Fortify Damaged Hair with NEW Aveda Damage Remedy range

Aveda are re-launching their Damage Remedy Range.  This range is infused with quinoa proteins to moisturize and help repair damaged hair.  I was super excited as I got to try it out before hand and oh my gosh do these products do what they say on the tin!

I tried out the New Damage Remedy - Daily Hair Repair and Damage Remedy Intensive restructuring treatment.

After shampooing (with aveda smooth elements shampoo) I ran through my hair about half a palm size of the intensive restructuring treatment which is to be used once weekly.   I left it about five minutes and then combed through with a tangle teaser. I could tell instantly that the quinoa  protein had smoothed and protected my hair as the tangle teaser ran straight through it.  There are is silicone either in these products so it was great knowing my hair was being protected naturally.

I then rinsed it out, dried it with a towel and massaged into the ends the Daily Hair Repair serum.  This is a really light serum that is not greasy at all.  It serves to protect your hair against heat damage as well as help to detangle and smoothen as it too is enriched with quinoa proteins.

  The smell to this range is from organic bergamoc, ylang ylang and madarin.  Its a more delicate fragrance than that of the smooth elements range, and is soothing and relaxing.  The cool and contemporary gray and white packaging adds to the feeling that you are caring for and protecting your hair.

Results: 

The Aveda Damage Remedy Range really delivers results.  With all natural plant extracts your hair becomes more nourished and cared for and contains no nasty chemicals or silicone like lots of other highstreet brands contain.  I can't wait to incorporate the Intensive Restructuring Treatment and Daily Hair Repair  products into my regime as they repair hair as well as prevent it from future damage.  This range is an absolute must for anybody with dry damaged hair.

AVEDA Smooth Infusions Review

Good Morning!

I've had the pleasure of trying out Aveda's Smooth Infusions range (link) which is specifically designed using plant technology to smooth the hair strands.

Review

Results 10/10: I'm just going to dive right in there with the most important part of this review, the results - this Smooth Infusions range REALLY smoothed my hair and made it considerably sleeker. It contains Tamanu oil to restore the moisture balance and organic aloe, maize and guar bean to smooth the follicles. Though as I was washing my hair I could feel the conditioner smoothing the hair strands, it was only have rough blow drying it that I could see a definite improvement in my hairs condition and smoothness.  This meant I could skip heat styling which is normally a must have for me - excellent news as I can try and restore my hairs health a bit!

Packaging 9/10  I love the sleek & minimalist packing of this duo and lives up to the Aveda image of quality.  It has a matt finish and a beautiful duck egg colour which keeps in tone with its focus on plant infusions   

Heat protection 10/10 I don't know why, but this Smooth Infusions range somehow hasn't sung out at the roof tops that the range protections against surface heat damage! A wheat protein creates a protective barrier  - this is hugely important nowdays with all the heat styling that is used on a daily basis.  I love that heat protection is incorporated into the product as it means you feel a little less guilty when you blow dry!

Perfume 7/10 This won't be everyone's cup of tea but it is mine.  You can't help but notice the potent, herbal perfume of Sandalwood that this range has.  For me it is beautiful, yet and reminds me of the plant elements that are working together to protect the hair, whereas for other it may just be a bit too heady.

Summary - This is a beautiful brand with a beautiful product which really works.  I love that my hair is protected from heat styling and at the same time eliminates most of the need for it as it smoothes and calms my dry frizzy hair.  Aveda's Smooth Infusions Range is excellent for anyone with dry / damaged / flyaway hair :)
