Transform Your Hair in Seconds: Aveda's Botanical Repair™ Bond-Building Flash Treatment

Introducing a breakthrough in haircare technology from Aveda: the Botanical Repair™ Bond-Building Flash Treatment. This innovative treatment is a leap forward in achieving healthier, shinier, and smoother hair, leveraging the power of botanical science to deliver remarkable results in just 10 seconds.

The Science of Strength and Shine

At the heart of this treatment is a corn-derived sugar molecule, a marvel of botanical science, which penetrates deep into the hair cortex to forge thousands of new bonds. This molecular reinforcement dramatically strengthens the hair from within, ensuring enhanced integrity and resilience against breakage.

Botanical Brilliance for Every Strand

Infused with a nourishing macro green blend of certified organic avocado, green tea, and sacha inchi seed oils, the treatment works to seal the cuticle, smoothing out frayed layers and locking in essential lipids. This not only detangles and prevents breakage but also significantly reduces frizz and flyaways, making hair more manageable.

Luminous Results

What sets this treatment apart is its unparalleled ability to boost hair's shine. Vegan lactic acid gently resurfaces the cuticle, laying the foundation for flawless smoothness, while positively charged lamellar structures cling to damaged areas, creating a lightweight veil that reflects light beautifully. The result is hair that is not just two times smoother but also two times shinier after just one use.

Simplicity in Use

Designed for all hair types and textures, and safe for color-treated and chemically processed hair, incorporating this treatment into your routine is effortless. Simply apply after shampooing and conditioning, leave on for 10 seconds, and rinse thoroughly to unlock a transformation that's both instant and profound.

Commitment to Sustainability

True to Aveda's ethos, the Botanical Repair™ Bond-Building Flash Treatment is 98% naturally derived, vegan, and cruelty-free, packaged in bottles made with a minimum of 90% post-consumer recycled materials. It's an investment in your hair's health that also respects the planet.

Experience the Difference

We invite you to discover the transformative power of Aveda's Botanical Repair™ Bond-Building Flash Treatment. Whether you're looking to repair damaged hair, add a luminous shine, or simply enjoy healthier locks, this scientifically advanced treatment offers a quick, effective solution that fits seamlessly into any haircare routine. Join us in embracing the fusion of nature and science for hair that not only looks and feels better but is genuinely healthier.

Exploring the Depths of Aveda's Hair Color Spectrum at Chroma Salon: The Art of Toners and Glossing

At Chroma Salon, we pride ourselves on offering a comprehensive hair coloring experience with Aveda's professional range. Beyond basic coloring, the art of toning and glossing plays a crucial role in achieving the perfect hair color. In this post, we'll delve into how Aveda's toners and glossing services can elevate your hair color experience.

1. Understanding Toners and Glossing:

Toners and glossing treatments are essential steps in the hair coloring process, often the unsung heroes that perfect the final look.

• Toners: These are used to refine the hair color, neutralize unwanted tones, and add subtle nuances. Aveda's color line includes toners that work harmoniously with their coloring agents to achieve the desired shade and vibrancy​​.

• Glossing Services: Glossing adds shine and intensity to the hair. Aveda's glossing treatments enhance the hair's natural color or boost the vibrancy of colored hair. They also help in blending grey hair and refreshing color​​.

2. The Role of Toners in Hair Coloring:

Toners are particularly important in balancing and maintaining the integrity of the hair color.

• Balancing Color: After lightening the hair, toners help achieve the exact shade you desire, whether it's a cool blonde, a warm brunette, or any shade in between.

• Longevity of Color: By helping to seal the hair cuticle, toners extend the life of your hair color, ensuring it fades on tone and remains vibrant for longer​​.

3. Glossing: More Than Just Shine:

Glossing treatments at Chroma Salon go beyond adding a reflective shine to your hair.

• Color Enhancement: Glossing can intensify the depth and richness of your hair color, adding dimensions that weren't previously visible.

• Hair Health: Along with enhancing the visual appeal, glossing treatments also condition the hair, contributing to overall hair health and manageability.

4. Aveda's Approach to Toners and Glossing:

Aveda's toners and glossing services are designed with the same commitment to hair health and environmental responsibility as their coloring products.

• Plant-Derived Ingredients: Aveda's formulations, including toners and glosses, use plant-derived ingredients that are gentle on the hair and scalp​​.

• Sustainable Beauty: Continuing their commitment to sustainability, Aveda's toning and glossing products are produced with eco-friendly practices​​.

