Oh, I hate washing my hair because it takes so darn long to dry and style. I shouldn’t complain, I know, because I fortunately have so much of it. But after washing my hair, drying it requires using a high temperature on my hair dryer and it takes at least 15 minutes for it to dry. Next I have to flat iron it because even if I use anti-frizz products, it still has way too much volume and it looks awful. All that heat can definitely damage my hair.
I’ve discovered a lot of excellent haircare products over the past few years, and I wanted to tell you about another great haircare product that makes an immediate difference in the health of my hair: Aveda Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair.
Aveda Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair
I think Aveda Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair was formulated for people like me who fry their hair! It’s made to protect hair from heat and repair the damage that heat can do. In fact, about a month ago, I fried part of my bangs with my flat iron and the hair felt burnt and crimped. Aveda Damage Remedy seems to have fixed it ‘coz now it’s smoooooth again!
Here’s how Aveda describes the product, its benefits and key ingredients:
Instantly repairs and protects from heat styling.
• 97% naturally derived* leave-in treatment instantly repairs the integrity of hair’s surface.
• helps protect the hair against breakage and thermal damage up to 450°.
• formulated with quinoa protein, this leave-in treatment helps give you stronger, longer hair.
Aveda Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair comes in a plastic tube, and though I might actually prefer a pump bottle, it’s easy to squeeze out a relatively small amount of the rich off-white liqui-serum. I use at least a quarter size blob of serum ‘coz I have a lot of hair. I apply it to my hair with my fingers from crown to tips and then comb it through to make sure it’s distributed well. For those of you who are fragrance sensitive, I don’t really smell any scent.
Next, I blow-dry my hair, and it is less frizzy than usual. I still need to flat iron my hair as usual, but afterwards, my hair feels unbelievably silky and healthy.
I used to be concerned about leave-in treatments weighing down my hair, but Aveda Damage Remedy doesn’t make my hair feel heavy, nor does it make it feel dirty quicker. I still wash my color-treated red hair every 4-5 days unless it’s super hot and humid out.
I strongly recommend Aveda Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair. I had been using another spray leave-in multi-benefit product for a year or so before I tried Aveda Damage Remedy. I’m switching because Aveda Damage Remedy is even better for my hair.
Aveda Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair comes in a travel size, 0.85 fl. oz. for $9.00, that may be a good way to try it out. I’ve got the 3.4 fl. oz./100 ml size that’s priced at $30. It’s sold in Aveda stores and on the Aveda website as well as at Nordstrom and on Jet.com. Aveda haircare is about as natural as you can get, it’s cruelty-free, and their packaging is manufactured from recycled materials.
Aveda Damage Remedy is made from plant-derived ingredients including hydrolyzed wheat protein, in case you’re gluten-sensitive. It also contains dimethicone that my hair loves but some people can’t use.

Aveda Thickening Tonic Giveaway

Aveda is a wonderful brand!
My hair is thin by my temples (more so on the side my part is on). It is hard to get it to hold a curl now & it’s driving me crazy. I know that Aveda makes great products with natural ingredients, so I’d love to try this out & see if it helps my ‘baby hairs’ area!
One of the commenters tried it at a hair salon and she loved it. Hopefully it’s a good one, Kim. Aveda really does have great natural products. Thanks for entering, and good luck!
What a great giveaway! I am in your hair camp though – so I enjoyed reading about this heat protectant. It takes so much effort I have gotten lazy and every other day when I wash my hair I use sea salt spray or a cream for curls and just give in to being lazy about my hair lol! But something like this is so beneficial for straightening days!!!

You’re lucky you have those adorable curls! If I don’t blow dry and flat iron, I just look awful 🙁 So I really need the heat protection
My hair is thinning especially in the front. I need all the help I can get.
One of the commenters tried it at a hair salon and she loved it. Hopefully it’s a good one. Thanks for entering, Patricia, and good luck!
Your hair looks beautiful!

You can’t beat Aveda for wonderful haircare. Before I became so sensitive to fragrance it’s all I used.

Surprisingly, Aveda Damage Remedy Daily Repair doesn’t have a scent!
As I am getting older my hair is thinning . would love this!
One of the commenters tried it at a hair salon and she loved it. Hopefully it’s a good one. Thanks for entering, Ashley, and good luck!
I hear you. I have longer hair, I hate the drying part so 99% of the time, I just let it air-dry or sleep with my hair wet. I love your beautiful red hair
Thank you, Kathryne xoxo I wish I could air dry my hair but it looks awful, nothing good about it at all. I wear it in a ponytail in the summer but it doesn’t look chic like yours does! After I dry and then flat iron, it gets nice and shiny and silky. That’s why I need the heat protection
Now that I chopped off all my hair, it’s super quick to style, but still I find myself air drying it lol. Now that I dye it, I need to look into something like this!
Julie recently posted…Urban Decay Naked Heat Collection – Eyeshadow, Lipstick & Eyeliner
The Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair is really good, but if you air dry you probably don’t need it!
The last six months I’ve noticed a significant amount of hair loss. I have fine hair and this would help make it look fuller again.
Oh no, Michelle! Sometimes we shed more during the summer. One of the commenters tried Aveda Thickening Tonic at the hair salon, and she really liked the results. Glad you entered the giveaway. Good luck 🙂
I have been losing hair like crazy – Def will give this a try
Good luck to all who enter!
