Friday, I went to an Aveda Concept Salon and it was AWESOME!!! I was amazed with everything. I loved my hair care and even moreso, the atmosphere was quiet, relaxing, and pampering. My hairdresser was concerned with my hair issues, patiently answered all my questions, and told me everything she was doing step by step.
She asked me what my ultimate goal was and I told her to get my hair healthy, stop relaxing, and go natural. She told me, "your last touchup was your LAST and you are going natural from this day forth, I'm looking at your new growth and I can see you didn't need relaxing in the first place. At Aveda, we're focused on hair health and care. I will teach you how to care for and maintain your hair on your road to healthy natural hair! I was so shocked and awed---all I could do was "blink, blink." I didn't have to explain myself, defend myself, or demand a thing! I said, "okay!" And she was off and running. She used the Damage Remedy line, mixed some oils/conditioners for a moist towel heat treatment under the dryer, did a couple other things that I don't remember and she combed through my 3" of new growth "like BUTTA!!!!" I was waiting for the detangling drama to begin and and all she did was comb through once and fire up the blow dryer! After blow drying, I rec'd my cut. I already knew my ends/layers were a hot mess, so I picked a simple cut and received a chopping of I guess, 3-4 inches and long layers. She gave me a silky flat ironing/end bumping. I asked her how my hair was gonna hold up without a touchup and with it raining (all day hard). She told me not to worry I'd be good she'd tell me what to do. I was apprehensive because at the first sign of humidity and moisture I become a human dandelion! When she finished and swirled me around to the mirror----my hair had swing, I'm talking SWANG swing!!! She told me what she used, how she used it, I bought my stuff, and SKIPPED happily out the door!!! And the "end all beat all"----by that evening I had to go out for a few hours and came back expecting to be the dandelion and my hair was as straight and silky as I left the salon!
YyyyESSSSSSS!!! I have a new hairdresser! YYYyyyeeeSSSSSSSS!!!!
I bought the recommended:
Aveda Damage Remedy Poo, Conditioner
Be Curly Poo, Conditioner, and Control (for wash and go days)
Brilliant Damage Control
Control Paste (occasionally, for stray control)
Beautifying Composition (for ends and scalp massage)
Will be checking all these out and figuring how they'll fit in my routine. I AM IN LOVE!!!
ps...the below pictures are hours after my salon visit. Sorry for the blurriness! Hope you get the general idea....
