Aveeno Pure Renewal Collection for Earth Day hair care

Hello Purty!
 Earth Day fun continues with Aveeno Pure Renewal collection!
Oh the fun of trying a new product! This new line is fresh scented with great lather. I loved the shampoo and conditioner but the 2 in 1 left me a wee bit heavy in the hair.

I have wavy textured hair and it's only wavy in parts-so the 2 in 1 Pure Renewal shampoo and conditioner might be best suited for someone with normal straight hair.

The Aveeno Pure Renewal collection also has a dry shampoo and is available at Target for under $10, actually closer to $6!

Shampoo:

Effectively removes impurities and is sulfate free.

This shampoo will renew your hair to its naturally healthy, most balanced state with each wash. Infused with the power of balancing ACTIVE NATURALS® Seaweed Extract and naturally derived cleansers, this formula with sulfate-free technology works to lift away impurities without overstripping, helping to rebalance hair's optimal moisture levels, leaving it shiny, healthier looking, and full of life. Safe for color-treated hair. 

 

Conditioner:

Effectively removes impurities and is sulfate free.

This conditioner will renew your hair to its naturally healthy, most balanced state with each use. Infused with the power of balancing ACTIVE NATURALS® Seaweed Extract, this lightweight conditioner moisturizes and softens without weighing hair down while rebalancing hair's optimal moisture levels, leaving it silky, healthier looking and more manageable for styling. Safe for color-treated hair.

 

This dry shampoo refreshes your hair without water for a clean, healthy look between washes. This exclusive formula is infused with balancing ACTIVE NATURALS® Seaweed Extract to instantly revive hair for healthy manageability. The formula is sulfate free and designed to remove excess oil and impurities to help boost volume. Developed by our expert team of scientists and eco-friendly celebrity hairstylist, Patrick Melville.

No, we'd never disapprove of a CoverGirl concealer or Rimmel mascara, but every now and then it's fun to embrace your inner hipster and get in on something others have yet to discover. Consider this one of those times. See products
