Letās take a little detour today from "mind-power" subjects into something far more mundane and yet, magical: hair carešš§¼.Ā
The Spell in a Bottle
For what feels like ten years, although honestly, Iāve lost count, Iāve been loyal to one humble drugstore duo: the Dove Intense Repair Shampoo and Conditioner. Hereās the link if youāre curious:š Dove Intense Repair on Amazon

I didnāt plan to make this a long-term relationshipš¤£. I mean, I flirted with salon brands, tried those eco shampoos with herbs, even some "cruelty-free" things that left my hair feeling like a broom, sorry but this is super subjective and what I tried didn't work for me...... but I always came back to these products Dove Intense Repair and in the last 3+ years I am quite sure I didn't use anything else, didn't test anything else.
And here's the thing: I wash my hair almost every single day. I know, many beauty experts will tell you to avoid that. But Iāve found that my scalp, which leans toward the drier side feels it's best when I keep things fresh. Add to that the fact that I always use cool airĀ to blow-dry, never hot, and my hair ends up soft, moisturized, and genuinely shiny.
Now, this is where things get funny. My female coworkers, many of whom spend a small fortune on haircare, often stop me to ask, "Wait, what shampoo do you use?" They assume itās something salon-exclusive.
When I tell them itās Dove, they blink. "Really?" Yes, really. And whenever I recommended people to try it, the feedback is nearly always great (for example my mother-in-law since I recommended this to her doesn't even want to try anything else, she is in her 60's and she says that because of this shampoo her hair doesn't fall)
Let me get woo woo𤣠for a moment.
In magical traditions, our hair is often seen as a channel of power, memory, and energy. Healthy hair can become an extension of your presence, how you show up in a room.
For me, using a moisturizing shampoo that keeps my hair from breaking or getting dry ends is not just beauty care, itās energetic self-care.
What Others Are Saying (Because Iām Not the Only One Obsessed)
If you take a peek at the Amazon reviews youāll find hundreds of users happy with these products:
āāāāā
"My hair has never felt healthier. Iāve tried everything, from high-end to natural, and this still wins."
"I color my hair regularly and this keeps it shiny and soft."
"Itās affordable and works better than most pricey products. My split ends have practically vanished."
Is it 100% natural? No. Is it some exclusive salon-only blend? Also no. But does it work? Absolutely.
So, if youāve been hunting for a shampoo that just works, one that supports daily washing, protects from breakage, moisturizes without weighing you down, and adds that mysterious shine, try this one.
