Aveda for Healthy Hair with Botanical Repair, Damage Remedy and Nutriplenish

[@portcity34]

Okay, you definitely need to do more videos with Aveda products. I've learned more from your videos than from the stylists at the Aveda salon in my area or from Aveda chat. I had a great Aveda stylist in CA when I lived there--here in the Northeast not so much. Thanks again Deron.

[@DeronEdward]

Aw Valerie thank you, I will! Just moved states and have been getting my studio space set up, I’ll have more soon I promise! Follow me on insta I do some aveda nuggets there too. Where in the northeast are you? Maybe I can help get you set up with a salon (I know people 😉)

​@@DeronEdward hey Deron, are you still planning to do a video on silicone? Looks like you stopped 2 years ago. I really appreciate your explanation and breakdown between these different lines. 😊

[@DeronEdward]

@brookeb7994 thank you so much! It has been a minute since I did a KZbin video, I’ve been spending all my time on IG, but a silicone video might be in order!

[@DivaEagle77]

I have 4c, low porosity colored/ salt & pepper hair and Damage Remedy has changed my life! I see they are bringing these new lines, but I’m scared to try anything else. Silicones or no silicones, it works! Awesome video BTW. Thank you!

[@DeronEdward]

Thank you! Don’t worry, Damage Remedy isn’t going anywhere. 😊 Do you go to an Aveda salon? If you have a system that works there’s no need to change it, you might like the Botanical Repair treatment with your next salon color service, and you might like Nutriplenish leave-in conditioner, but again it would more for the sake of mixing it up. (You have beautiful hair btw 😊)

Love it....simple, easy, informative and fun! Always a pleasure learning from you!!!

Thank you Charnie!!

I am naturally curly - colored hair - dry and damaged.. so far i have tried out nutriplenish: awful for my hair... it gives volume/frizz, which I don’t need, it doesn’t help detangling and actually feel in my hair like when you go color your hair and they damage it to much... you can feel that damage even when they are just rinsing your hair after the color time finishes. All of that might be related to the porosity of my hair and the fact that i have color and highlights might have altered the porosity of my hair so it is a sponge and then doesn’t go well with a ‘hidrating’ product. On the other hand, I have tried the botanical repair line... OMG... it is like a spa for my hair, it gives shine and definition to my curls, it helps me with the detangling process and overall makes my hair to look healthy even though it is not as healthy these days... I have not tried the damage remedy line but I will... Note: the above observations were true from the first use and didn’t change my opinion after several uses... nutriplenish=no botanical repair=yes... from the start.

[@DeronEdward]

Thanks so much for sharing! It’s true there are so many hair types and textures, we all have different needs, I’m so glad Botanical Repair is working for you! 😊

[@PrincessGayle14]

Thank you! I’ve been using the repair shampoo and did find that it didn’t have enough moisture and had some hair fall. So I stopped using it. But I did like the conditioner and leave in treatment afterwards. I feel it has made a difference in strengthening my hair and keeps the style longer n no more brittle n frizz.

[@jessijasa]

excellent and straight to the point

[@DeronEdward]

Thanks so much!

[@denisemoore9316]

Thanks for the clarification!!! I had already purchased damage remedy shampoo and conditioner along with the botanical masque!

[@johannags8000]

[@prettytrombonist]

My stylist used the Botanical Repair leave in on my hair yesterday and did a blow out on it. It is still so silky today. I’m curious to try more from the lines you mentioned.

[@DeronEdward]

It’s fantastic! I have a video just on botanical repair too, definitely check it out!

[@MJ-ty3mn]

Hi 👋 Thank you for such a wonderful, informative and genuinely helpful video 🙏. I'm keen to understand a little more about the Botanical Repair line and it would be great to hear your thoughts on the below... 1. Is the Botanical Repair (BR) in-salon- treatment Activator + Additive, a protein treatment? 2. Could you share, the maximum frequency a customer should have the BR in-salon--treatment mentioned above? 3. Is it possible to over-treat hair with the Aveda Botanical Repair in-salon-treatment? 4. To treat high porosity, bleached, heat damaged hair; does the following regimen sound reasonable? Every two weeks: A) BR strengthening shampoo B) Nutriplenish (NP) conditioner- Deep C) In salon BR treatment Daily use of BR leave-in-conditioner and nutriplenish multi oil. Many thanks!

