Aveda Invati Ultra Advanced Revitalizing Scalp Serum 150ml

I received this product complimentary from Influenster and Aveda in exchange for my honest review. **I was not obligated to post my review on Influenster** This was part of an Aveda Bundle: 1. Invati Ultra Advanced Exfoliating Shampoo 2. Invati Ultra Advanced Thickening Conditioner 3. Invati Ultra Advanced Revitalizing Scalp Serum 4. Invati Ultra Advanced Fortifying Leave-in Treatment 5. Invati Ultra Advanced Thickening Foam I'm a Licensed Cosmetologist, so I've used Aveda hair products for years! I was extremely excited to try the new Aveda Invati Ultra Advanced Collection!

A little about the product.... The Aveda Invati Ultra Advanced Collection was made to help people with hair loss and thinning hair due to breakage. The Invati Ultra Advanced 4-step System claims to reduce hair loss by 77%. And, each Aveda Invati product has a very high naturally derived percentage! **Aveda Invati Ultra Advanced Revitalizing Scalp Serum is made of 98% naturally derived ingredients. The Invati Revitalizing Scalp Serum is 100% Vegan, Leaping Bunny Certified, Silicone Free, Sulfate Free, Paraben-Free, Synthetic Fragrance Free, Mineral Oil Free, and Dermatologist Tested. My thoughts.... The Invati Revitalizing Scalp Serum is Step 3 of the 4-step Invati System. The Revitalizing Scalp Serum is a golden colored Scalp Serum that is applied only to the scalp and then is massaged into the scalp. It contains Aveda's Follicle Vitality Complex which contains ginger, turmeric, eclipta, and alpinia which helps to boost energy and protect follicles from external aggressors. I have extremely long hair and suffer from hair loss due to stress, medications, and breakage...so, I lose a a lot of hair strands when I wash my hair. The Invati Revitalizing Scalp Serum has helped to protect my hair follicles and has made a healthy environment for my hair follicles. Once massaged into my scalp, this Scalp Serum does not make my Scalp or roots sticky at all and it does not weigh down my hair. It's completely weightless! And, it just feels really nice on my scalp! After using the Invati Revitalizing Scalp Serum for a few weeks, my scalp and my hair seem so much happier! My hair has beautiful shine, volume, and bounce! And, my scalp feels refreshed! The Invati Ultra Advanced Revitalizing Scalp Serum has the same light, clean, calming and refreshing scent as the rest of the Invati Ultra Advanced Collection. And, because there are no synthetic fragrances, I think this would be a great option for people who are sensitive to fragrance! The Revitalizing Scalp Serum is such an important step in having healthy hair and a healthy scalp! Most of people forget to take care of their scalp...but, the Aveda Invati Ultra Advanced Collection has made it so easy to take care of both my hair and scalp! I received a Mini Size of the Invati Revitalizing Scalp Serum, but I plan to buy a full size because I really think this product made a huge difference in my scalp, follicles, and hair! I want to see what this Scalp Serum can do with continuous use!

ALL the Things!!

Ok folks, this is a good one!! If your hair is lacking enthusiasm- you need to give this a try! I have fine, color-treated hair and use heat to style so my hair gets a little stressed out. It's important for me to use products that protect and revitalize my hair so it doesn't resemble a dying plant. The Inavati scalp serum, gifted by Aveda, has supercharged the health of my scalp, making it more balanced while deeply nourishing the follicles. My hair is noticeably fuller, softer and more manageable. I've also noticed a reduction in breakage which is a HUGE plus for me. I use it right out of the shower after I shampoo and condition and apply directly at the root, working in sections then gently massage into my scalp. It doesn't weigh down my hair and there's no left ... MoreOk folks, this is a good one!! If your hair is lacking enthusiasm- you need to give this a try!

They're well know for using the highest quality ingredients that are vegan and cruelty-free. If your hair is in need of some TLC or you want to maintain the current integrity of your hair, the little splurge on this scalp serum could make all the difference in the world!

