Aveda's Deep Penetrating Revitalizer

Hi Kara,I have to say "me too" to Sherry's post. I grew a large amount of my hair using the Aveda products. I could never get into the Rosemary Mint and the Cherry Almond Bark definitely did not do it for me although Jeff loves it for his hair. I had great luck with both the Revitalizer and I personally liked the Curressence which I still use a couple of times a month.I alternate between Shampure and Curressence and ARTec Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner. I LOVE ARTec. It makes my hair so soft and silky. However, the Shampure is a great alternate.I tried the Moisture Pac and wrote a detailed review of my findings for Hair Boutique. I personally believe that it is one of the best deep conditioners on the market today.One thing I did discover about Aveda is that the conditioners, Cherry Almond, Deep Revitalizer, Curressence work differently depending on the shampoo. I never liked the results of the Chamomile shampoo with the Deep Reviatlizer but I had good results with the Shampure and Deep Revitalizer.In many ways I think that Cherry Almond works great for chemically untreated hair (which is probalby why it works great for Jeff). My hair is highlighted 4x a year and so I think that is part of the reason I don't have as much luck with it.I still love the Aveda products. But I really get fabulous results with ARTec Smoothing and the Moisture Pac. Everyone's hair is different though. So you have to experiment until you find what works best for you. :-)Best wishes,Have a great day.Karen> Hi Kara!> I was a faithful user of Aveda's Deep Penetrating> Conditioner for almost two years, until I discovered> ARTec's Moisture Pac.

If anyone has used this product, could you please give me all the details? I love Shampure, but I haven't had any luck with Rosemary/Mint(not moisturizing enough), Cherry/Almond Bark(this stuff is AWFUL; just coats my hair!), or Curressence(way too heavy for daily use), so I thought I would try this out. Of course, I'd like to hear any opinions first!Thanks!Kara
