Well this was yet another freebie from my Aveda lady (I’m getting quite good at hunting them down!) and I had forgotten I had it until we ran out of shampoo the other day. Why is it you only ever realise you have run out of shampoo when you are actually in the shower and soaking wet! Anyway I shouted to Paul to grab this out of the cabinet its only a baby one, 50ml but its got enough in it to last me til my Avon order arrives.
The product ---------------------- The Aveda rosemary shampoo comes in a light green plastic bottle and it has a brown lid which has one of those caps where you just push it down to open. Aveda say it’s a daily shampoo that will add body to fine hair without stripping it or creating a build up. It contains peppermint which is aimed at awakening your senses! The rosemary element is aimed at helping to 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 rosemary mintconditioner, 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 mint. I applied the product to wet hair as directed and massaged in, I kept massaging and massaging but no lather appeared, now I don’t know about you but I have to have lather to feel like the shampoo’s actually doing something. So I did an old hairdressers trick and added more water, this made no difference and I gave up and rinsed off. My hair felt ok but not refreshed and clean like you normally feel. I spoke to the Aveda lady afterwards who said that most people find they need to do two shampoos to get a good lather. If that’s the case then it would make the shampoo even more expensive as you would get through it twice as fast. I followed the shampoo with my normal Avon conditioner and dried my hair as normal. To be honest with you it appeared no different what’s so ever. Now maybe I’m not giving it a fair review as its not really aimed at my hair type and I hope to be proven wrong. If you ask me paying a premium doesn’t always pay off!
Other useful info --------------------------- The shampoo is available in 50ml, 250ml and 1000ml for you rich people! LOL! Its available to buy at all Aveda stockists for which you can find your nearest one at www.aveda.com
