Hair Care Finishing > Aveda Hair Care Finishing

One of InStyle Best Beauty Buys 2006- is it truly?

Advantages: Light, non-greasy, Organic, does leave you with nice hair
Disadvantages: Expensive! Has a v. strong smell that might not be to everyone's taste.

...hair cut at the famous Aveda Institute in High Holborn. The experience was fantastic, reflecting the hefty price tag. Like all salons, hair stylist have the alterior motive of selling you their products. In Aveda, they didn't need to push for the hard sell, those who could afford the hair cut would ask for the products without checking the price tag. As the stylist was finishing my hair, he introduced me to 'Be Curly' one of the Instyle Best Beauty ...
...I am not a big Aveda fan. Their products always strike me as too expensive and not that nicely packaged. Despite this tube of beige sitting in my bathroom looking distinctly out of place with the sleek lines and cool packaging of the other stuff I've been conned into buying, I think this is a GREAT BUY, especially for the summer where the natural wave is back. So go and make this investment, you won't regret it. ...

Review of Aveda Pure Plant Shampoo Hair Detoxifier

Great!

Advantages: Absorbs oil, adds volume and gives the illusion of thickness
Disadvantages: Hair feels a bit sticky but so what if your hair looks lush

...Aveda's volumising tonic I knew Aveda is a quality company. I used it on dry straight hair after my hair went flat after a long a day (its small enough to fit inside a handbag), I just rubbed some in my palm and massaged it into my roots. I have found it works better when your head is tilted down and then flick it up again (like them hair shampoo adverts lol). So anyway, my hair suddenly looked volumised and it looked good, I was ready to party ...

The next day a sprayed brilliant damage control sparingly all over my hair, then I used my straighteners resulting in better hair but not good enough. My second attempt was much better. I used the damage remedy shampoo and conditioner, (i did the first time too) They made my hair feel really soft. After towel drying I only needed a pea size amount of hang straight ...

Review of Aveda Hang Straight

Pump up The Volume (Part II)

Advantages: Very soft yet volumised hair, aromatic smell
Disadvantages: Could easily tire of strong smell, EXTREMELY expensive

...(different scents etc.) AVEDA PURE ABUNDANCE VOLUMIZING CONDITIONER Naturally, being Aveda, the container is kept simple and functional. It's a clay conditioner so it's thicker in consistency than standard conditioners, and with this in mind Aveda have packaged it in a pale green flip top tube which stands easily on its lid, enabling you to squeeze out every last bit. And again, being Aveda, the product smells completely earthy and natural. I follow ...
...of the best things about Aveda products and difficult to ignore in a confined space. The scent is much like that of Clarins' Relax range, which is based on Geranium (a strong planty smell). I like it now and again, which is handy because I only use this combination about once a fortnight but I know I'd hate to use it more often than that because apart from being expensive I would easily tire of the scent. After a few seconds of smoothing it through ...
