If you answered:
Mostly A:
You’re a star. You’re treating your hair well and keeping it in good condition. But everyone’s hair needs a little extra help at times, so why not ask me about adding an Aveda damage remedy daily hair repair treatment to your blow dry, cut, or colour service next time you’re in the salon?
This leave-in treatment will instantly improve the look of your hair while detangling and protecting it from heat styling. What’s even better is that it’s made from 98% natural ingredients so you know your hair is getting some gentle goodness.
Mostly B:
You’re doing okay, but you could be doing a little bit more to protect your hair from damage. Introduce the damage remedy restructuring shampoo and conditioner to your routine, as well as the daily hair repair. Once per week, use the damage remedy intensive restructuring treatment to smooth and strengthen your hair. Think of it like a face mask for your hair. All of these products are packed with quinoa protein and other natural ingredients that will leave your hair silky soft, strong, and shiny.
Mostly C:
Your hair is definitely in need of some damage repair. Try introducing a hair repair routine with all of the Aveda products I’ve mentioned above, and next time you’re in the salon, let’s have a chat about how you can reduce hair damage. Maybe you need to have more regular trims, take a break from chemical dyes and treatments, or let your hair dry naturally more often. Let the journey to your best hair yet begin!
