Hello lovelies, how has your week been? I hope all’s fine.
I’m here to introduce a line of products that I feel many of you might be in
need of. But first, let me introduce the brand behind the products -
Aveda. Aveda was founded in 1987
and acquired in 1997 by Estee Lauder Companies. The brand is based upon the
belief that the natural world provides all the raw materials we need for
maintaining health and beauty, as long as we are responsible stewards of our
limited natural resources.
As you can tell from the picture above, my hair is pretty
messy. My hair is also extremely damaged due to the perming which takes place
every half a year. I really like the volume the perms give my hair. However, it
has become a major problem because it tangles like mad and there is no way for
me to comb through the knots.
This is extremely frustrating I had naturally straight hair with zero
tangles before I started perming
my hair. I have even considered chopping off my hair because I didn’t know how
to solve the problem.
To make things worse, I am frequently involved in photo shoots which
require different hairstyles and I often have to use a lot of hair spray and
backcomb my hair. Doing so actually causes further damage and adds on to my
already tangled hair problems.
So you can probably imagine how delighted I was when Aveda
sent me their Smooth Infusion Naturally Straight products to try out. This
range specifically targets people with messy and wavy hair problems. If this
works, I might not need to cut my hair off after all.
Here are products I received (L-R):
1.
Smooth Infusion Naturally Straight
2.
Smooth Infusion Style Prep Smoother
I was a little confused with these two products at first,
they seem the same. But no they
aren’t and let me explain what I’ve understood. This tube of Smooth Infusion Naturally Straight is a
styling crème which is to be applied daily after you have towel dried your
hair.. The styling crème is meant to progressively straighten your hair and
eliminate unwanted waves in the long run. The bottle of Smooth Infusion Style Prep Smoother, on the other hand, helps to
reduce frizz and protects the hair from heat damage. This helps to tame the
hair, reducing styling time and making styling a much easier process.
Both products contain naturally derived plant fibers which
invisibly attach themselves to each hair strand to loosen waves – and help hold
your straight style in place – while a humidity barrier of tapioca starch and
maize help fend off frizz, even in intense humidity.
To use the products, I followed the steps below:
Remember to apply the products to towel-dried hair.
I first applied a small amount of Smooth Infusion Style Prep
Smoother on my damp hair,
from mid to hair ends.
After that, I applied a coin-sized drop of Smooth Infusion Naturally Straight
styling crème, from mid to hair ends. I even sectioned my hair into half to see
the ‘before and after’ difference!
Lastly, I used a hair dryer to blow dry my hair and I was done!
Well this is the result and the difference is pretty
obvious! I never thought it would work on the first try! The Smooth Infusion
Naturally Straight crème makes my hair feel softer and the Smooth Infusion
Style Prep Smoother tamed my hair. I tried flat ironing it and it was pretty
amazing because usually when I do that, there will be lots of loose ends
sticking out. These products hold my hair together quite well. And what I
really liked about it is, it doesn’t feel greasy or heavy at all. Definitely a
plus point for me to use it daily :D
