Do Aveda products contain parabens or Sodium Lauryl Sulfates?
|
Date : 8/12/2009
|
|
|
No. Say goodbye to parabens — a toxic preservative that is most commonly placed in cosmetics, hair products, and foods. Aveda produces over 480 paraben-free products for a healthier you. To save you a glance at the ingredient label, Aveda does not offer products with Sodium Lauryl Sulfates, either.

I’m a man and I’ve never had my hair cut at a professional salon. What do I need to know?
|

Remember that communication with your stylist is key to getting your ideal hair cut. If it helps, bring a picture of someone who has the style you want to imitate. Don’t forget to consider your lifestyle. Do you style your hair every day with product or simply with a towel rub? The cut you get depends on how much time you have to style your hair.

Why is my hair damaged, dry, and frizzy?
|
Date : 8/12/2009
|
|
|
If you hair lacks life, it might be suffering from too much chemical processing, the effects of chlorinated water, sun damage, and heat damage from styling. You know your hair is dry if you press it between your fingers and it makes a crunching sound. Other factors include your diet. Brittle hair can indicate poor health, especially since hair gets the last of nutrients fed to the body.

Why does my hair get greasy?
|
Date : 8/12/2009
|
|
|
An overproduction of sebum makes your hair look greasy and feel sticky. Your body naturally produces sebum, which makes your hair soft. Some people produce more than others. But other factors include too much conditioning, stress, overuse of hair products, and hormone changes.

Why should I get my eyebrows waxed?
|
Date : 10/5/2009
|
|
|
Getting your eyebrows waxed professionally is more effective than plucking them at home. A professional wax gives your brows clean lines and better shapes that you might not achieve through plucking or waxing yourself.

How do I know what type of haircut complements my face?
|
Date : 8/12/2009
|
|
|
Your face is one of four face shapes: round, square, oval, heart. If you have a round face, a short, layered cut (like a pixie cut), would best suit you. If your face is square shaped, you can pull off a short style particularly above your chin. Oval faces are long, so you want to avoid long, straight hairstyles with a part in the middle. Try a medium length style with layers. Lastly, a number of styles complement heart-shaped faces, including chunky layers that can be flipped out.

Do I need to protect my hair from the sun?
|
Date : 8/12/2009
|
|
|
Sun-kissed hair is trendy, but it can be a menace. Out in the sun often? Put on a hat because too much sun exposure can make your hair dry and fade the color.

What can I expect from a normal facial treatment?
|
Date : 12/1/2009
|
|
|
Facials serve more than pampering purposes — they are diagnostic and treatment processes. Your aesthetician should have a mini-consultation with you before your facial treatment, which includes his/her analysis of your skin type. Your face will be cleansed, exfoliated, and massaged to stimulate blood circulation. After your pores are extracted, a mask is applied and is often followed by another mask.
