FAQs
How often should I use the Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening Shampoo?
This shampoo is gentle enough for daily use. The frequency depends on your hair type, lifestyle, and how often you typically wash your hair. For damaged hair, consistent use is recommended to maximize repair benefits.
Is this shampoo suitable for color-treated hair?
While the product description doesn't explicitly state 'color-safe,' Aveda products are generally formulated with gentle, plant-derived ingredients. For specific concerns, consult with your stylist or Aveda directly. Info needed: Official color-safe confirmation.
What does 'power of plants' mean in this shampoo?
The 'power of plants' refers to the formulation using botanical ingredients and extracts that are scientifically proven to help strengthen and repair hair, rather than relying solely on synthetic chemicals.
Are there other sizes available for this shampoo?
Yes, the Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening Shampoo is also available in larger sizes, specifically 200ml and 1000ml, offering more options for regular users.
Will this shampoo make my hair feel dry?
No, this shampoo is designed to cleanse luxuriously and gently, removing impurities without stripping hair of its natural moisture. It aims to leave hair feeling soft and clean, not dry or brittle.
Is this product vegan or cruelty-free?
Info needed: Specific vegan and cruelty-free certification status. Aveda generally prides itself on ethical sourcing and cruelty-free practices, but for specific claims, official product labeling should be checked.
Troubleshooting
Hair still feels oily or heavy after washing.
Ensure you are rinsing your hair thoroughly. Sometimes, shampoo residue can leave a heavy feeling. You might also consider a second, lighter wash if your hair has significant product buildup. Ensure your water is not too cold, which can hinder residue removal.
Not seeing immediate strengthening or repair results.
Hair repair is a gradual process. Consistent use of the shampoo, ideally combined with the full Botanical Repair system, is key. Give the product a few weeks of regular use to see noticeable improvements in hair strength and health.
Shampoo doesn't lather well.
Ensure your hair is thoroughly wet before applying the shampoo. If hair is not wet enough, lathering can be difficult. Hard water can also affect lather; consider using slightly more product or an in-shower filter if this is a concern.