[@DeronEdward]

Hi MJ! First, no Botanical Repair does not contain any protein in any of the products, retail or professional. You can't over treat with Botanical Repair. I'm sure every 2 weeks is perfectly fine for a professional treatment, but you might do alright with every 4 weeks as well. And if I understand correctly, yes I would start with the BR Shampoo but using a conditioner like Nutriplenish before the professional treatment would make it less effective. I would follow the treatment with your hydrating products. For you daily, the leave-in and the oil is great, just apply the leave-in first :)

[@MJ-ty3mn]

Hey@@DeronEdward ! Thank you so much, you have saved me from wasting a lot of time and a lot of money! Going forward, I think I'll use my nutriplenish (NP) conditioner as a co-wash and only use it with other NP products. I'll reserve the Botanical Repair (BR) in- salon-treatment for days where I exclusively use just BR product So likely to have a regimen of 2x per month NP and 2x per month BR. Thank you so much, your advice and guidance is invaluable 🙏

[@DeronEdward]

It’s my pleasure 😊😊

Nice video. You get right to the point and present concise information. Is it possible to make an appointment with an Aveda stylist just for a hair evaluation? I don’t want a cut just advice on products based on my hair condition.

Thanks Gary! And absolutely, you can go into a salon or an experience center and ask for a product consultation!

Thank you for this amazing explanation! I have coarse (“horse-y” beach wavy, highlighted hair. I’ve been using Botanical Repair shampoo/conditioner, Nutriplenish leave in, mouse, and a combination of a serum and anti-humectant pomade. I bought the travel size of the bond builder and am wondering where it fits into this regimen? If you have other suggestions I’d love to hear them!

[@DeronEdward]

I’m so glad you found it helpful! I love the bond building cream, I would add that after your nutriplenish leave in. It does offer some smoothing, you might find you don’t need as much of the serum and pomade but you’ll have to test it out 😁 let me know how it goes!

[@trishaquino3102]

Hi Deron! I do have a fabulous hairdresser who worked for Aveda for many years. She is Nanci Lee Randolph and is in West Hollywood but I still love information gathering on my own... just because I love all things health and beauty! Your videos are fantastic! I love how funny and informative you are! I have been using Aveda since I was 22 years old and Horst still owned it. I love Damage Remedy and Nutriplenish. I do need the moisture but I also have fine hair but lots of it. I haven't tried the Botanical Repair yet but am thinking that it might be good for a once or twice a month treatment. I am thinking I will use the Nutriplenish leave-in conditioner afterwards and am hoping that that will be fine. I will definitely discuss with Nanci next time I see her. Just FYI, I have actually been using a small amount of the Daily Leave-In Treatment then spritzing three pumps of the Leave-In Conditioner and blending them in my hands. The cream is so heavy and thinning it out with the spray-in condition thins it out, making it so much easier to apply and it offers just that little bit of a bump up in hydration and my hair is soooo happy! I have lots of wave and no dryness whatsoever! Love it! Thanks for all the great info and great energy! Are you in Illinois?

[@DeronEdward]

Hi Trish! Thank you for sharing your Aveda story and for the kind words! I’m so glad you are enjoying the nutriplenish line, I love your hack for mixing the leave in with the daily treatment 😊 If you are going to incorporate Botanical Repair I would suggest one of the masks, the new overnight serum might also be a great option. I worked in Chicago for 12 years but I’m now back in Michigan teaching at an Aveda Institute 😊

Hi, can you please advise me (50 yrs). I have blond, frizzy, curly hair. Very dry. My hair is very different (uncombable hair syndrome). I have used Damage Remedy for years, now I have used the Curly line shampoo and conditioner for the last year. Love and always need the Curl enhancer. But I feel the curly shampoo and conditioner are not enough. I want to choose between Nurtiplenish or Botanical. Or go back to Damage remedy. I get highlights about once every 8 to10 months. I wash once a week and only comb then.

[@DeronEdward]

Hello! Its a tough call without seeing and feeling your hair myself, but my best guess is to go with Nutriplenish Deep Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner, and using the Nutriplenish Daily Moisture Treatment (Aveda's best detangler) before you apply the Curl Enhancer, rather than Botanical Repair. If you are only highlighting once a year you might not be getting the full benefit from Botanical Repair, and curls tend to love Nutriplenish.
