My hair and skin is prone to being oily and I tend to stay away from anything that has the word "oil" in it. It was with trepidation that I initially tried the product, but I was more than pleasantly surprised. After using both shampoo and conditioner for 9 days, my hair is soft and silky and not at all the oily mess it normally would be after conditioning daily. What I have found, though, is that my skin is slightly more oily than before, but that it is easily managed by not conditioning every day. Do yourself a favour and try Dove Nourishing Oil Shampoo and Conditioner for a week - your hair will thank you for it.
