Aveda Smooth Infusion Naturally Straight

I was invited by SheSpeaks to review Aveda’s Smooth Infusion Naturally Straight.  Since I do have natural curls and waves in my hair, I thought this hair product might be interesting to try for taming the frizz that comes with it.

I found this product had a pleasant, light citrus scent.  Once applied to my towel-dried hair that I sectioned off, I am happy to report it did a wonderful job of smoothing.

Aveda's Brilliant Spray-On Shine

I hate those days when my hair lacks its normal luster.  If you're like me, you want instant help to make yourself presentable and rely on instant conditioners, shine serums or sprays on those occasions when dreaded bad hair happens.  Today, I want to share my feelings about Aveda's Brilliant Spray-On Shine that I was provided to review.

This pleasant scented product is enriched with vitamin E and rice bran among other botanicals for shine and smoothness.  I found using Aveda's Brilliant Spray On-Shine on my finished style didn't weigh my hair down with any oily feel. 

I do have some natural curl and waves that are prone to frizz with humidity, but  this spray managed to control the frizz and any potential flyaway hair as well.   

As to shine, well, prepare to be dazzling!  This spray will definitely correct any dullness you may have as it imparts a brilliant shine all right.

A 3.4 oz. bottle has a retail price of $25 and is wonderful to have on hand when you need that quick hair beauty fix.  Do check it out and see for yourself. You may also have found hair salvation in a bottle with cruelty-free beauty brand, Aveda's Brilliant Spray On-Shine!

Aveda's Pure Abundance Style Prep

Are you like me and constantly on the hunt for hair styling products to add more volume?  As I previously explained, my own hair is thick with lots of wave and curl to it, but I am never without a volumizing product to apply to my layers to make those curls pop and spring to life.   In my opinion, a styling product of this sort should be on practically everyone's radar not just those with fine or thin hair for the extraordinary difference it can make.  So when I had the opportunity to review Aveda's Pure Abundance Style Prep on my own head, I couldn't wait to put it to the test.  

What I like about Aveda is their commitment to achieving beauty without sacrificing the environment or the consumer's well-being.  Thus, this company goes through great lengths incorporating that philosophy into each of their products while also striving to use as much naturally derived ingredients as possible like the botanical blend of passion fruit, rice bran, acai oil, organic aloe, and acacia gum for thickening in Pure Abundance Style Prep while a  natural polymer derived from corn is what the company uses to build volume.

This product comes as spray.  After I freshly shampooed and conditioned, I shook the bottle well and then gave my  towel-dried hair several small squirts and combed it through before using my blow-dryer.  This has a wonderful earthy herbal sort of fragrance that was soothing, almost like a bit of aromatherapy while drying, which was very nice and relaxing.  Furthermore, this spray was non-sticky and felt weightless when touched as my hair shaped up in the process of drying.

By the time I finished styling, I liked what I saw in my mirror with how this product worked.  My curls plumped up where I needed them to be and even where I sprayed near my roots somewhat lifted, which I really loved since it took some of that forceful weight away from my long side bangs.

Usually, I shampoo every day.  However, I wanted to see how this product would work when I skipped a day and just relied on restyling with some of this spray.  I was surprised how it managed to puff up my style again without weighing it down.  Instead, it felt clean and just as fresh.  

Aveda's Pure Abundance Style Prep retails for $24 for a 3.4 oz. bottle.  Take if from me, this is a nice product to have around for thickening hair and giving it lift with volume. 

Aveda's Control Force Firm Hold Hair Spray Review

Aveda's Control Force Firm Hold Hair Spray

No wonder so many stylists recommend Aveda hair products to their clients.  After my experience with Control Force Firm Hold Hair Spray, I can totally understand the reason.  In my opinion, it happens to be a sensational hair spray if this is an example of their line.

Why do I think this hair spray is special?  Besides keeping your style in tact practically all day without drooping even on a humid day, this Control Force Firm Hold Hair Spray will not leave your hair feeling sticky or caked with a residue like some others often can.  

You can achieve amazing texture with buildable firm hold with this hairspray.  All I did was to layer applications to get that firmest of holds.  The important thing to remember is to make sure to let each coat dry completely before  spraying another layer to the level of firmness you need. 

Usually, I always just spray my finished style with hair spray as the last step.  However, a friend suggested that I should spray my hair first with some before putting my curling iron to it to really turn on the shine.  And to my surprise, your sprayed hair does look to have more gloss.  Then, I finished with a bit more as usual. 

Organic essential oils of lavender, bergamot, palmarosa, and vetiver give this hair spray a calming aroma with sort of a woodsy smell.  The formula also has UV filters and anti-oxidants to keep hair healthy and protected.

Seriously, there is a lot to love about this Aveda Control Force Firm Hold Hair Spray as I mentioned.  If you are in the market for a great new hair spray, this is one you definitely need to try.  A 9.1 fl. oz. can retails for $26.
