I worked for Estee' Lauder and Clinique who I understand owns Aveda. I am not impressed with the company practices at all.

Mmmm; must go think...

Dave... what do you use?

I didn't know anything about bad business practices, but now you've got me curious. I really would like to use something else. At Almost $20 a bottle, I think they are a little out of their minds.

Do you agree that Suave and White Rain are good options?

Thank you everyone for your input. I really appreciate it. :)

Wow, farahsatana -- your hair is beautiful! (As is everyone else's!)

And yeah, I agree -- Aveda s&c's do smell nice. I used to use the products, but haven't in at least 5 years now. Sort of my own personal boycott of the company based on some unsavory business practices (sorry, I won't go into details). Not that it matters, I've since used a fair variety of other products, and happy hair has been achieved without Aveda.

And FWIW Nekita, I don't believe that Aveda products will help you grow your hair any faster than any other decent/good products. Hair care technique and general physical health are much more important factors.

I have Aveda's Sap Moss Shampoo and I really like it. It is my 2nd favorite shampoo.

It is expensive, but it has the consistency of toothpaste in a tube; I can sqeeze just a bit on my fingertips and place it where I want it on my scalp, lather up and it's all I need.

What I have seen of Aveda products, some have 'cones; the cherry almond bark reconstructing conditioner has no 'cones and looks like it would be good.

My favorite "light" conditioners are Suave Daily Clarifying Conditioner, White Rain Extra Body, and VO5 Free Me Freesia and Hydrators.

The heavier duty conditioners I use are Elasta QP Intense, Hollywood Beauty Carrot Cholesterol, and Pantene Pro-V.

I'm a conditioner junkie, but it's a cheap habit.


Just looking for a few good hair slaves - is that too much to ask?

Yeah, it is pretty darn expensive. If it costs more, it's gotta be good, right? (joke). What do you use that costs $1-$2.50?

Aveda was recommended to me...and not knowing too much about hair care, I figured I'd try it.

I just looked that up online. Wow! It's expensive!

My regular conditioners cost $1 a bottle or less, and my "special" ones cost $2.50 a bottle.

I was hoping someone would know if Aveda products are good for trying to grow hair long. Has anyone tried them?

I recently started using Aveda products on my hair. Does anyone have any comments on it?

Thanks... :)
