1 Clarify

The ultimate dull hair solution lies in nailing your daily routine. First thing to do is clarify hair with a gentle shampoo. Dove Scalp + Hair Therapy Clarifying Shampoo removes product build-up that dulls your shine without stripping your hair of its natural oils.

2 Hydrate

Your hair needs moisture to shine, so conditioner is your new best friend. Dove Scalp + Hair Therapy Hydrating Conditioner nourishes and detangles. Infused with a blend of vitamin B3, vitamin E, zinc and peptides, it will leave hair with a radiant glow.

PRO TIP: Use the right conditioner for your hair type. Too heavy and you might over-moisturize and dull your shine.

4 Take care

Heat styling, chemicals, and hot or cold weather can dim your shine. So protect your hair where possible using moisturizing masks, non-snag accessories, and regular trims.

5 Sweet dreams

Snuggle up to a silk pillowcase for frizz-free sleeping. Pop your humidifier on overnight to combat dryness in the air which causes your hair to go static and dull.