Gentle and Effective

I received the invati ultra advanced™ revitalizing scalp serum complementary for my honest review. I have been struggling with hair thinning for over a year and have been looking for a system that would help with strengthen and improve loss. I was very excited to try this revitalizing scalp serum as it is marketed to help revitalize your scalp and keep it healthy for better growth. I really like the packaging of this product because the applicator allows you to directly use the product on your scalp. You use the pump per section of strand and gently massage into your scalp. It does have a slight tingling sensation but only lasts a few seconds. It does not have a strong scent which I appreciate because I have sensitive skin. This product is to be used in combination ... MoreI received the invati ultra advanced™ revitalizing scalp serum complementary for my honest review.

This product is to be used in combination with the entire system, which can be a downside if you were on a budget. It does say it takes 12 weeks of using the full system for you to achieve maximum benefit. I am currently on week two, but I have noticed healthier hair and scalp. I also appreciate the quality of the products and the more natural ingredients. It is free from a variety of parabens, which I try to avoid. If you also like more natural options, this would be a good system for you.

Great for bleached dry hair

The product was gifted to me by Aveda. I started putting it on overnight and washed my hair in the morning and noticed a difference in my scalp after just two uses. Although my scalp isn't patchy, it is quite dry, which leads to hair loss. I've used similar products before, but they only made my scalp even drier, and my roots suffered as well-a big problem for me since I lighten my hair. However, this product did not dry out my scalp or roots at all. The application was also much easier because the formula isn't drying, allowing me to massage it into my scalp, and it blended well. After the second use, my roots looked visibly healthier, and I experienced noticeably less hair loss. The smell is not heavy it is more on the herbal side not chemical at all so it didn't ... MoreThe product was gifted to me by Aveda.

The smell is not heavy it is more on the herbal side not chemical at all so it didn't bother me as a highly sensitive person when it comes to smells. After application my hair didn't look the cleanest but I may have applied a bit too much, it wasn't a problem for me though because I didn't keep it during the day. I think this is an excellent scalp treatment for bleached and dry hair like mine.

I Would Highly Recommend Anyone Try This

I received the Invati Ultra Advanced haircare bundle from Influenster and Aveda in exchange for my honest review. This bundle was by far my favorite that I have received so far. I got to try all 5 products in the set and received enough to last a whole month! It has a very nice and refreshing herbal scent. The shampoo leaves your hair and scalf feeling really clean and refreshed. The conditioner does an amazing job of detangling, smoothing and moisturizing. There is a leave in conditioner you can use. I did use it sometimes and sometimes did not to see the difference it makes. It actually adds to how long your hair stays smooth and frizz free. The scalp serum is something I loved! It left my scalp feeling tingly and fresh.

It left my scalp feeling tingly and fresh. And the mouse does a great job with naturally curly hair. Helped me tame my curls without weighing them down or being too stiff. Overall, I believe its worth the money and worth trying out. I noticed less breakage and less hair in the brush, plus overall thicker, stronger, shinier hair which is what everyone would strive to see. Take the plunge, get the whole set. It's absolutely worth every penny.

New hairs sprouting!!

I am really liking this Aveda Invanti Ultra Advanced Revitalizing Scalp Serum for my thinning hair! I've been applying it every day for the last week or so and I really do think I can see some new hairs sprouting in my part! I'm thrilled about it because I've tried so many things. I still need to try it a bit longer to be sure, but the ingredients are top notch for those with thinning hair. I've tried it both on damp and dry hair and don't really notice a difference so it's down to personal preference. I have been applying it more when my hair is wet so it's less noticeable. I can feel it in my hair somewhat, but other people say my hair doesn't look like it has product in it so that's amazing! I find it difficult to apply oils and serums that really weigh my hair ... MoreI am really liking this Aveda Invanti Ultra Advanced Revitalizing Scalp Serum for my thinning hair!

I find it difficult to apply oils and serums that really weigh my hair down or make it look greasy. A little of this goes a long way and it feels very refreshing! It does have a strong herbal and earthy scent to it, but it lessens as the day goes on. I really love the nozzle as it makes for easy application to the scalp. I highly recommend this product to anyone struggling with thinning hair. Gifted by Aveda in exchange for my honest review.

