I have tried A LOT of products and have been on the never-ending quest of finding that's right for me. Yes, Pantene makes my hair smooth, but a little too flat and limp. Herbal Essence has a great smell.... but I honestly have to say Dove is truly amazing. Out of all the shampoos I have smelled, Dove has one of the best smells. It's not as flowery as Herbal Essence. It has this clean, fresh, very seductive smell. Even my bf notices!! The commercials are true... Dove makes your hair noticeably SOFTER and your hair doesn't get weighed down... and even better... it smells AMAZING!! I highly recommend it.
