Smooth as Silk, Thanks to Aveda

As you all know, one of our main jobs here at The Wayward Hairdresser is to make sure that our clients feel great about their hair and as a result themselves when they walk out our doors. What you may not know, though, is that it is just as important to us that you continue to love your style each and every day in between appointments because in my experience loving your hair can give you a confidence boost few other things can. 

In an effort to make sure that all our clients can easily maintain their hair, I have been on a lifelong hunt for all the best products. Over the last couple of years it has been very clear that Aveda products don’t just provide healthy, nourished hair but also lead to the best styling results both in the salon and at home. That is why we are an Aveda salon. 

One Aveda line, in particular, has been a favorite around here for a while but recently went through an update. I have always loved working with the Aveda Smooth Infusion line because it provided excellent results for all hair textures from extremely straight to wild and curly. I was nervous when I found out that Aveda was going to reformulate their Smooth Infusion line, because I didn’t want to lose some of my favorite products, so when I got the first shipment a couple of weeks ago I was anxious to get my hands into it and try each new product out on some of my favorite clients. 

Well, the verdict is in, these products are even better than before. As always they are created from all natural ingredients to help maintain the health of the hair. In addition they are made to protect, smooth, condition and style every type of hair for a result that is bouncy and shiny every single day. I am still a Smooth Infusions devotee and will be recommending these products to clients near and far, and here’s why:

Aveda Smooth Infusion Anti-Frizz Shampoo and Anti-Frizz Conditioner

The specially formulated, vegan anti-frizz shampoo and conditioner of the Aveda Smooth Infusion line is made for daily use. It is a lightweight product that fights environmental factors that can lead to dull and frizzy hair. 

The Smooth Infusion anti-frizz shampoo contains ingredients that smooth, moisturize and restore luster to your tresses. The silicone-free formula gently cleanses while boosting shine. It contains a plant-based polymer shield and botanical smoothing oils. These hair care products are great for all hair types, but are especially suited to straight hair.

Aveda Smooth Infusion Perfect Blow Dry

Aveda's smooth infusion perfect blow dry is specially formulated for straight, wavy, or curly textures. Blow-drying is necessary to activate the hair styling cream. Aveda Smooth Infusion perfect blow dry is also ideal for those with coily textures. A blow-dry with smooth infusion will ensure your hair stays silky for several days.

The formula contains a silicone-free plant polymer shield that smooths the tresses. The botanical smoothing oil blend is derived from Tamanu and Kalahari melon seeds. The hairstyle-prep spray comes with a patented dual-action system that locks in moisture. The spray can be used on either wet or dry hair. And the fragrance is simply divine. This spray-on style-prep is a great way to give your hair a polished look in no time.

Aveda Smooth Infusion Style Prep Smoother

The Aveda Smooth Infusion Style Prep Cream lays the foundation for sleek and shiny hair. It reduces frizz and protects against heat. It also improves styling and protects against humidity for up to 12 hours. If you're tired of your hair looking like a frizz ball, the Aveda Smooth Infusion Style Prep Smoother is the perfect product to use to save you time and energy.

The style prep smoother works by smoothing your hair without leaving it stiff or greasy. It can be used on wet hair and can make straightening easier. Pair it with the Smooth Infusion Perfectly Sleek to get the perfect straight and bouncy hair. It contains a plant polymer shield and botanical smoothing oil blend that create a perfect canvas.

Aveda Smooth Infusion Perfectly Sleek

The Aveda Smooth Infusion Perfectly Smooth styling cream transforms your naturally curly or coily hair into a sleek and shiny style. With silicone-free properties, it helps to improve combability and transform unruly hair into sleek and shiny locks. It also protects hair against heat and humidity by adding a protective layer of plant polymer shield. It can be used in conjunction with heat styling methods, including blow-drying and straightening.

If you’re interested in trying any of the Smooth Infusion line, we have all of the products available in the shop. Or better yet, come by for a cut or a new hair color and we can show you just how smooth and silky your hair can be when you are using the right products.