5. Customized Toning and Glossing at Chroma Salon:

Our expert stylists at Chroma Salon are adept at using Aveda's toners and glossing treatments to customize and perfect every color service. Whether you're looking for a subtle tone adjustment or a dramatic change, we have the tools and expertise to achieve your desired results.

Toners and glossing services are integral to achieving the perfect hair color, and at Chroma Salon, we utilize Aveda's superior range to ensure every client leaves with their ideal shade and shine. Book your next hair color appointment with us and experience the transformative power of Aveda's toners and glossing treatments!

• Scalp Massage Techniques: Your stylist will perform various scalp massage techniques,such as slow, focused pressure for dry scalp or light, fast pressing for oily scalp. These massages help stimulate microcirculation and aid in product distribution.

• Serum: Depending on your scalp concerns, your stylist will apply a professional serum. A hydrating serum will be used to improve scalp hydration for those with normal to dry scalp types. A purifying serum will be used to help control sebum and cool the scalp for those with normal to oily scalp types. The stylist will apply the Scalp Solutions Professional Hydrating Scalp Serum to your scalp, sectioning your hair and using two droppers along each parting. This serum provides deep hydration and nourishment to your scalp.

• Closing Movement: To complete the treatment, the stylist will slide their palms and fingers from your front hairline to the crown, ensuring the serum is evenly distributed. They may also provide guidance on incorporating Aveda's scalp and hair care products into your daily routine.

Introducing Color Control Leave-In Treatment: Preserve Your Vibrant Hair Color

Water, heat, sun... These three factors can all contribute to hair color fading. But fear not! We have the perfect solution to help you maintain your vibrant hair color. Introducing Color Control Leave-In Treatment, the latest innovation from Aveda.

What exactly are Color Control Leave-In Treatments? They are conditioning leave-in treatment products available in both a light and rich formula, specially formulated with plant-powered, color-protection technology. These treatments work by creating an invisible, lightweight seal on the hair cuticle, which lasts until the next wash. This seal helps prevent color molecules from escaping, keeping your tones vibrant and color-true wash after wash. With Color Control Leave-In Treatments, you can protect your hair color for up to 12 weeks or 36 washes. Say goodbye to premature color fading!

One of the key benefits of Color Control Leave-In Treatments is their ability to defend against the main causes of color fading. They not only protect your hair from thermal damage up to 450 degrees, which can impact color radiance, but they also contain natural UV filters that shield your hair from the drying effects of the sun. This means you can enjoy your time outdoors without compromising the vibrancy of your color-treated hair.

Now, let's talk about the two variations of Color Control Leave-In Treatments. The Light formula is specially designed for all hair textures, from fine to medium, and is perfect for those with color-treated hair. On the other hand, the Rich formula is tailored for medium to thick hair textures, ensuring that everyone can benefit from its color-preserving qualities.

Using Color Control Leave-In Treatment is easy. After washing your hair, simply apply it to damp hair and leave it in. There's no need to rinse it out. Then, style your hair as usual, knowing that your color is protected and your hair is receiving the nourishment it deserves.

Not only does Color Control Leave-In Treatment protect your color, but it also offers other fantastic benefits. This conditioning leave-in treatment instantly detangles your hair, leaving it silky, soft, and smooth. It provides superior conditioning and softness without weighing down your hair or relying on silicones.

The formulation of Color Control Leave-In Treatment showcases Aveda's commitment to using natural ingredients. It is 98% naturally derived and free from silicones, making it a vegan and cruelty-free choice. Let's take a closer look at some of the functional botanicals that make this treatment exceptional:

• The formula creates an invisible, lightweight seal on the hair cuticle, ensuring that color molecules stay in place and your tones remain vibrant.

• Natural UV filters derived from sand ginger protect your hair from the sun's drying effects, maintaining its health and shine.

• Certified organic apricot seed oil, rich in omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids, deeply conditions your hair, keeping it soft, bouncy, and hydrated.

• Certified organic avocado oil smoothes the cuticle, making detangling a breeze.

• Arginine, a biofermented amino acid, and lactic acid biofermented from sugar beets seal and smooth the cuticle, providing incredible shine from roots to ends.

With Color Control Leave-In Treatment, you can confidently embrace your vibrant hair color and enjoy its long-lasting beauty. Remember, the secret to preserving your hair color starts with Color Control Leave-In Treatment.

So how does it work? The Botanical Repair™ Leave-In Treatment creates new bonds by the thousands, strengthening the hair's cortex, and prevents and protects from damage with its plant-derived components. These include:

• Nourishing macro green blend: This blend replenishes the essentials of healthy-looking hair with certified organic avocado, green tea, and sacha inchi oils. It smooths the cuticle to detangle and helps prevent breakage.
