Black Is The New Black

I've got quite greasy hair and therefore wash it every single day, without fail. I know, it's a bad habit and only perpetuates the need to wash it, but there's no way I'm leaving the house with my fringe stuck to my forehead like I've been hanging over a chip pan for for hours.

Every day the routine's the same: two healthy plunges of Black Malva shampoo followed by a pea sized dollop of Black Malva conditioner. In fact, I was trying to remember what my hair, and by association, my life, was like before the use of Aveda hair products. I adore these two beauty products even though they cost around £40 for a set of bottles. Then I did some maths (in my head!) and realised that the last bottle of shampoo I bought was over 3 months ago and there's still a good 1/4 bottle left.

The conditioner? Well, it's almost done, but, the last time I bought a tube was, wait for it... last November! That's 9 whole months ago! Now for the calculator:

£18 / 9 months = £2 a month
£2 / 30 days = 6.5p per day

That's value for money! Not to mention that the black tea ingredient helps keep my hair nice and dark so I don't have to dye it as often.

Aveda also supports sustainable and organic agriculture and encourages economic independence.

What does everyone else use? Any good beauty product tips?
