Months ago I bought a large bottle of Dove shampoo from Costco. I had commitment myself to finish that bottle before moving on by buying another bottle of shampoo. Then I started to heard or read about Brilliant Brunette shampoo. But I shied away from it because of the bottle of Dove that sat in my shower. The more I read the more I became curious of this shampoo that claimed to make your hair color better.

I have never once colored my hair and probably wont till I start going grey. I like my hair color though time to time I wish I leaned darker or lighter, usually depending on the season. Also, I really don’t want the high maintenance that highlights or roots would give me if I did color it. I’m always for improving my hair whether it’s making it healthier, softer, more volume or the color. Last week I was at Target and saw that Brilliant Brunette was on sale. My first thought was that I didn’t need it, even it was on sale because I have shampoo. But then the reviews I had read, all these great things about this shampoo flooded me and bought it anyways (sorry Dove).

I had already taken a shower that day, but I was really close to taking a second one (really not needed, it wasn’t a dirty day for me) just to wash my hair. I restrained myself to wait till the next day to lather up. Once I did, I realize less is more when it comes to this shampoo. With lots of bubbles and lots of volume for my hair to get clean on every single strain. I had high hopes for this shampoo as I dried my hair as I usually do. Once it dried, I really didn’t notice a difference which was disappointing. I returned to the great review I had read seeing if I had missed something. Really didn’t see anything I was doing wrong (its just shampoo right?). But I still paid for this shampoo, tossed Dove to the side for the sake of this experiment so I can’t get up on just one day. So day two, wash, rise and dry. Even tired different lighting, but saw nothing really noticeably different. Few more days of no real change, until today. Unwrapping my hair from my towel turban, parted it as normal and started to dry. The blow dryer reveals a new hair I didn’t know I had. I thought maybe I was feeding myself something to justify buying this shampoo. But then my mom noticed my hair looked different, it wasn’t styled different but just looked different, darker, “more brown”. My hair looks fantastic and its thanks to my new shampoo. What girl doesn’t love a good hair day?
