I have been using Aveeno products since I was a baby and suffered from eczema. I used to take oatmeal baths with their products! As an adult, I have used their face lotions and sunscreen products and have been very pleased with them. I have never tried any of their hair care products, though.

Until now!

Aveeno has come out with an entire line of products called Nourish, and while I’ve only been using the products for a few days now, I can already tell a noticeable difference with my hair.

The last time I visited a hair stylist, she told me that I had coarse hair that needed some pretty serious moisturizing products to help it be more manageable. She said that was part of the reason why my hair was also on the frizzy side…it was parched! Naturally she had some quite expensive products on her shelf that she was more than happy to recommend to me. She used them on me during my visit, and yes, they worked, but I passed. It was all I could do to afford the haircut, folks!

I honestly feel as though this line from Aveeno is giving me the same results I experienced at the salon, but for a fraction of the cost. While they are still on the pricey side for me (hey, I’m cheap) I would definitely buy these again if I found them on sale and/or had a coupon. The products I used are the Nourish + Moisturize shampoo and conditioner and the Nourish + Style Smoothing Shine Creme. They all worked beautifully together to give my hair a silky (but not weighed-down) feel and lots of great shine.

Before I wrap up the post, I wanted to leave you with a style tip for you from celebrity hair stylist Patric Melville, who is an Aveeno Hair Consultant. He taught me something about the right way to wash hair. Read on!

“Always prep your hairstyle with a proper wash. Remember to comb any tangles out before you wet it and use warm water to open the cuticles of the hair and to wash all the oil and dirt off. Then, you only need a dollop of shampoo to rub your hands together and apply to your scalp. Take note that you should put the shampoo on your scalp and not at the ends of your hair. Rinse your hair with cold water afterwards to close the cuticles and add to the shine of your hair.” I didn’t know this trick about cold water but I’m totally putting it to use now!

Buy it!: Aveeno Nourish products are available at stores nationwide and start around $6.50 each. They will be available in February 2010, so keep an eye out for them! And there’s a coupon available to print now, so don’t miss it!
