I have colored hair and have been coloring my hair every 2-3 months for more than 5 years now.I take care of my hair very well as it can easily become dry if I don't.But if you put too much moisture on your hair,it can also weigh it down and results in having a flat hair which is a big no-no to me.
I like having a great blowout and I can actually do it well at home(been practicing since I was a teen!).I love having great volume as it makes my hair looks lush.But it's also hard to get volume or maintain it especially with the humidity.
That's why I'm so glad that I was given Dove's latest product named Volume & Nourishment which aptly promises to volumize your hair and keeping it nourished,without weighing it down.
Dove are able to do this with their new Dove Volume & Nourishment hair range via a breakthrough from Oxyfusion Technology that contains oxygen-fused ingredient. The
formula instantly dissolves into the hair, giving deep down moisture while
adding up to 95% of volume without weighing it down.
1.Shampoo
Dove Volume & Nourishment Shampoo with Oxyfusion Technology contains oxygen-infused ingredients that
offer a weightless formula to restore smoothness while adding up to 95% more
volume* for hair that’s full of bounce.
This every day shampoo breathes life into dry, limp hair while gently
cleansing and nourishing with every wash.
Directions: Apply to wet hair, gently massage into hair and scalp and rinse.
I love the smell of the shampoo.It's hard to describe what it smells like but it's just very refreshing.It makes your hair smells so good.Plus,I love how it didn't make my hair feels squeaky and rough.Usually that happens with most shampoos until I use a conditioner over it.I can feel that it doesn't strip moisture from my hair and it also cleans it well.I just love it!
I have a sensitive scalp and the shampoo didn't make my scalp itchy or cause any flaking.So it's definitely got an A+ in my book.
Dove Volume & Nourishment Conditioner has been designed to complement Dove Volume & Nourishment Shampoo. This
Conditioner nourishes hair and restores its softness and smoothness without
weighing it down, breathing volume into dry, flat hair.
Directions: Apply through wet hair, focus on mid length to ends and rinse
Some conditioner,when applied to your hair,it will weigh it down and also doesn't give enough moisture.This wasn't the case with Dove Volume&Nourishment.It made my hair feels soft and silky.I love it!The fact that it made my hair smells good is a big plus as well.
I have to mention as well that this conditioner also didn't cause any flaking on my scalp..this has happened to me before with some conditioners.
It's enough to say that I really feel that you girls out there should go out and buy both the shampoo and conditioner from Dove Volume&Nourishment line.
Pictured below is before and after I used the product.

I'm someone who loves teas and would buy them online from US just because of my love for it.Part of my hantaran for my wedding was even a set of a really expensive brand of loose teas.haha That's how much I love them.But it's hard to find a local tea purveyor/brand that sells great quality teas at an affordable price..until I came upon Roleaf!
I looked at their selection of teas and I was amazed.They were so kind to give me teas for me to review and I can say honestly that I love them all!I will definitely repurchase from them once I run out of teas.
From one tea lover to another,if you want to get good quality teas at an affordable price,do give their website a look and browse the many many teas that they have.
I will review all of the teas that Roleaf has given me.All of the opinions here are entirely my own..and I tried all of the teas!
I tried all of the teas without sugar except the Earl Grey & Peach White Tea because that's how I take it.
*The description in italic is from Roleaf's website.*
1)Elegant Earl Grey
 |
| Picture from Roleaf |
Earl Grey is a tea blend with a distinctive citrus flavour and aroma derived from the addition of oil extracted from the rind of the bergamot orange, a fragrant citrus fruit. The smoky and fragrant taste of Earl Grey is a unique experience that many people cannot get enough of. Apparently Captain Picard of Star Trek fame will not drink anything else!
I love earl grey tea.It's my favourite tea for breakfast or tea time.It's just a great strong cup of tea with such a delicious fragrance.Next to green tea,early grey is also use in many dessert recipes.I've tasted earl grey cake and cookie..they were delicious!
I usually have it with some sugar.I'm not used to adding milk to my tea but I'm sure that it'll taste even nicer.
2)Calming Chamomile

