair with an outer lubricant so the hair will be easily manageable and combed. The new Dove formula, patented Keratin Repair Actives, not only does that but the keratin also goes deep to the cellular level repairing hair at the core to bring back hair strength up to 10 times. And tadah soft silky hair. 🙂

The Dove team showed us an experiment – they washed one lock of human hair in Brand X shampoo, and then another lock with Dove Intense Repair.

Then they placed the hair onto a horizontally positioned brush, and put weights on the locks of hair to weigh them down to see which one would slip off the brush faster.
