Aveda Clove Conditioner for brunettes

Advantages: An effective colourant, deep conditioning
Disadvantages: Expensive, weighs fine hair down, stains bath and hands

...I bought the clove conditioner and shampoo as a set from lookfantastic.com, as I'd had such a good experience with Shampure. Sadly, this conditioner didn't meet my expectations, which was a shame as I wanted to like it due to the natural ingredients used. It is a very thick conditioner, almost like a paste, so is difficult to spread throughout the hair. I think it was probably a little too rich for my fine hair as it weighed it down too much. Due to it's rich texture, I could only use it through the ends of my hair. It is a very effective colourant, more so than the shampoo alone, but this caused problems as after prolonged use the ends of my hair had picked up more colour than the top. It also stained my bath, my shower curtain, my hands and my manicure! I ended up having to use latex gloves with it which meant that I could...

Review of Aveda Clove Conditioner

Conditioner that keeps making me see red!

Advantages: Healthy colourful hair
Disadvantages: The price

...and scalp some good but I also like the way that their products use the power of plants and botanicals rather than relying on chemicals. And I also like the way that they try and source ingredients in the best way ecologically and in an ethical manner (for more details on how they source their ingredients and on how they help look after the environment see www.aveda.co.uk). So as I was paying for my hair cut and colouring I decided that I would add their Colour Conserve Shampoo and Conditioner to my bill. This particular review is for the Colour Conserve Conditioner. I have been dying my hair since I was 18 and in that time I have spent a fortune on a variety of colour safe products which have been recommended by my colour technician and hair dressers. One of the things that I have found is that not only have the shampoos made my hair so...

Review of Aveda Colour Conserve Conditioner

Quick fix colour from Aveda

Advantages: great to liven hair colour up
Disadvantages: none

...of a salon' feel and look, and the colour was excellant. Aveda do a whole range of different colour conditioners to suite every hair type, but for anyone with red hair (coloured or natural), brunettes with red tones or black hair that want extra shine then this really is the best conditioner. Its as gentle as any good conditioner should be, but with the added benefit of giving extra colour. One word of warning though, your hands do go slighlt red when you have applied it, so you need to really wash them after, and if you are leaving it on for longer than 5 mins then I'd wrap your hair in an old dark coloured towel. (it does wash out though, so it doesn't matter if the towel is white)....

Review of Aveda Madder Root Conditioner

Aveda - Top Class Cleanser

Advantages: Suits my skin very well. Lovely to use.
Disadvantages: Price!

...bouquet of thanks to the lovely Aveda consultant at House of Fraser in Birmingham. If only all beauty consultants were like her. She listened to what I wanted, she was relaxed and approachable, I felt comfortable talking to her and she was clearly knowledgable about the Aveda range, without being at all pushy. I had a free cup of Aveda's own brand of herbal tea while I was browsing and trying out all the different scents and potions. As a result of feeling so at home among the fascinating shelves of Aveda I did spend money and left happy. About Aveda A generous friend bought me a body mist from Aveda as a present a few months ago and I totally loved it. I blame her for the fact that I am now obsessed by all things Aveda. Why couldn't I become obsessed with something cheap? I should be a rich person! Why is no-one in...

Review of Aveda Purifying Gel Cleanser

I get slightly CREAMY for 24 pounds

Advantages: Smells great, decent sized bottle, handy pump dispenser
Disadvantages: Doesn't condition that well, expensive, need to pay 99p for dispenser, not suitable for dry hair

...Apology: I know you are all sick to the back teeth of reading shampoo ops and I apologise immensely for the boredom created by my last opinion….but, I couldn’t write an opinion about Aveda Shampure shampoo without following it up with the complementary conditioner opinion! Another reason for me writing this opinion is the fact that there have been only 2 other opinions written about the conditioner, and both of these were written over a year ago……so I felt it a duty to let you all know of my experience! Price ----- Another ouch! Same as the shampoo I’m afraid - £3 for a titchy bottle (50ml), £8.50 for ‘normal’ sized bottle (250ml) and £24 for 1 litre (massive sized). All prices quoted here are from Lookfantastic.com, although I have since been told that Aveda is cheaper from QVC...

