The best Aveda hair care products are those that improve the hair's overall quality and strength in addition to adding gloss and bounce. Both botanical repair™ intensive strengthening masque: light and botanical repair™ intensive strengthening masque: rich strengthen and repair hair from the inside out, leaving it looking healthy, shiny and feeling soft. Neither product contains silicone, parabens, or mineral oil.

Aveda also offers hair treatment products to add to your routine, like nutriplenish™ leave-in conditioner a lightweight detangling leave-in spray that protects hair against the drying effects of the sun and helps protect hair from heat damage.

In recent years, there's been a spotlight on the correct order you're supposed to use skin care products, but have you considered the order of hair care products? Below are the recommended guidelines:

• Begin by shampooing your hair. If you experience dry ends and dull-looking hair, try nutriplenish™ deep moisture, which is made using a vegan blend of superfoods, plant butters and oils.
• Apply conditioner and rinse.
• If you struggle with split ends or damage from styling or coloring, you may want to use a hair mask in place of your conditioner. Check out the botanical repair™ rich strengthening set, which includes a strengthening mask that works to instantly rejuvenate the look of damaged hair.
• Once hair is rinsed clean and toweled dry, work in any leave-in treatments.
• Apply heat protectant if you use a hair dryer, curling iron, or flat iron.
• Plump hair up with mousse or volumizing spray if desired.
• Smooth down flyaway hairs and add shine with hair serum.
• Lock in your style with hair spray. Enjoy your day!

If you're wondering how to find the best hair products for you, here’s what to know. First, you'll need to determine which hair type you have: straight, wavy, curly, or coils. Straight hair may be coarse or fine, but the strands are 100% straight with no wave at all. Wavy hair is usually straight until around eye level, then becomes an S-shaped wave. Curl shapes can vary, but the curl is more defined than a wave; they can range from loose loops to springy ringlets. Coils spring from the roots, looping together.

Once you’ve established your unique hair type, consider your specific hair concerns, and select products that are formulated to address these concerns. If you're unsure where to start, take Aveda's hair quiz and answer a series of questions to help us curate a tailored routine for you.

Between heat treatments, styling, air pollution, and life in general, many people wonder, “What are the best ways of keeping my hair healthy? Here are some top tips:

• Make sure you're practicing self-care; establishing a hair care routine can be a simple way to give yourself some love each day.
• Break free from the tradition of just using shampoo and conditioner if your hair requires extra care. You may want to consider layering products, like leave-in conditioner, serum, and styling cream, to help build protection against the elements and daily wear and tear, while nourishing hair, fighting frizz and more.
• Be gentle! A major step in keeping your hair happy and healthy is treating it with care. Don’t yank through tangles; gently detangle with a comb or your fingers instead. Give hair a break from too-tight ponytails and swap your pillowcase for a satin one to lavish your hair with TLC as you sleep.