Chamomile is a herb renowned in folk and traditional medicine for its health, cosmetic and nutritional benefits. A soothing blend for relaxation that takes away anxious, stressed or depressed feelings.
Chamomile tea to me is something that I'll drink at night to relax and calm me down.Basically it's like drinking lavender tea..it prepares me for a goodnight sleep.
3)Just Jasmine
 |

Jasmine tea is a type of scented tea. To make scented ceylon tea, ceylon tea leaves are mixed with flowers until their perfume has been absorbed. The tea is then baked gently in an oven. Jasmine teas have a naturally calming and relaxing effect on mind and body.
Jasmine tea is a type of green tea and this is something that I'll drink throughout the day.I love the scent of jasmine and when you brew this tea,you'll definitely smell the unmistakable scent.
4)Osmanthus
 |

Also called tea olive, fragrant olive or sweet olive, osmanthus has a long history of ornamental and medicinal uses. Osmanthus played a role in traditional Chinese wedding ceremonies as a symbol of love and romance.
A poet named Song Xhi Wen from the Tang Dynasty quoted "sweet-scented osmanthus seeds fell on the Moon as its fragrance in the sky was wafted through the clouds".
This was my first time trying out an Osmanthus tea.It is bright yellow in colour.After reading the description above I was like..wow I never thought that there's an amazing story behind the tea.I would say that this tea has a calming effect as well.
5)Rooibos The Robust
 |

Rooibos, which translates into Red Bush, is a popular herbal beverage from South Africa. Rich in health properties, and naturally caffeine-free, Rooibos is a great replacement to black tea. Can be enjoyed with a slice of lemon, milk and honey.
I've tasted rooibos tea before and I like it.I like this one too!When you take a sip,it just feels really healthy somehow.I know teas (unsweetened) are healthy,but this one just seems to give me..strength?haha It's hard to describe so you should try it yourself.
6)Hibiscus Hana
 |
| Picture from Roleaf |
This bright shining ruby is bold and sweet. It's called 'roselle' in Australia, 'sorrel' in Jamaica and Barbados, 'karkadé' in Egypt and Italy and 'Chai Torsh' in Iran. The pure effervescence of hibiscus tisanes has certainly earned its global appeal.
I heard that this tea is great to consume when one is having PMS.I haven't had it during that time of the month yet though.This tea when you brew it,it will become bright red in color.It tastes a little bit sour.But it's really good!
7)Pretty Peach White Tea
 |
| Picture from Roleaf |
A fruity, softly sweet and fragrant peach tea with delicate floral undertones which can be enjoyed hot or chilled.
Peach tea is a favourite of mine.This tea is fruity and delicious.You can turn it into iced tea and it'll taste just as good and refreshing.
8)Soothing Sencha
 |
| Picture from Roleaf |
Sencha is fine Japanese green tea from the Shizuoka perfecture of Japan. Refreshing and smooth with slight roast flavors. High in antioxidant and Vitamin C.
Green tea is something that I love to drink.And I always drink it without sugar.This one makes a really good cup of green tea.It's not too strong and is just nice.
9)Chava Chai
 |
| Picture from Roleaf |
A traditional Indian blend, best served with milk and sugar. The blend contains Black Tea, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, pepper and cloves.
This was the tea that I was most apprehensive to try because I've tried chai latte before and didn't like it.I was scared that it'll taste like I was drinking curry flavoured tea.hahaha I was sooo wrong!The spice taste wasn't strong and it was actually a very pleasant cup of tea.I bet it taste even better with some milk and sugar as I had it without both.
I would definitely repurchase some of the teas that was given to me..like the sencha and earl grey.I'm also planning to buy their matcha powder soon.Can't wait to try more teas from Roleaf!
