Another Aveda Praise..

To help get the board on to track again with hair topics..I just had to post my findings of experimenting this week. I posted a few days ago about having a bottle of Placenta spray and since getting onto the Aveda line, I haven't used anything else til day before yesterday. I washed my hair as usual... then when I got done, I sprayed the Placenta spray on my hair. I have stated before since starting to use Aveda that I do not get the "itchies" of the scalp or build up anymore. Well.. the very next day after using the Placenta spray, lo and behold, my scalp started to itch. I haven't had this happen for over a couple of months. I had almost forgotten how it felt.. ick. Back to my Aveda and nothing else.. Has anyone else who switched to Aveda noticed the build up symptoms disappeared? I constantly switched around because of this very symptom. Itchy scalp, hair limp.. maybe those who wash their hair everyday do not have this as much, but with dry hair, I only wash mine every 3 days. So, I have time to notice these symptoms. Aveda maybe expensive..but I have to say it works.. Cher

I use the Shampure and the Curessence. I like the smell myself.. it's different..not your normal perfumey smell of shampoo. I love what it does for my hair. I guess, this is just a case of to each his own! Cher>

Okay, my thoughts on scents (and on tangles, per another thread of discussion) as it relates to Aveda's Shampure and Cherry Almond Bark...Until about a month ago, I had been using System Biolage nearly all the time, for about four years. I liked it well enough, but since Karen and others spoke so highly of Aveda... I had to try it.My first impression was that Shampure does have a very strong scent, sort of like pine. Anyway, after shampooing, only a fraction of the scent seems to remain, which I like -- to me, my hair smells the way it "should." The Biolage had very little fragrance, so my hair would seems to get dirty faster... maybe the scent of the Shampure repels (or masks) the dirt that's picked up. Anyway, I appreciate the Shampure in this respect.There are two other benefits I noticed when I started to use Shampure and Cherry Bark. (1) As it dried, my hair tended to get a lot less tangled than it did with Biolage or anything else. (2) My hair seems to have more volume with the Aveda products than with any other products I have ever used.I feel like I am still evaluating the Aveda products on other criteria... no other definitive conclusions yet.Dave
