Aveda: high performance premium hair care range

Some of you may have read my brief impression of some of the hair products in Urban last Friday and may be curious as to how the products stack up against one another. Hence, I thought I’ll share a more detailed review of some of my favorites. I’ll kick start with a review of the shampoos and conditioners I’ve used under the Aveda range because I already received some questions pertaining to them.

Are your shampoos & conditioners silicone-free?

Hello VivaBellas! If you’re able to get hold of your shampoo and conditioner now, can you run a quick scan to check if there are any silicones in the product? The name or names you should look for are Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, and Phenyl Trimethicone, which are common silicone-based ingredients in hair care products. Most silicone variants feature “-methicone” in their nomenclature although there are also other less common variants, such as those listed here.

Hair pampering at Phyto Hair Spa in Wheelock

Some of you would have read of how I used to suffer from a lower self-esteem because of the state of my hair. So hair treatments are not new to me but this is the first time I visited a hair spa. While I’m familiar with Phyto for their retail products, I have no idea that they also offer specialized and exclusive hair treatment services over at Phyto Hair Spa by Revamp in Wheelock. In fact, I later learnt that this is the first exclusive Phyto hair spa in Asia.
