Aveda's new Botanical Repair line — a range of products aimed at repairing damaged, stressed-out hair — took six years to develop. "We were so committed to delivering the strongest-possible benefit using ingredients from nature," Camille Sasik, Aveda's director of hair care research and development explains via press release. "The result is a 93-percent naturally derived collection with powerful plant technologies such as sacha inchi, avocado, and green tea." Additionally, the brand created a proprietary plant-based, bond-building complex that helps strengthen your hair by multiplying the internal bonds in the cortex (e.g., the inner core) of each strand. It also treats the surface of your strands by smoothing the outer cuticle and detangling.
The must-try product in the range is the Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening Leave-In Treatment (£28), which features a concentrated amount of the bond-multiplying ingredients to really help strengthen your hair, repair some of the existing damage, and protect strands from external stressors like heat products and the sun (thereby preventing future damage). Use it once a week and you might even notice you'll be able to go longer between salon appointments.
