Do you remember the first time you colored your hair? My mother won’t let me live my first down. My sister and I secretly dyed my hair the blackest black we could find. It made me feel edgy and rebellious, and ushered in the teenage years that my mom says she (and I) barely made it through.
Even though my hair has lightened a few hues the past few decades, coloring my hair still provides rushes of excitement. That first peek in the mirror at the salon, walking in the front door to an impressed husband (love that mine always notices!), even going into work on Monday–you can’t beat the rejuvenation that a day at the salon can bring. Maybe it’s the time-out to care for myself, perhaps it’s the magical solitude under the dryer, or it might just be that I feel like myself again.
Now that I’m a mom, there isn’t quite as much time as I’d like to spend on my appearance. When I color my hair, I want it to last. I want to feel as pulled together as I did when I walked out the salon day after day. Dove is introducing their Color Care line of products with this in mind: keep the color vibrant, keep the feeling.
Dove Hair Color Care products are designed to lock in color longer. Their line offers shampoo and conditioner, safe and gentle enough to use daily. You can fight off dullness and keep your color yours for 8 weeks (approximately 40 washes). When you’re needing a little more nourishment for your locks, Dove also offers two deep-treatment options.
Whether you are coloring your hair for the first time or the millionth, Dove Hair Color Care therapy offers the nourishment your hair needs to stay vibrant from one glorious salon day to the next.

I love Dove products!
Melanie says
Me too! We call the Dove bar soap “the good soap” as in the soap that goes in the guest bathroom.
Robin Gagnon {Mom Foodie} says
I started using sulfate free shampoo awhile back. My color holds better now. Shampoo makes a big difference in the length of time your color looks rich.
Melanie says
It’s all about having the right tools…whether that be the right shampoo or the right power saw. What a difference!
Billie says
Dove has fantastic products. I did the same thing with black, lol.
Melanie says
My sister reminded me that it was the dye all over the shower our mom was most angry about. Can’t wait to see what my girls do as teenagers!
Donna says
I’m a big fan of Dove products, too!
Maryann says
I actually stopped coloring my hair and I’m letting my natural grey show! how Dove is that!?
Melanie says
Love it! I bet it’s beautiful!
Nichol says
I love using Dove after I get my hair colored. And Dove bodywash rocks. I am way past due for a hair appointment.
Melanie says
Me too! And for a optometrist appointment and oil change and…oh, the list us so long! Love that the Color Care products will help me in between.
Jenn says
Love their bodywash. Need to try their hair care too!
Colleen says
I usually color with a semi-permanent but recently I went to the salon and added subtle highlights.
Penelope (NYC Blogger) says
I colored my hair black as a teen too 🙂 It looked bluish black!
Jennifer The Quirky Momma says
I think the first color I tried at age 12 was black. Then I moved on to pink, red, blonde, various shades blonde, dark brown, hot pink (my favorite) and now it’s just auburn. I’m mostly gray at this point and probably won’t ever go all gray.
Melanie says
I wish I would have tried a wider variety as a teenager. Don’t think I could pull it off now.
HilLesha says
My mom is a big fan of Dove!

I grew up using Dove products and my love for this brand, along with the positivity they promote, hasn’t changed.
