Wow, where do I begin? I am soooo impressed with Aveda Damage Remedy and other products.
First the line up
* Aveda Damage Remedy Poo
* Aveda Damage Remedy Reconstruting Conditioner
* Aveda Phomollient Styling Foam (w. honey)
* Aveda Smooth Infusion Style Prep Smoother
* Aveda Brilliant UNiversal Styling Cream
Background
I last used Aveda in 2004, the Curressence Line and the Elixir leave in, I was happy with it, but the products were discontinued. I used Keracare for the last year, I enjoyed the slip it gave my hair, but my hair lacked strength and body. So for the last 3 washes, I switched back to Aveda. I have to admit for the first 2 washes, I did not trust the conditioner, so I mixed it with DRC-28 for an extra boost of strength. Now, I hate midweek washes, because of the time limitations, but for me it is a necessary to keep my hair moisturized and conditioned, piling on more product just weighs my hair down. Normally, about 4 days after a wash, my ends start to look scraggly and even with nightly conditioner, it does not stay smooth and soft.
Midweek Wash
After I washed with the poo, my hair felt so conditioned. I slapped on the conditioner without adding DRC-28 because DRC requires heat. I cooked dinner and then rinsed my hair. I squeezed out the excess water and applied the Phomollient Styling Foam. 10 minutes later, I added the Style Prep Smoother on the last 4" of my hair. I let it air dry. and in about 2 hours it was 85% dry. Once it was dry, I applied the Universal Stylng Cream and did a rollerset and went to bed.
I got compliments on the subway and I stay staring at my hair today. The ends look great again and I have body, movement and natural looking shine and I love the aroma. Also styling foam with a hood dryer rollerset gives mega volume.
I am using nothing but Aveda for the next year and see where it takes me.
