Advantages: Bosts shine and hair dries straighter

Disadvantages: Doesn't prevent all flyaways

I must admit I am terrible to my hair. I wash, dry and straighten it every day, therefore using a lot of heat on it. This product was one of the more expensive heat treatments on the market so I expected better results than I have had before using other products of this kind, I was pleased with the results but I would have expected a little more for a product of this price.

I bought this at my hair dressers on recommendation for what I think was between £12 and £15 for 200ml.

I am a fan of the aveda products especially because of the smell and this product was no different. I used this product every morning on damp hair and it did smooth on just as the product said. I didn't need to use that much of the lotion to apply the lotion to all of my hair from roots to ends which was slightly surprising. Once my hair was blow-dried I would have to say that my hair did hang straighter than it would have done if I had not used the lotion but I did still need to straighten my hair quite a lot for i to be totally straight.

The product claims to
-smooth flyaways
-boost shine
-resist effects of humididty

I however feel the product only works for two out of three of these claims. I would say it did not really smooth all of my flyaways as I still had a few even after this product was used. Though it did boost shine and almost completely resist effects of humidity.

I would say his product was quite successful but maybe not worth the price as I have found other cheaper products which produced about the same results.

Summary: Cheaper products have the same results
