The Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening Shampoo is designed for regular use to transform damaged hair into visibly stronger, healthier-looking strands. It works by gently cleansing the hair and scalp, removing environmental pollutants and styling product residue, while simultaneously infusing plant-derived strength. You can expect your hair to feel clean, soft, and progressively more resilient with continued application. For optimal results, use it as part of a complete hair repair routine. ### How to Use for Best Results 1. Wet Hair Thoroughly: Ensure your hair is completely wet before application. 2. Apply Shampoo: Dispense a small amount (about a coin-sized portion, adjusting for hair length and thickness) into your palm. 3. Lather and Massage: Work the shampoo into a rich lather and gently massage it into your scalp and through the lengths of your hair. Focus on areas with product build-up or dryness. 4. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse your hair completely with warm water until all shampoo is removed. 5. Repeat if Desired: For hair with significant build-up or for a deeper cleanse, a second shampoo application can be beneficial. 6. Follow with Conditioner: For enhanced strengthening and repair, follow with a complementary conditioner and treatment from the Aveda Botanical Repair series. Consistency is key when addressing hair damage; incorporate this shampoo into your regular hair care regimen to achieve the best strengthening and repairing benefits.
