Yes, this includes all conditioning, including deep conditioning or instant conditioning. I'm not sure about Smooth Infusion, I have only tried the DR line.

I don't mind if you build in your own exceptions, as long as you use and Aveda shampoo and Aveda conditioner/treatment at every wash. So if you use Suave, follow up with your Aveda shampoo!

imstush · Jul 12, 2007

hOnii · Jul 12, 2007

I'm confused too

I have a simple regimen, I just wash and condition, add leave in and some oil. If you have other steps in your regimen, such as pre-poo's, ACV rinse, etc etc, I am not sure how you do those or what is the purpose or if it interferes with the Aveda products. So you can use your own judgment, if you think you are still getting the max benefits of your Aveda products at every wash, I think it is ok.

The main reason I put "exceptions" in the rules is because I don't want anyone to spend a ridiculous amount of money on Aveda products trying to do this challenge. Also, if some one needs a treatment, I don't want them to delay or drop the challenge just because it is time for a hard protein. KWIM?? So keeping to purpose of the exceptions in mind, you are free to make your own decisions, but you should be washing and conditioning with Aveda at every wash.
