I want to like Aveda's Rosemary & Mint shampoo! 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 using it so would alternate shampoos to avoid it.
I still have the shampoo but remain not convinced. I support Aveda 100% - perhaps it takes a lot more than all natural to tame my mane. I would like to continue with them but have resorted back to my usual chemical feast of a shampoo. Sorry Mother Earth.
