The Review: The Oxygen Mositure collection, which is part of Dove's new Advanced Hair Series, is designed to to give hair hydration, body and volume. The collection is made up of a shampoo, conditioner, soufflé treatment and root lift spray and each product contains a unique Oxyfusion Technology that provides volume without the heaviness. Sounds good, right?

The Oxygen Moisture Shampoo and Oxygen Moisture Conditioner - both 250ml - are the perfect hair hydrators. The shampoo deeply cleanses the hair, without leaving any nasty residue, whilst the conditioner injects moisture into the hair without leaving a greasy finish. When I use both products together, my hair is left shiny, soft and oh-so-bouncy - which is perfect for my fine and flat locks.

The Soufflé Treatment (200ml) is, for me, the real hero of the collection. It is a lightweight hair mask that offers even more moisture and nourishment than the shampoo and conditioner. It feels absolutely amazing on the hair - like a creamy mousse - and only a small amount is needed to cover my long locks! Instructions recommend leaving this treatment on for 2-5 minutes to achieve the best results, however you can really get the most out of this mask by leaving it on overnight. It is the perfect hair pick-me-up for when your hair is in need of a little TLC.

The final product in the collection is the Root Lift Spray (150ml), a volumising spray that adds body and fullness to the hair - it is a blow dry's best friend! This root lifter's best feature is its misting nozzle, as it allows for a really even and buildable application. Unlike other root lift sprays, the Oxygen Moisture Root Lift Spray is incredibly lightweight and hydrating, helping to avoid that horrible heavy feeling you can sometimes get.

Overall I am pretty smitten with this collection. It smells amazing, gives my hair gorgeous shine and bounce and comes with an affordable price tag! What's not to love?

What do you think of the new Dove Advance Hair Series? Have you tried any of the other collections yet?

The Beauty Myth: Hair Gets 'Used' To Shampoo

Verdict: False

Some people argue that using a particular shampoo for too long will stop it 'working'. These people are crazy and you need to stop listening to their nonsense.

If you ever find that your favourite shampoo is no longer working as well as it used to, it will be because the condition of your hair has changed and now has different needs. A variety of things can alter your hair condition, including changes to your environment, health and lifestyle. For example, if you start colouring your hair, switching to a shampoo designed for colour treated hair will ensure your hair's vibrancy and shine stays intact.

If you're confused about what your hair needs, check out the Hair PROfiler from TRESemmé. It is a short and simple online questionnaire that lets you know what products would best match your hair's needs - check it out here!

Now if there is one shampoo I can depend on - no matter what my hair is going through - it would be the Aussie Mega Shampoo 300ml (£4.69 Boots) that is designed for everyday cleaning. This bad boy cleans my hair really well, while still leaving it bouncy, soft and beautifully shiny - not bad for £4.69!
