We are now heading toward the time of year with sunny days, and beachy waves. The humidity is building up and this leaves many curly and wavy texture clients submitting to their natural texture. This can be painful for some, the straightening iron addicts, particularly. It can lead to a vicious cycle of re-ironing the same sections that keep kinking up. This can also lead to damage from excess heat. So what is a girl to do?
Well, if you must keep up the fight, arm yourself with the right tools. Aveda Smooth Infusion line is designed to protect the hair against humidity and can also add a barrier from the heat of styling tools. Start your routine with Smooth Infusion Shampoo and Conditioner. Depending on your hair texture, you can follow up with one or a combo of styling products.
For fine to medium texture, just a pump or two of Style-Prep Smoother applied to towel-dried hair can be combed in and then style as usual. If you let your hair air dry, consider the Light Elements Smoothing Fluid instead because the Style-Prep can dry a little stiff if not brushed.
If the hair needs more help, and can handle something a little more heavy, layer on a small amount of Glossing Straightener on top of the Style-Prep and then use a brush with tension to dry the hair smooth. Be sure to direct the airflow of the drier down the hair shaft to help smooth down the cuticle. Then use the iron to polish off ends. Finish the hair with either Air Control Hair Spray for flexible hold on those fly away hairs. If you are not a fan of spray, you can smooth down the hairs with a dab of Light Elements Smoothing Fluid, just keep it off the scalp or you will look a little oily.
