April 22nd is Earth Day. AVEDA has launched an interesting project on that occasion. Skip a hair wash day to save an average of 6 gallons of water per person! «The Power of Every Drop» campaign in collaboration with @charitywater presents a limited-edition Botanical Repair™ Strengthening Overnight Serum bottle with artwork inspired by the Yoruba heritage of Nigerian Visual Artist Laolu Senbanjo @laolunyc.

AVEDA will donate CHF 20 from every purchase of this exclusive bottle (CHF 56) to long-time partner charity: water to fund clean water projects around the globe because access to clean water creates a ripple effect of better health, education, and opportunities. One family will have access to clean water for 8 months with the purchase of one bottle from April 1, 2024.

703 million people in the world don’t have access to clean and safe water. Every drop makes a difference. Over 700 million people live without access to safe drinking water. Your support helps change that. Help AVEDA spread awareness for the clean water crisis by posting your no-wash style using #NoWashDay #AvedaNoWashChallenge – when we come together, small actions make a powerful impact.

More Style, Less Water

When AVEDA sent me some products and asked me to join their campaign to not wash my hair for one week, I was smiling. This is an easy task for me as I wash my hair only once a week in general. To keep it long and healthy, that is the first step. You can train your scalp to not produce so much oil with time. I never have greasy hair. I plan my gym classes in which I sweat towards the last days of my cycle and make only exceptions when I am at the beach. I style it after washing with my DYSON Airwrap™ and use my heatless curl headband during the week.

I kindly ask you to try it for yourself. You can extend time between washes with these Aveda haircare products, to keep your hair feeling and looking fresher for longer.

Botanical Repair™ Strengthening Overnight Serum
It builds bonds, while repairing three layers of hair and reducing the appearance of split ends. I use it almost every night as it adds a nice texture to my hair.

Scalp Solutions Refreshing Protective Mist
This refreshing mist provides all-day antioxidant protection and helps control excess oil for 48 hours.

Shampowder™ Dry Shampoo
Conquer second day hairstyles with this dry shampoo. Perfect for absorbing excess oil, impurities and sweat with powerful plant powders, this dry shampoo powder instantly adds volume and texture to refresh style. I love to use it to add volume to my roots after washing.

LoL, Sandra

I have very wavy hair, my daughter has curls and we have both dreamed of a straight, smooth mane forever. Therefore, we were both curious to try the Dyson Corrale hair straightener and finally our dream has come true… the results were fantastic.

Anouk and I before and after. Great side effect: We didn’t know we had such long hair!

First of all, we all know that heat styling can cause insane damage to your hair. That being said, I’d ideally like not to destroy my hair, which is why I was so intrigued by the Dyson Corrale. It is the only hair straightener with flexing plates that shape and gather hair. Therefore you can use only one hand when working on your hair. The patented plate design is engineered to deliver the same desired style with less reliance on heat, resulting in 50% less hair damage.

The Dyson Corrale is such a practical tool that saves you time for other things to do.

Furthermore, the intelligent heat control system regulates the temperature of the plates 100 times a second. The best is yet to come, and this is my favorite thing about the Dyson Corrale. You can style wherever you are, anywhere, at any time as it can be used cord-free. How cool is this?! It offers up to 30 minutes cord-free styling with the thermal performance of a corded straightener and is fully recharged in only 70 minutes. Although the Dyson Corrale allows heat settings up to 210°C, you can achieve perfect results with only 165°C, which means also less hair damage.

It comes with a travel case, charging dock, and a charging cable that plugs in to either the dock or the straightener directly. When you fly, pull out the flight-ready tag to disconnect the battery.

Aside from my personal experience, I’ve also seen insanely good results all over my Insta feed. Furthermore, I also know that Dyson puts a lot of research into their products. The new cordless flat iron leaves you with glossy shine and perfectly straight hair, all for a cool investment of CHF 549.00, which is quite a lot but absolutely worth it.

The new additions to the Dyson Airwrap styler complement my hair routine perfectly. Even if you work on low heat of 165°C, never forget to put heat protection. I love heat relief by Aveda.

Besides being a great hair straightener, the Dyson Corrale also works to create curls and waves while reducing heat-styling damage. On the Dyson website, you can find some great tutorials. Personally speaking, I prefer doing those styles with my Dyson Airwrap styler and the newest 20mm barrels and volume brush. Those new additions are perfect for my fine hair. Bye-bye damaged, stressed-out hair!

LoL, Sandra
