There is an ad for Dove shampoo and conditioner that
promises much less split ends. Does this stuff really work?
They say something about it conditions from the inside out.
I saw this ad tonight. I'm a bit curious about their claims as well. And if they did formal testing, was it short term or long term?
Isn't there some kind of customer advice/comments phone number printed on the back of the bottle? Why don't you try phoning them directly and ask about their statistical example?
Cuz I don't have a bottle.
You may need to purchase one then:)
That's if you really want to find out the truth!

In the same way a microwave cooks food from the inside out? I never did like microwaved food...
In all honesty its probably a sale gimmick to get you to buy it (is it working?!). Similar with pantene pro-v showing a woman with the best looking hair ive ever seen, and claiming it was from using pantene. And as everyone knows pantene are the worst shamp/cond makers! - mayjor buildup!
I'd recommend a salon cond compared to a drugstore brand as salon brands are superior by far. However if you are on a budget then I guess you should try it, but you'll probably need to use a clarifying shampoo every couple weekes to remove the buildup that you get with all(?) drugstore brands. I believe aussie do a good drugstore range.
Also split ends as far as I know are caused by excesive hair damage. Whilst moisture from cond will make hair less brittle and less likely to split, protien treatments only can strengthen hair..... oh and I probably should also mention there is no cure for split ends when you have them....just have to cut em off : )
I think I've seen the advert and to be honest their claims are based around an unfair comparision.
Most Shampoo & Conditioner Adverts use a comparision against using Shampoo alone, whats more they use a statistically insignificant sample, (usually less than 100.) You need a sample of at least 500 or 1000 for any statistical significance.
They normally declare the poor quality of their comparision and sample in the small print on the commercial. Keep an eye out for them because its entertaining to see how bad their treatment of statistics is!
Sorted
the only way to see if it is true, is to try it out. i'm going out right now to see if my store has it.
majority of hair products are lies anyways, they dont really claim to do what it is they are suppose to do. i wouldnt jump on any assumptions and make a conclusion from that, because that is bad, m'kay.
