Harsh winter weather combined with forced indoor heat can cause luscious locks to quickly turn dry, brittle and blah. So we were excited to try Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening Leave-In Treatment. It provides a no-fuss, overnight remedy to revive hair and build bonds with natural oils. It is especially effective on delicate hair ends.

Aveda Botanical Repair is excellent for delicate and brittle hair strands
What It Is
It is an overnight bond builder hair serum that did not leave my hair sticky or greasy
Why It Is Special
Unlike many bond builders, it is free from silicones, parabens, mineral oil, petrolatum, paraffin, and formaldehyde.
It is a small package, but you only need to use the tiniest amount for full-size product level results.

Using Avo in a formulation imparts the benefits of avocado oil without the heavy oil feel.

The Experience
CONSISTENCY
A lightweight consistency similar to a finishing cream. I did not find it at all greasy, especially for a product with multiple heavy oils.
SCENT
There is a faint nutty scent in the tube but I do not find it detectible upon application.
APPLICATION
TIP: Apply sparingly – think lima bean, not grape size dollop for long hair, pea size dollop for short. In a pinch, it doubles as a hair smoother.
It comes is a smaller sample size to try before a bigger investment. It says it is intended to be used as part of the Aveda Botanical Repair system, but also functions as a nice go-to smoother that fits into your bag for a quick frizzy hair fix.
