The Beginning of Metamorphosis

The journey towards repair begins with acknowledging your authentic self. Upon entering the Dove Hair Care Labs, attendees rocked their natural, unstyled hair. A photo wall is also present for them to take pictures of their pre-wash hair, which will later be compared to their post-treatment hair.

Of course, betterment also calls for proper knowledge. Dove leads us to the Expert Platform and the Revelation Tunnel. Featuring a talk from the Dove experts, we learned more about the common causes of hair concerns and in-depth explanations about the different levels of damage. We then delved into the science behind Dove’s hair care products.

A Peek into the Future

Transformation requires having and using the appropriate product. With this in mind, we proceed to the heart of the Dove Hair Care Labs, where a grand display of products is showcased. Here, Dove unveils its newest hair care line, which will later take center stage in the attendees’ makeover journeys.

The hair is often exposed to the same aggressors that damage the skin. Hence, Dove took inspiration from skincare ingredients and the hair’s natural biology in formulating their newest collection. They specifically introduced their Bio-Protein line. This features a patented bio-protein care technology, a unique blend of fiber repair actives, vegan proteins, and nourishing ingredients.

The Gateway to Hair Repair

Addressing problems starts with identifying its roots and depth. With this, we move on to the truly unique part of the Dove Hair Care Labs – The Assessment Station. This section really shows the pinnacle of hair technology, as Dove brings unique tools to aid in your hair repair journey.

Upon entering, attendees were led to a row of salon vanities where a hair expert awaited. The consultation begins with the expert asking you about your current hair concerns. They’ll also probe you about your hair goals. Afterward, the hair expert will pull out an interesting gadget, a small scanner-like hair assessment tool. The expert then points it to a section of your hair, and it automatically takes a picture of the strand. From then, the assessment tool will display a side-by-side comparison of your hair strand and a healthy strand. This then allows the expert to accurately pinpoint damages to your hair cuticle.

With the assessment done, the hair expert will then proceed to explain the results of the assessment. Wrapping things up, they’ll recommend a variant of a shampoo and conditioner from the Dove Bio-Protein Care range.

Following the consultations, Dove now takes us to the ultimate salon experience. One of the highlights of Care Labs 2.0 is the Hair Washing Station. Here, people get first-hand experience of the wonders of Dove’s Bio-keratin line.

Upon entering, simply state the Dove shampoo and conditioner recommended at the Assessment Station. A salon expert will then proceed to give your hair some needed TLC. With a thorough hair washing session, followed by a conditioning treatment, you’ll immediately feel the reparative properties of Dove’s Bio-keratin line.
