Aveda Dry Remedy Shampoo+ L'Oreal Vive Pro Conditoner= Heaven

So for the past month, I've actually put in effort to deal with this hair of mine. There's a love hate relationship going on at the moment. I love the fact that it's actually growing and has gone past my shoulders (although my hair is layered so the front is still somewhat shorter). And I also love the whole natural thing. BUT I also hate the whole natural thing because my hair is not as "natural" as it used to be...I don't know if this makes any sense whatsoever but I think I over relaxed my hair because it is no longer curly nor wavy.

But then again it's only been two months since I've been growing out my hair from relaxed to natural.

I also hate having to actually take care of my hair. When relaxed, I normally unwrap and go..natural hair requires more care and quite frankly I'm lazy.

There I said it.

BUT for the past month, I have been IN LOVE! I stopped going to the Dominicans to do my hair (times are hard financially) and have bought myself a blowdryer. Normally my hair comes out super poofy and I just want to crawl and hide but my shampoo/ conditioner combo has got me singing victory!

The shampoo I've been using is Aveda's Dry Remedy Shampoo (I have the conditioner but haven't tested it out yet). This shampoo has a patent-pending Deep-Moisture complex that penetrates hair in order to deliver lasting, intense moisture. It is powered by buriti oil, pomegranate and palm-derived conditioners. This shampoo smells AWESOME! There's a floral aroma that goes off in my shower and honestly has me lathering for at least a minute or two longer than I'm supposed to. This shampoo includes certified organic products palmarosa (a floral fragrance with a hint of rose and is said to be rejuvenating, uplifting and calming) , rose geranium, ylang ylang as well as other products as buriti oil, pomegranate and palm-derived conditioners. There's also a hint of vanilla! The scent alone had me smiling in the shower and it did not make my hair feel icky in while lathering. This baby rinsed of like a dream.


After shampooing, I conditioned my hair using L'Oreal Vive Pro Nutri Gloss Conditioner for dry/damaged hair. I've raved about this conditioner before and am not afraid to do it again. My hair was super soft and manageable. Easy to comb through and made detangling a breeze. No knots in this head of hair! The pearl protein complex in this shampoo nourishes hair and helps prevent split ends (a.k.a hair enemy #1).




And since it was about that time, I used
L’Oreal Vive Pro Nutri Gloss Conditioning Treatment after the conditioner. I just let this sit in my hair for what I feel like is the three minutes they say (but their three minutes is my like five...). When rinsing, it just glides of my hair and doesn't leave any nasty filmy residue. This treatment has a pearl protein complex that delivers maximum shine and revitalizes hair.



The result you ask?






Shiny. Soft. Manageable hair.

Seriously look at that hair. WONDERFUL! This is the best shampoo/ conditioner combination ever!