Not for fine hair

Influenster sent me the whole 5-piece Invati Ultra Advanced system to try out in exchange for a review which is amazing, but it makes it hard to review each of the five parts of the system individually since I switched from my typical routine to this five-piece system overnight and it's hard to know exactly which product is responsible for which results I saw... but I'll do my best! For the record I have a thick head of hair, but every strand is very fine.I did not like the Exfoliating Shampoo. The smell was amazing, as most Aveda products are, but it seemed harsh on my hair. I don't think my hair needed to be exfoliated... especially not multiple days in a row. When I rinsed the shampoo out, my hair felt rough--like dry and almost damaged.

I don't think my hair needed to be exfoliated... especially not multiple days in a row. When I rinsed the shampoo out, my hair felt rough--like dry and almost damaged. The Thickening Conditioner wasn't extraordinary in any way. It had a similar scent to the shampoo but less pronounced. It helped to soften my hair, but not enough to undo what the shampoo had just done. I don't know if the Scalp Serum did anything for me or not. It was hard to know how much to use and hard to know if I got it everywhere... if some areas got too much or too little. I did feel a little scalp tingling, but I didn't notice any difference in my scalp health over the last few days. The Leave-In Treatment... I don't really know what it did. I kept thinking I was getting too much because it was a thinner liquid than I was expecting, but then it just disappeared into my hair. It didn't make my hair greasy, but my hair also didn't feel soft or smooth, so like I said-I don't know what it did. Finally, the Styling Foam. I tend to have some body, so I'm not sure if it helped in that arena, but my hair was out of control on these days that I used these products. Whether I followed everything up with my typical blowdry, heat protectant, and flat iron or if I just pulled everything back into a sleek ponytail... it didn't make a difference. Somehow my hair was just coarse, stiff, and absolutely full of flyaways. Overall, I hate it.

Scalp stimulating!

Thank you so much, Influenster and Aveda, for sending a sample of the Invati Ultra Advanced Revitalizing Scalp Serum in exchange for an honest review. I was so excited to receive this sample of hair serum because I have been experiencing shedding and thinning of my hair. This hair serum is supposed to help prevent hair loss while stimulating your scalp for extra hair growth. After spraying it on my scalp, I can feel a slight tingle. I have used products like this before, but this one is my favorite. It does not burn or feel uncomfortable. It has a nice clean fragrance that doesn't irritate. Stimulating your scalp is very important for hair growth. I only received a sample of this product and haven't used it long enough to tell a difference in the growth of my hair, ... MoreThank you so much, Influenster and Aveda, for sending a sample of the Invati Ultra Advanced Revitalizing Scalp Serum in exchange for an honest review.

Stimulating your scalp is very important for hair growth. I only received a sample of this product and haven't used it long enough to tell a difference in the growth of my hair, but what I've experienced is very positive. I didn't notice any excessive shedding after using. My hair felt clean and full of volume. This does not make my hair feel greasy or sticky. My hair is prone to tangles, but this did not tangle my hair. My hair feels silky and conditioned without weighing it down or making it feel like straw or coarse. I plan on purchasing a full size in the future. I highly recommend it especially if you are experiencing hair shedding and thinning.

Smells INCREDIBLE

The box describes the scent as a mix of Lavender, Clary Sage, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and other extracts. I was worried it might be too woody (I'm picky with sandalwood) or just too strong, but it smells incredible. I would buy a perfume of this scent because it smells so good, and I probably have been spraying more than I need to on my hair because of it. It's really herbal/botanical with maybe just the tiniest hint of the sandalwood and vanilla, and a little more of the lavender. If I had to weigh it I'd say it's sage >> lavender > sandalwood >> vanilla.The sprayer takes a little bit of getting used to, I was expecting a finer mist and kind of soaked one area of my hair at first.

My hair doesn't look greasy at all when I use this while damp and blow dry to finish.I initially used in just one section to make sure it didn't cause any kind of reaction first, so I haven't been using it long enough to see any results on the thinning/fullness claims but at least for me it hasn't caused any itching, irritation, or scalp breakouts so that's a plus.Gifted by Aveda in exchange for my honest review
