Got Samples – Aveda Dry Remedy

Aveda Dry Remedy
I got my hands on some Aveda samples a couple of weeks ago and I was super excited to try them. Aveda products are pretty pricey in my opinion so the chance to try them and satisfy my pj urge before taking the plunge is great. There are alot of people who swear by them and then there are others who aren’t impressed. So far, i’m on the not impressed side. I went to an Aveda salon about a month ago to get my do done and the lady recommended the Dry Remedy line for me. I wanted to try it, but that price tag ($24 for 6.7 oz and $42 for 16 oz) had me questioning a few things. My hair turned out great by the way, but I dont even think she used the line in my hair. Imagine my surprise when I got an email offering up free samples for the Dry Remedy and the Damage Remedy treatment. My hair had been especially dry the past week for no reason so it was an excellent time to test out this natural wonder. First things first, it has a nice consistency, not real creamy but definately not runny. It has that Aveda scent, if you are not familiar its screams i’m a natural product with its woody and citrusy undertones…. makes me feel all bohemian and such. I’m not a huge fan, but it doesnt linger. I instantly felt my hair was softened after slathering it all over, and I left it on with a shower cap for a little over an hour. I detangled before rinsing and I have to admit that it did help in that department. Sad part is, once I rinsed the wonderfullness I thought I had was gone. My hair certainly felt conditioned, but it wasn’t exactly my Dry Remedy; I won’t be purchasing the full bottle. I think this would be a pretty good cowash conditioner but since it doesn’t have that good cowash price i’ll have to pass. I usually like to try a product a few times before making my review, but since I just had the sample this will have to do. I actually think my relaxed hair would have loved it, so if you’re relaxed I would try to see if an Aveda store in your area offers some samples. I’m kind of bummed about it to be honest, but i’m super glad I didnt waste my money. They way my hair has been acting, with moisture just leaking out for no reason, I think its time for a little protein in my life anyway, so stay tuned for my Damage Remedy Intensive Treatment review.
