Aveda Rosemary Mint Shampoo

For years I'd been looking for shampoo to solve my problem: static, fly away hair. Up until I was 21 I had shoulder length hair with a few layers - nothing particularly stylish, and a hair style that I've since learnt did not suit my hair type. It was constantly battling with lank hair that I had to wash every day and I was totally addicted to straightening irons. I flitted between shampoos that were on special offer in Boots, always opting for the ones that claimed to repair and nourish the hair. However all this changed when I visited a new hairdresser 4 years ago.

Firstly - a confession - this review is going to be a two-in-one review. As I use the Rosemary Mint Shampoo with the matching conditioner, I am not clever enough to work out whether the way my hair feels afterwards relates to the shampoo or the conditoner, so I will comment on both of them at once!

A few months ago I was lucky enough to stay in the Westbury Hotel in Dublin. In case you didn't read my review of it, The Westbury is a super-swanky hotel in the heart of Dublin. As with most super-swanky hotels, they give you super-swanky toiletries in your bathroom. In this case, we were lucky enough to be given Aveda Rosemary Mint Toiletries. A few days ago, I was scrabbling round in my cupboard and found them all, so here comes the review...... Aveda Rosemary Mint Shampoo comes in a tall, 250ml, pearlescent bottle with a green lid. The shampoo itself is also pearlescent and slightly runny. When applied to wet hair, it lathers up really well and ...  Read the complete review