Review of Aveda Shampure Conditioner

A wonderful intensive conditioner for all the family`s hair

Advantages: no petro chemicals. only use a tiny bit. nade from plant extracts.leaves hair feeling wonderful everytime
Disadvantages: limited availability. price

...this conditioner is part of the shampure range and is to be used along with the shampure shampoo. The smell is wonderful and clean. I have found that when I use this conditioner that my hair is in such good condition. No flyaway hairs and no spilt ends. It can be used by all types of hair. It leaves the hair feeling refreshed and like new with no problems with the first use. I bought this as it was easier to have one type of conditioner for all the family than have lots of different bottles. This conditioner was basically not made just for one type of hair. You only need a tiny bit for one use and it is better to leave it on for about 15 minutes to get the full benefit of it. I have never looked back since I tried it. I find that with it having no petro chemicals in it that my hair is in a far better condition than using all the other...

Review of Aveda Shampure Conditioner

A revitalising conditioner!

Advantages: Great scent, tangle free hair, only a small amount required, great price.
Disadvantages: None

...Original Source make products which contains 100% natural essential oils, no synthetic fragrances and they do not test their products on animals. This is part of the reason why I enjoy using their guilt free products, that and the gorgeous scents that they carry because of the sheer amount of natural oils and ingredients that are used in making Original Source products. This conditioner is stated as being for all hair types and I find this to be fairly accurate because I have greasy hair while my Mother suffers from slightly dry, flyaway hair and we have both used this on a couple of occasions with great results. This conditioner is supplied in a long bottle which thins towards the end and it is designed to stand on it's lid (which is a black flip top) and it is very easy to grip and open whilst in the shower. When the conditioner is...

Review of Original Source Tea Tree & Mint Conditioner

Aveda hand relief - my hands smell like cakes!!

Advantages: It does a great job of moisturising your hands, a little goes a long way
Disadvantages: Bit pricey!!

...Advantages: It does a great job of moisturising your hands, a little goes a long way A bit about me: Generally I am not really one for spending a lot of money on cosmetics or creams. Apart from the odd treat at Christmas or birthdays, I will do a lot of research and pick the product that does the best job for as little cash as possible. Pretty much the area of my beauty regime that I will spend the least on, is my hands which is daft because due to years of eczema, my hands look far far older than I am. I am 35, my hands, bless em, are 60! Eczema has left them dry and extremely sensitive so I need to take care with the products I use. My mum gave me one of her half full tubes of Aveda Hand relief cream insisting that it was fantastic and I should try it. The product: It promise to soothe dry, chapped hands leaving them...

Review of Aveda Hand Relief

Sunsilk Conditioner

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Sunsilk Deeply Brunetter conditioner can be bought in the section of shops that sell hair care and hygiene products. It is a great conditioner to keep your brunetter hair feeling soft and smelling great. It is priced around £1.50 a bottle which is a great price for a conditioner that works so well. To apply this conditioner you do so in the same way that you would any other conditioner, it is easy to rinse out of your hair, try and leave it in for a few minutes to enhance its effects. This conditioner can be used every day as it is not too harsh on your hair and it is reasonably priced. After drying my hair after using this conditioner I noticed that my hair smelt great and that it was in great condition, this conditioner doesnt leave your hair as nice as when you use a more expensive conditioner for example bed head but...

Review of Sunsilk Deeply Brunette Conditioner

sap moss conditioner

Advantages: Makes hair very soft
Disadvantages: could have a better smell

...I bought the sap moss detandling conditioner (to give it its full title) at the same time as the shampoo, I bought this from QVC. I bought the litreand the size that I bought cost me £44.00. I have seen smaller bottles online for prices ranging from about £9.00. I use aveda products because they are not tested on animals and are detergent free. Sap moss uses very good quality ingedients. This conditioner is a very light formula and will leave the driest hair soft and silky. Once the hair has been washed the conditioner should be left on for ten minutes and more should be applied to the ends of the hair. I find that after using this conditioner that I have less split ends. I have very dry and very coloured hair so I need something that will keep my hair from looking fuzzy. Most conditioners I have come across have lots...
