I bought the cherry almond shampoo and conditioner set with a body lotion for £19.60. It smells a bit like the old Vidal Sassoon shampoo we all loved in the 80’s.

They’ve got a sap moss set, Rosemary mint & shampure.

Thanks! Just worked for me on an order for shampoo. Smile I needed some but was hesitating over LookFantastic and their delivery fee and am glad I waited now.

I usually use John Lewis but it’s free postage on aveda & you get samples which usually turn out to be really good so you buy more 😭 which is what they want you to do.

I know, it’s so pricey but I’ve never found anything like it AND it’s cruelty free AND they use recycled plastic.

I was delighted with the samples because I got some of the shampoo and conditioner (the cherry one) I'd been wanting to try for a while but didn't want to get a whole bottle of in case I hated it. Win!
Aveda shampoo is my guilty pleasure as it is so high quality, luckily it lasts a fair while... Grin

Ooh thank you! I was planning to stock up soon anyway but this is great x

MsRinky · 08/01/2021 18:03

Ooh, thank you, have just stocked up.

BlueSussex · 08/01/2021 18:19

Thanks!

DD (23) has been losing her hair since losing a lot of weight quickly so I ordered her a good conditioner and an alternative as a sample. Free delivery too Grin

I daren't get into the cherry and almond - I loved the VS one back in the day. Does it really smell similar? So tempting.......

MassDebate · 08/01/2021 18:21

Thanks - I love the cherry almond!

Similar but with added cherry coke scent is the best way I can describe it.

Thank you! I've just gone for the cherry almond trio plus a botanicals shampoo sample with free delivery and all for £19!
I didn't strictly need it, but it is lovely and I'm not sorry!Grin

500BusStops · 08/01/2021 22:11

Thank you for this! I got the Shampure set which I've been wanting to try for ages Smile

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 08/01/2021 22:29

Thank you. I got a gift set for dd and hand cream for me.

Does it really make your hair look any different to all the shampoos you can buy in Boots and supermarkets?

Yes. It is unfortunately effective. I say unfortunately because it’s so bloody expensive.

It lasts though, I bought a smooth control glossing straightener which was £20 as a heat protecter & it lasted a good 5 years using it every other day.

Probably not, it doesn't have magical ingredients (wish it did!) but what I do find when using an expensive shampoo/conditioner rather than a cheap one, it helps my box colour last longer. The scent is lovely too and sulfate(?) content is low so less stripping of colour and I find they nourish more. In the old days (BC-before child) I used to use Philip B and that was up to £40 for a shampoo! Mad really and for me, I couldn't tell the added benefit of a £40 shampoo vs a £10 or £15 one.

Any recommendations please for fine hair to add volume but not weigh it down?

Shampoo, conditioner, serum, anything really?!

I’ve had 5 years off using it and my hair did suffer. Then covid came and I had to wash my hair daily after work & that just finished me off combined with no hair cut since jan 2020.

So I’m back on it & it is improved. I’ll be going to an aveda salon when it’s safe again and I’ll be paying for a deep conditioner treatment while I’m there too.

I've just bought a set plus curl stuff....I've got curly hair which is suffering so much from the cold and not having a proper cut in months...hoping it helps! Really can't afford it, but a little treat for teaching from home and managing 2 primary kids by myself...
I got a code, not sure if it's any use, you get a product worth £9 but do do I.

And then I was in M&S and there was an aveda gift box with a 4 travel size items reduced to £10

scrivette · 09/01/2021 23:25

Thank you, I have just got some cleanser to go with the moisturising cream I am using, it's really lovely.

The aveda litres are cheap on M&S at the moment too for some reason.

Thanks for this, I've just gone for the Shampure set and the holiday one with protection spray and paddle brush. Both for £34 so am well pleased.
