Dove Intense Repair Overnight Treatment Review

Heyyy Girls!!!
No time for oiling your hair? Or do not like the idea of adding even more grease on your oily/combination scalp? Give a shot to the new overnight treatments floating in the market! I have tried two of these and found some good results. Read on to find which one I'm talking about today....



Dove says :
"Night time provides the perfect opportunity to intensely revive your hair from within while you sleep. 

- Contains Fibre Actives to deeply penetrates damaged hair throughout the night, and actively replenishes proteins and restores strength.*

- Features a Micro Moisture Serum to nourish and seal each hair strand from root to tip."


Price : INR 250

Quantity : 120 ml.

Available at : All general stores, departmental stores across the country



I bought this overnight treatment only to replace my night time oiling ritual. I strongly believe that oiling more than once a week does more harm than good. At least on chemically treated hair (who doesn't have chemicals in their scalp these days?). When undergoing hair dye, straightening, perming and other such technical processes, sometimes you might have to face unexpected hair fall, split ends, dandruff and other such problems. I know of someone who after straightening their hair found that their dry to normal scalp had suddenly turned oily and even greasy making it impossible for them not to wash their hair everyday. Oil massage or 'champis' do not help people with such issues. You need to treat and care for your chemically treated hair with salon exclusive products.


Dove Intense Repair Overnight Treatment comes in a plastic bottle with a pump dispenser. It's easy to travel with and smells like most other products in the Intense Repair line. The overnight treatment is a gel cream which is not greasy or oily once applied on your hair and hence makes it a great option over the conventional hair oil.

Application : 
I use this treatment cream on wet hair for even application and comb through to facilitate even distribution. You must leave this cream on your hair overnight. Next morning you can either wash and condition hair as usual or even just step out with a water rinse.

Pro's of Dove Intense Repair Overnight Treatment : 
  • Inexpensive
  • Non-greasy texture
  • Smells nice
  • More conditioning than oil
  • Contains Keratin and Wheat Protein
  • After wash, hair is soft and manageable
Con's of Dove Intense Repair Overnight Treatment :
  • On dry hair or damp fine hair, it is not entirely non-greasy
  • Does not 'repair' hair overnight
To Splurge or Not to Splurge :
It's not miraculous on your damaged locks but if you are totally into overnight treatments and dislike oiling your hair, you could try this one.

Final Verdict :
Dove Intense Repair Overnight Treatment gets a 2.5/5 from me!

    1. Hey Revtee,
      Yes, you could use it sparingly on dry hair and comb it through your hair for even application. If not in the night, use this treatment after an only-water rinse on the days you do not shampoo your hair. It would work equally well.
