Aveda Blue Malva Shampoo

...its natural shine and vitality. Aveda products are always very gentle on your hair, scalp and skin and all have wonderful fresh plant based aromas. The Blue Malva shampoo is my absolute favourite as it is perfect for hair that has been pre-coloured (blonde in particular), or has a tendency to gray. It is also wonderful for those with jet-black hair as the shine and bounce this adds to your locks is second to none! It will remove that awful ‘brassiness’ ...
...in your usual shops, as Aveda are a salon product and not widely available. I’m lucky in that one of my local salons stock it, and I can purchase it a litre at a time for £20.00, which makes it incredibly good value as it lasts for months! It also comes with a useful pump dispenser, and one pump gives you just enough shampoo for a complete hair wash. You can also buy it in smaller sizes (250ml for £8.00) but again; tracking it down can be difficult! ...

Review of Aveda Blue Malva Shampoo

...wondering why my expensive new Aveda Blue Malva shampoo hadn't transformed my look. Anyway, once I had gotten past the delusion that any brand of shampoo was going to transform my raggedy locks from mess to goddess, I was able to re-evaluate Aveda Blue Malva. Fresh from the shower and still wrapped in my damp towel, here are my impressions: IT SHOULD BE CALLED PURPLE MALVA My favourite thing about this shampoo is the colour. A vibrant, almost luminous ...
...not overpowering and extremely pleasant. Aveda call it "Pure-Fume" aroma. I can't say I have noticed it changing the scent of my hair, but then how often do you get to smell your own hair, right? Once applied to wet hair, it lathers up well, but I have found I need a fair bit to build up a good soapy texture. I am the kind of person who likes to feel like my head is covered in lathery goo- quantity somehow equating with cleanliness, I suppose. The ...

Review of Aveda Blue Malva Shampoo

Aveda is a range which uses natural ingredients in both it’s skincare and haircare products. They work on the principles of Aromacology which is "The art and science of pure flower and plant essences." Within the range there are many shampoos and one of my favourites at the moment is Blue Malva. This is made with extracts of Blue Malva, Aloe, Coconut, Almond and Cherry bark and is primarily used for grey and blonde hair. For those with grey ...
...with other shampoos in the Aveda range. Upon opening the bottle, a gorgeous cherry-like fragrance reaches your nose and the shampoo itself is a somewhat scary, dark blue/purple colour. To be honest, at first glance I would have been wary of putting it on my hair if it was either grey or blonde for fear of ending up with a blue rinse! However, it does not dye the hair in any way, lathers up pretty well and when you rinse it out, it leaves your tresses ...

Review of Aveda Blue Malva Shampoo

...is still probably the best. Aveda makes a whole range of shampoo to highlight various colours, and all are absolutely excellent quality. The really lovely thing about them is that they all use natural ingredients, and unlike some of the newer formulations, there's absolutely no chance of colour build up or hair damage. The Blue Malva neutralises yellow or brassy tones in blonde or grey hair - and it works. Like most of Aveda's stuff the smell is ...

Review of Aveda Blue Malva Shampoo

I am an Aveda Fan have tried and use most of the range. I have "dirty Blonde" hair which I often have colour treated so I change from Blue Malva to others in the range reguarly. I usually switch between Blue Malva/ Chamomile/ and Shampure depending on my hair colour and condition. I also use Hair Detoxifier two or three times a week before washing with my chosen shampoo. I also have a very sensitive scalp and have to be careful about what I use ...
...natural plant ingredients and extracts. They do not contain mineral oils (derived from petro chemicals) found in most shampoos. None of the products contain polymers either, which are also in many cosmetic shampoos ( these coat your hair in "plastic" to make it feel smoother and softer) I have found many regular shampoos let alone colour enhancing ones, can cause itchyness and also have a build up effect. This one gives me clean soft hair and enhances ...

Review of Aveda Blue Malva Shampoo

Aveda's blue malva shampoo is just great for those of us who dye our hair blonde. With pure plant oils , herbs and essentials oils it's natural too, though the smell can be an aquired smell, a little strong. It's best used with the colour conditioner as well to really boost the blondeness, though chemically dyed hair has to be careful as it can leave a faint blue tone to your hair if you leave it on too long, but it's a great shampoo , really makes ...
...oils leaving it feeling soft. Another good part of it ,if you bleach your hair alot you can tend to get a sticky patch on the crown but using this shampoo gets rid of it. It's available widely from QVC and also a particular hair salon which sells on the internet worldwide, a little pricy but worth it. ...

Review of Aveda Blue Malva Shampoo

...one of a series of Aveda shampoos designed to subtley enhance the colour of various shades and tones of hair. Blue Malva aims to add silvery brightness to blond and grey hair, neutralising any brassiness or yellow shades, to make hair appear brighter and shinier. It works equally well on dyed hair, and can help refresh all ashy and pearl tones between using a permanent or semi permanent colour. Like all Aveda shampoos, you need to use very little ...
