Return of the Long Braid: Dove made it possible


Dove gift hamper
The Dove Gift Package
Dove and Indiblogger have become wonderful partners over the year for us, the bloggers. This time they joined hands to give us the opportunity to revisit and cherish some of our childhood memories through Dove split end rescue shampoo and conditioner. The moment they arrived my wife leaped up with joy and excitement. The shampoo bottle is really cute in shape and in traditional white colour, so as the conditioner along with a booklet with important information about the shampoo. The products arrived in perfect order as always with Dove products up for review in Indiblogger. I would like to thank Dove and Indiblogger for such an initiative and making my wife more than cheerful (me too).
Child Days Braids
Having a long braid is no doubt a cherished dream for many girls if not all and my wife is no exception. She always enjoyed the motherly touch when her mother used to make it for her in the evening and then before going to school. There were two braids then, all the time swaying merrily. Their silken touch would make her joyous and she will treat them as proud possession. It never ever came into her mind that it will not last forever and will remain only as a childhood memory. She thought that she will be able to flaunt her braids always even when she grows up. But life has other ideas and her hair could not withstand the daily tales of harsh environment. Eventually it lost all its glory and making braid no longer remains a prize possession. 
Now what to do? The only significant solution seems to cut the hair short and that’s exactly what she did. She sacrificed her long hair and continues to have it short. That is how she accepted it. I think this is how most of them accepted life. There is no clear solution to this age-old problem.
Unwanted solution: Short Hair

This is how I thought things will be until I got this package from Dove. Dove split end rescue shampoo and conditioner promises to bring split end together, 4X lesser split ends and has fibre actives which act on the deepest level of hair. It changed the scenario completely. My wife tried it immediately and the change is quite evident. After one week, she started to believe that she can have that long braid again. Her passion for long braid that was kept buried for so long and never seemed to see daylight can be a reality again. She is praying every moment so that her hair can grow rapidly and she can revisit her childhood memories as quickly as possible. 

Dove really gives what they promise. Thank you Dove for making my wife’s dream a reality.
