With this newest product offering, Aveda has truly outdone themselves. Botanical Repair delivers intense hair repair with a plant-powered, bond-building treatment to protect hair from the inside out.
Seriously, move over Olaplex, you’ve met your plant-based match. If you have color treated or otherwise processed hair – run, don’t walk, to try this out. Sans any protein, this collection focuses on three key layers of the hair. Bond-multiplying molecules strengthen and repair hair at the cortex; a nourishing micro-green blend prevents breakage in the cuticle; lastly, a plant-derived complex mimics the hair’s outer f-layer to help protect hair.
Overall the professional service is a quick process, taking about 10-15 minutes and can easily be added to a color service. The smell is divine, featuring a fresh, floral, herbal aroma, with ylang ylang, rose and marjoram essential oils. (If you’re a fan of the Shampure scent or a super-fan of any rose smell, like myself, you’ll love it!) The collection also includes a take-home system to maintain your shiniest, healthiest hair.
I’ve used Aveda’s Nutri-plenish line for months and even my healthy head of hair saw an immediate change. My hair was noticeably softer, smoother, and SO MUCH shinier afterwards! This product has the makings of a new Holy Grail, and I will definitely be repeating the process anytime my hair needs a boost. I still can’t believe how much my hair was able to absorb and be enriched in such a short time, but the secret is in all that aforementioned science!
