Brass-be-gone!, November 6, 2010
This review is from: Aveda Black Malva Conditioner 8.5 Ounces (Health and Beauty)
I cannot say enough about this conditioner! After a horrid highlight job (not Aveda) and several attempted corrections, I had resigned myself to brassy orange hair (or hats) for several years until grown out. Then I came across reviews for Aveda products and thought, "that's a lot of $, but people say it works," so... here I am two weeks later with nary a touch of brass and GLORIOUS brown hair returned! An added bonus: the roots blend, so I don't have a grow-out line!
I use clove shampoo, followed by conditioning with a half-black malva, half-clove (to and add lighter brown tones) blend. I leave the conditioner on for about 5 minutes (the first time I used it, I left it on for 20min, fyi) before a quick rinse. My hair feels a bit stripped after the shampoo (and it rinses out some of the previous days color), but after conditioning my hair is super soft and silky, with amazing shine! It is definitely worth the extra $ to have a product that delivers such beautiful results!
Yes, it does stain, but isn't that the point?! If you give a quick scrub with soap followed by a rinse, this is not a problem. My hair is a medium ashy brown, which is why I lean towards the clove products and then add the black malva. On light hair I'd mix the teeniest bit with another conditioner before trying this straight. It is dark.
I bought mine on Aveda's website.

for those of you who do not want the "boot black" look of a permanent dye and to take the red out of dark hair - terrific

LIVES UP TO THE HYPE, January 7, 2009
This review is from: Aveda Black Malva Conditioner 8.5 Ounces (Health and Beauty)
I did a good deal of research before buying this product. It lives up to the promise of keeping your hair color fresh (soft and shiny). I also bought Brilliant to use on the other days, and that, too, works wonders.
I will only buy Aveda products from now on!
