Dove Hair Therapy & Progressive Partner on Hair Assurance - for Those Who Want to Style with Complete Confidence

The brands have teamed up to offer women a chance to receive protection against hair mishaps through Hair Assurance & encourage confident experimentation with styling.

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., April 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The fear of a #HairFail is real – even for the bravest of stylers. With total views of the #HairFail hashtag on TikTok alone nearing 1 billion, hair experimentation is evident, but the virality of that 'oh no' moment has women second guessing their tresses.

Dove Hair Therapy offers superior care for women who ask more of their hair. Inspired by the most potent skin care ingredients, Dove Hair Therapy formulations penetrate deep into weakened hair fibers to strengthen and nourish hair at a cellular level, so women can care for and protect their hair while they style it.

NEW Dove Hair Therapy Rescue & Protect system provides 10x stronger hair* against future breakage so women can style and experiment with confidence – and without the fear of damage.

To continue to encourage women to experiment with their hair confidently, Dove has teamed up with leading insurance provider Progressive on Hair Assurance, offering women the chance to win protection** from mishaps like a DIY bang trim gone wrong or an at-home boxed dye disaster.

"In addition to the incredible protection against daily styling damage offered through Dove Hair Therapy products, we are excited to be collaborating with Progressive to offer women the chance to win Hair Assurance. Through this partnership, we at Dove hope to empower women to ask more of their hair – without the fear of damage. As a leading insurance provider, a partnership with Progressive made sense because they value exceptional care and protection as much as we do at Dove," said Brian Critz, Senior Marketing Director, Hair Care, at Unilever.

With Hair Assurance, women can leave their hair styling fears behind and confidently rock even the boldest of styles, because Dove and Progressive have them covered.
