For all of you ladies that are using AVEDA, which of their products do you recommend for daily moisture? I had the Brilliant Universal Styling Creme but that was kinda heavy, What do you use that is a bit more water-based?
Which AVEDA product for daily moisture?

I used usc and I also felt that was too heavy. Most aveda users here use usc for daily moisture. Aveda doesn't have too many daily moisturizing products. I searched non stop the aveda site and the only thing that appealed to me as a moisturizer was usc. The only other moisturizing products I can think of are the humectant and anti-humectant pomades. But those may be to heavy for daily use. Unfortunately, I had to go outside of aveda for a daily moisturizer. I now use phyto 9.

Thanks Kari107!! I currently use Lacio Lacio which I will probably never give up as a leave in, even if I start using AVEDA exclusively for the other products. I think I heard the AVEDA DR would launch a leave in soon. Also there is an LHCF member who uses aveda exclusively (i cant remember her name) but she uses BE CURLY as a daily moisturizer. Maybe I will stick with my LAcio LAcio. How do you like the PHyto 9?
....not a good look

I am going to have to try these products. I keep hearing nothing but good about it. theres a salon right up the street I might have to check it out.
Hi AK, I did mention that Aveda was coming out with a new DR leave-in. When I was at Aveda over the weekend the sales lady mentioned again, it will be released in the fall but rather than a cream, it will be a liquid
erplexedIm not sure how I feel about that but.....oh well
I use Aveda exclusively too but I've never used Be Curly. I do use Hang Straight, Brilliant Damage Control Spray & Elixir for leave ins as needed. HTH

Thanks everyone for your replies
DIONNE31....Yea...about the Liquid Aveda DR leave in, I wish it were a cream, I liked the Brilliant Damage Control spray but again with rollersets I prefer a daily moisturizer that is creamy. The Elixir is nice on wet hair but I find it to be sticky on dry hair.
What do you think about Hang Straight? Is it creamy and moisturizing?

Yeah I liked that Damage Control spray but since I am doing more rollersets these days, I would like to find a creamy leave in.

Yea I remember using this awhile back, you are right!! The tube is teeny tiny and doesn't last very long.

Yes, the Hang Straight is a cream & I find it to be moisturizing too. Sunday I rollerset using just the Control Spray & Hang Straight & a tad of the Brilliant serum. Today it's still soft & moisturized. I will use the USC tonight before I wrap it.

Durn it..don't make me run to AVEDA and pick this stuff up. Did you use the Damage Remedy to condish? Do you ever use the Brilliant condish?
Sunday was my "clarifying day" so I used ...
Detoxifier Poo
Shampure Poo
DR & Brilliant Conditioner mixed
then the HG, DC spray & serum for rollerset
i really like the Brilliant conditioner, the poo is aight, I like the Shampure poo better.

I second that
Ya'll have got me wanting to get some more Aveda products...maybe give that USC another try. But I think I've got my mind made up to buy some avocado butter and I'm TRYINNNNGGG not to become a product junkie.

Donnie, Your hair looks nice and thick in your pics. I hope mine looks HALF as good as yours when I start using the stuff. I am going tonight after work and wash tomorrow.
I really appreciate the compliment but honestly what you see is the result of rollersets. My hair is really fine & thin.... no where near thick. This is why I rollerset every week..it gives me volume & the illusion of thicker hair.
I hope you enjoy you aveda goodies! Let us now how you like em

Well ladies I went to the Aveda store and this is what I brought:
1. Sap Moss Shampoo
2. Sap Moss Conditioner
3. Brilliant USC
4. Brilliant Damage Control
5. Brilliant Emollient Finishing Gloss
6. Ylang Ylang Oil (Carrier Oil) Smells really good to put thru my hair to smell good!
She suggested Sap Moss because I already have UBH for a DC and I told her that I wanted to have something that would balance out my moisure and protein and so that is what she said I should use. We will see. I will be washing tomorrow night and I will let you know how it turned out.
The Damage: $110.79!!!
I HOPE I like it. The store clerk said that If I did not, I can always bring it back for a full refund so I do not feel THAT bad!

Hey chica, a word to the wise...If you don't like the Sap Moss Con as a regular con, try it as a leave-in. I have heard it works better that way.

That sounds like a good suggestion, I still have some USC left over, maybe I will try it out b/c I did like the DC spray when I had it.

Ladies, How exactly do you use your USC? What do you use it for?

Aw, thanks *blushes*
Fine hair is gorgeous in it's own right as well so don't despair. There are styles with lots of body that you can do that also give the appearance of "fuller" hair. Some of the other ladies with experience in this may be good resources for how to achieve this.
