Aveda Calming Composition

Advantages: enhance colour and shine
Disadvantages: price

...If you have blonde hair and want to protect your natural colour that is of course if you are natural blonde then this shampoo is a must for you.Even if you are not natural then for those of you who want to retain the best out of dying hair blonde then this is great aswell.The natural plant extracts found in aveda shampoos work with the elements in your hair to help keep a vibrant colour, shine and overall good condition.Camomile is excellent on blonde hair to keep your hair light.That is not to say however that people with other hair colours are unable to use the shampoo as that is not so.

Being partial to Aveda anyway, I agreed to give it a go. It worked so well, I couldn’t make it up. My normally dark brown fuzzy (and now multi-coloured) hair became this luxuriant sheet of shiny waves. Even the small bits of blonde frizz that normally live around my temples after the Summer were darkened after the wash and actually looked like they did belong on my head. I had to look really carefully in the mirror to find the red streaks and I am sure when I found them I only imagined them.
