Happy Thursday, friends! I've always been a sucker for trying new beauty products to find the perfect match for me. Finding a company that has quality ingredients, lasting results, and cares about our environment are important factors in my choosing. Aveda hair care products have all of these are more. I've always wanted to try them and am so glad that I finally have. I used each product to create two hair styles that are pretty fabulous for second day hair or when the weather is super hot. The first style is a crown braid that I created and then switched into my ballerina outfit for my brother's birthday celebration. The second is a fish tail braid that is a fun alternative to your everyday braid.
For the first look I started with the Shampure Dry Shampoo, which is actually a powder!, on my roots to soak up any oils and impurities. I love how it instantly revived my hair and smells soooooo good! It has a calming aroma with 25 pure flower and plant essences. Next, separate hair on either side and create a three strand braid on each side. Take one of the braids and wrap it around to the front of the head, securing with a pin at the ear on the opposite side. Repeat with the other braid wrapping it around the head just behind the first braid. To finish the look, I used the Control Force Hair Spray to create an all day firm hold and 24 hour humidity defense. This hair spray also has a net-zero climate impact, UV filters and anti-oxidents, is fast drying and non-flaking, and has certified organic essential oils of Bulgarian lavender, bergamont, palmarosa, and vetiver-calming aroma.
For the second look I started with the thickening tonic to expand my strands from roots to ends. Its 97% naturally driven and powered by botanicals with a refreshing herbal aroma with certified organic vanilla, bergamont, clay sage, and other pure plant and flower essences. Next, I applied the Style Prep Smoother to protect against surface damage, defend against humidity for 12 hours and to create a smooth surface on my hair. Like all of the other products, this smelled amazing! The citrus floral blend is simply yummy. Next, I divided my hair into two sections at the back of my head. Grab a section of hair from the outside , cross it over and combine with the other side. Now with the opposite side, grab a small amount of hair from the outside, cross it over and combine with hair on the opposite side. Repeat until you reach the end of the section. I finished the look with the Control Force Hair Spray.
