Hey gsxxy, I used to use Aveda and love the smell of their products, but haven't bought the brand in probably 8 years because I dislike certain business practices they implemented back then (just my own personal boycott).

Yeah, i have only recently started looking at shampoo and conditioner ingredients... i just used to go for the ones that smelled nice lol. But my conditioner at the moment only has one cone that i can see and its number 11 so it cant be too bad ... i hope
I understand using that decision-making method -- it is tempting. However, sometimes I find that the nicest smelling products give me the worst results (ex: lots of cheap products), and the worst-looking/smelling products give the nicest results (ex: Aubrey organics).
If the highest ranking silicone is at number 11 on the list of ingredients, it could/should be alright. I wouldn't stop using it.
Well that solves it - they're two different formulations. but if by some lucky chance you are able to find the Moisture variety, I would still recommend buying a sample size and trying it out.

Heres what i found on the UK Dove website but they didnt have a moisturising one... they have completely turned over their range at the moment. Heres the ingredients for the revitalising shampoo:
Im trying to find the ingredients at the moment on the internet so i dont have to brave the weather... online doesnt seem to be helping much. i know what you mean about dove having so many types now... its impossible!!! So im trying to find it still without going out and looking strange writing down all the ingredients in my local shop.
I have been keeping my hair tucked into my coat and scarf during all this wind so that should help a bit i hope and tieing it up.
Tried doing some buns but they really don't go right... either im not doing them right (most likely) or my hairs to slippery; or perhaps both???
Anywho, i have rambled enough...

Excellent, thank you AnaisSatin for documenting the list of ingredients in both the conditioner and shampoo! So Callie, if you have the "Moisture" variety of the product, do let us know how its ingredient list compares with that compiled by AnaisSatin, k?
If you're getting more splits underneath than on top, I would suspect friction from clothes (shirts, sweaters, or coats).
Thats only the top at the back underneath its like split end central... however much i get it trimmed they just keep on coming. And i never use heat products or anything so i really dont understand where they are coming from.
My hair is extremely prone to splits, no matter what I do or don't do. (no heat styling or chemical processing for me either) But here are some things I noticed that were causing them to be worse: letting my hair flap in the wind, purse/bag shoulder straps, coarse clothing, wrapping a towel too tight after washing......
These are both for the "Moisture" variety, not the "Intense Moisture"... they have so many different varieties of Dove... I probably gave the wrong product name at some point.
Hi! Yeah im a newbie... just wanted to talk to people and get tips for my hair really seeing as im not that knowledgable on the subject really.

Hope you get a chance to pop in occasionally over the next few weeks, Anais. I know all too well what it's like to get too busy and then have my participation here suffer...

Um, are you kidding? Judging by the signature photo you've shared, your hair appears to be completely gorgeous!
Oh, and welcome! I don't believe I've seen you here before.
The answer to your question will require you (and a user of the product
here in the U.S.) to share the list of ingredients. My guess is that
they're the same but you never know for certain.
Hi, does anyone know if the dove conditioner in america is the same as in england.. you all seem to be having such great results with it! I'm jealous lol. my hair has gone horrible lately.. im trying everything lol! Thanks
I'm glad the Dove worked for you. It's worked wonderfully for me, in fact I've switched to COW-C in the past week using Dove shampoo mixed with Suave CS, then Dove conditioner as a final. My hair dries faster with the use of shampoo - longer hair = more awkward drying and a wet shirt back, so it's nice to cut the wait.
Things are going to get busy again in the next few weeks, but I'll try to pop in more often to catch up with everyone and watch the hair growth and discussion. I missed you all very much. This forum is so inspiring and is such a supportive atmosphere.
