While I have had great results with almost all the Aveda products I used I have tp say this one was a miss for me.

Ever since este lauder bought the Aveda label I have noticed the prices hiked up a little also can only be sold my aveda salons so I have since moved away from the brand generally.
my experience with the shampoo:
it is a clear shampoo with a light consistency and as it is quite concentrated you only need the smallest amount to get a lather going - although this does make you wonder what chemical's are put into the shampoo - does it really live up to its eco-friendly claims?? Anyhow as far the shampoo goes it produce a decent lather and the rosemary and mint give an odd hot and cool sensation at the scalp (rosemary stimulates the scalp and gives a warm sensation) and the peppermint is cooling however I must admit it did smell strange and not unlike a dressing I would use when cooking lamb!!!
After rinsing the shampoo out I noticed my hair had more knots than usual and instead of the follow on conditioner which is pretty poor too i must admit i had use a strong detangleing conditioner. It is reccomended for those with fine fly away hair but I really think it would cause more tangles in this kind of hair and would reccomened it for occasional use a clarifying cleanser.
Advantages: Smells great, works well Disadvantages: may not be for people who dont like the smell of rosemary
I started using Aveda's Rosemary and MintShampoo about 6 months ago and have not looked back since. I had known about Aveda for a few years but had never got round to using it after a bad experience trying their detox tea ( that is to say, it really worked but the taste really put me off their brand for a while ). Even from their few ads though, I managed to absorb the facts that Aveda is a truly committed "green" company who are devoted to natural ingredients and protecting the environment. A line from their website really got me going, "Would you moisturize with petroleum? Enjoy the sweet smell of methyl-octine-carbonate? Accentuate your eyes with a coat of tar? " After a think, you probably decide that you wouldn't. And yet that's often what goes into more mainstream products. So you see my kick start into buying their products ...
Advantages: Good for the environment, all natural ingredients Disadvantages: Limp, heavy hair
I want to like Aveda's Rosemary & Mintshampoo! I do! Honest! From the moment I first saw their adverts in a magazine- a woman standing in the rain in some rainforest, I was reeled in by the wholesome clean and clear approach to things. I bought a bottle (didn't mind paying the extra cost- about £9 from the Aveda shop) and prepared to be wowed.
Sadly I wasn't. Yes, the shampoo smelled fantastic. Herby and minty and it felt light and gave a good lather. But upon drying it, my hair was limp and heavy and not soft. My hair didn't smell good- it didn't smell of much of anything. I wasn't impressed.
But I kept trying. Continued shampooing with it. Feeling like I was contributing to the earth and all natural things in it but looked like a straggly old dog every day as a result. What's more, I felt there was a build up in my hair after ...
protect your hair from the environment. This product is specifically for fine to normal hair.
Price
--------------
Now I have looked at the website and it costs on there $9.00 for 250ml, I?m not sure what that converts to but I have had a look around and you can buy it on www.hqhair.com for £8.00. I think this is very expensive for a shampoo especially as you can buy an Avon one for 99p! I know they may not be as good but what have Aveda put in theirs?. Little drops of gold?????
Usage
-----------
Aveda say to massage on to wet hair then rinse, and to follow with rosemarymint conditioner, well they would say that wouldn?t they!
My experience
----------------------
I love the smell and that is about the most positive thing I can say about it, the mint is so refreshing and reminds me of my grandpa?s garden where he used to grow ...
