Aveda Hair Must Haves for Healthy, Damage Free Hair


I was lucky enough to get an entire basket full of Aveda goodies a few months back and I've been busy testing out all of them...and loving every minute of it!    
I decided to break up the products into groups and do my reviews based on the those groupings and decided to start with the hair care products first.  I've been dying to do my reviews of all these amazing Aveda products but summer got the best of me and I have fallen drastically behind.  So, without further ado...

First up and probably my favorite of the bunch is the Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair.  This is the first product I reach for when I get out of shower.  I love putting this in my freshly washed hair.  It detangles and softens my hair while also making it smell amazing.  This is a leave-in hair repair treatment that instantly goes to work to repair damaged, dry hair.  It also helps to protect hair from further damage from heat styling.  My hair has definitely become stronger and healthier because of this one Aveda product.  It feels better, it looks better and it has even grown longer since I've been using this.  I will never be without my Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair!
Retails for $30.00 for 3.4 oz (which lasts FOREVER, a little goes a long way)

Another great Aveda product and one of their best sellers is the Shampure Dry Shampoo.  This quickly became one of my all time favorite dry shampoos.  Not only does it smell amazing but I love that it's a non-aerosol powder.  The fine powder easily absorbs excess oils and it gives hair great volume and texture.  Did I mention it smells amazing too?
Retails for $31.00 for 2 oz. (again, lasts FOREVER)
The other product that has played a huge role in making my hair stronger and healthier is the Damage Ready Split End Repair.  This stuff instantly makes split ends disappear.  A special oil, Nangai Oil, helps to draw the separated ends back together.  The unique formula smooths and seals the ends and also helps prevent any future split ends from forming.  Hair looks and feels soft and smooth.  Beautiful.
Retails for $32.00 for 1oz. (yep, lasts FOREVER and a little goes a long way)


I like to call this next product my Happy Ending (get your mind out of the gutter, lol).  The Dry Remedy Daily Moisturizing Oil is a miracle worker.  It instantly transforms dry, brittle and damaged hair to soft, glossy, nourished and manageable hair.  I like to apply a little of this after I've done all my styling but before I add any hairspray.  I work it through my ends and wherever I feel my hair needs a little extra love.  Then I apply my hairspray and finish off with a little more of this Dry Remedy Daily Moisturizing Oil to tame any flyaway's and to add just a little more shine.  Happy Ending!
Retails for $30.00 for 1 oz. (this one bottle while easily last a year...or more!)

I am a total Aveda product convert.  I have loved every product I've tried so far, can't wait to try more and I simply love what Aveda as a company is all about.  Besides having exceptional products and being a "green" company and everything that entails they take it a step further by leading by example and being on the forefront of environmental leadership.  Their inspiring Mission Statement says it all..

OUR MISSION AT AVEDA IS TO CARE FOR THE WORLD WE LIVE IN,
FROM THE PRODUCTS WE MAKE TO THE WAYS IN WHICH
WE GIVE BACK TO SOCIETY. AT AVEDA, WE STRIVE TO SET
AN EXAMPLE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP AND RESPONSIBILITY,

C-ESTA Serum by Jan Marini Skin Research


As a blogger I've tried A LOT different Vitamin C Serums but this C-ESTA Serum by Jan Marini Skin Research is by far the best I've ever used.  It's also the most expensive I've ever used at price tag of $105.00.  However, I've found that when it comes to a good Vitamin C serum you get what you pay for.  Sure, you can buy much cheaper versions of Vitamin C Serum and have some pretty great results, I know I have.  But, if your looking for a serum that will help with smooth out uneven texture, diminish wrinkles and fine lines, firm and tighten skin and help lighten and brighten your complexion then you need this C-ESTA Serum in your life!  Plus, I started to see a difference in my skin texture and pigmentation after just a few days of continued morning and evening use!  It usually takes at least a week or more to notice even a slight difference with the other Vitamin C Serums that I've used.  Seeing such great results so quickly is just another reason that this C-ESTA Serum is worth the extra $.
The C-ESTA Serum by Jan Marini Skin Research is formulated with Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C), Hyaluronic Acid, DMAE and Vitamins (B5 & E) and other powerful ingredients.  Those exceptional ingredients make this serum a potent antioxidant, anti-aging rock star!  It's also perfect for all skin types from acne-prone to dry skin.  Everyone can benefit from this serum!  
The serum itself is very lightweight and thin and it's very important to shake the bottle really well before dispensing product.  Once applied to the skin the serum absorbs almost instantly and works really well with other skincare products like other serums, moisturizers and it even wears well under makeup!
Below is an example of what products I use on a regular basis and what I have been using with the C-ESTA Serum.  These particular products are what I use for my morning skincare routine.  I change it up a bit a night with oils and sometimes I use a different cleanser but I always use the Jan Marini Hyla 3D and the C-ESTA Serum.  They are both worth the investment.
I cannot recommend this C-ESTA Serum enough!  This serum delivers clinical results but at a much lower cost than you would pay for an office visit and a prescription!

You can purchase the C-ESTA Serum by Jan Marini Skin Research at janmarini.com and it retails for $105.00 for 8 oz.
