Isn’t it Murphy’s Law that after days in the surf, sun and chlorine and nights straightening our hair into party-ready perfection that we’re teased by the glossy locks on the red carpet?
RESCU’s Founder and Editor Bahar Etminan road tested the best antidote to the Australian summer — Aveda’s Dry Remedy™ range. Consider it a tall drink of water for your parched locks.
Our hair’s hero in the range is the Dry Remedy™ Daily Moisturizing Oil, a handbag must-have that uses buriti oil, an ingredient sourced from the fruit of the Moriche Palm in Brazil, to hydrate the hair on-the-go. We love that this 99.9% naturally derived leave-in oil delivers both instant gratification in the form of smoother, shinier hair, and long-term benefits including hydration and repair.
The treatment oil is free from silicone, and has a slightly different feel to what you may be used to. Aveda’s Global Artistic Director for Textured Hair, Tippi Shorter, explains, “In my experience, silicone-based products can sit on the hair and weigh it down. They can also be sticky and attract dirt… Buriti oil provides an instant luxe feeling on the hair. It’s lightweight so it doesn’t weigh hair down.”

Rescu. Editor Roadtest: The complete range features the Dry Remedy™ Moisturizing Masque, and an excellent shampoo and conditioner all of which feature the Deep-Moisture Complex to round out the ritual and ensure your hair is getting the hydration it needs every step of the way.
After a three-week summer holiday, our coloured tresses had lost none of their luster and we kept split ends at bay. Summer success!
