Wow, where do I begin? I am soooo impressed with Aveda Damage Remedy and other products.
First the line up
* Aveda Damage Remedy Poo
* Aveda Damage Remedy Reconstruting Conditioner
* Aveda Phomollient Styling Foam (w. honey)
* Aveda Smooth Infusion Style Prep Smoother
* Aveda Brilliant UNiversal Styling Cream
Background
I last used Aveda in 2004, the Curressence Line and the Elixir leave in, I was happy with it, but the products were discontinued. I used Keracare for the last year, I enjoyed the slip it gave my hair, but my hair lacked strength and body. So for the last 3 washes, I switched back to Aveda. I have to admit for the first 2 washes, I did not trust the conditioner, so I mixed it with DRC-28 for an extra boost of strength. Now, I hate midweek washes, because of the time limitations, but for me it is a necessary to keep my hair moisturized and conditioned, piling on more product just weighs my hair down. Normally, about 4 days after a wash, my ends start to look scraggly and even with nightly conditioner, it does not stay smooth and soft.
Midweek Wash
After I washed with the poo, my hair felt so conditioned. I slapped on the conditioner without adding DRC-28 because DRC requires heat. I cooked dinner and then rinsed my hair. I squeezed out the excess water and applied the Phomollient Styling Foam. 10 minutes later, I added the Style Prep Smoother on the last 4" of my hair. I let it air dry. and in about 2 hours it was 85% dry. Once it was dry, I applied the Universal Stylng Cream and did a rollerset and went to bed.
I got compliments on the subway and I stay staring at my hair today. The ends look great again and I have body, movement and natural looking shine and I love the aroma. Also styling foam with a hood dryer rollerset gives mega volume.
I am using nothing but Aveda for the next year and see where it takes me.

I'm with you!! I'm loving Aveda so much right now, I'm trying it exclusive for the year myself. So far, I have nothing but great things to say about the DR line. Its protein, but leaves my hair so soft and moisturized!!
) for the Smoothing Fluid. 
However in order to get the best out of the product I really think you need to use the shampoo and the treatment together - it seems to amplify the results.
