Never tried the Avenda lineup before? Here are a few of my favorites:


Blue Malva Shampoo 
Blue Malva Shampoo will surprise you with it’s vibrant violet color, and is perfect for blonde or grey/white hair colors. It neutralizes brassy tones to keep you bright.



Confixor Gel 

Confixor gel is my go-to product that I mix in with nearly every style on my clients. It adds shine and a medium hold without being crunchy. 

Brilliant Damage Control
Spray this on wet hair before blow drying to protect against heat, UV rays and breakage. Plus, it smells amazing.
