I’ll always be cautious when it comes to taking care of my curly hair. Over the years, I’ve tried a variety of products and brands, ranging from expensive curl creams to cheap leave-in sprays that should never have touched my hair. So, I consider myself well-informed about what works and what doesn’t for my curls, and I have some recommendations for beginners.
One brand that has always caught my attention for its holistic approach to hair care is Aveda. I’ll never forget my first experience with their scalp treatment, which was recommended by my hairdresser to relieve itchiness and provide a deep cleanse at home. Since then, I’ve been hooked.
So, when I heard that Aveda was relaunching their Be Curly range, I couldn’t wait to try all seven products. Compared to its competitors, this range is incredibly generous in size. I used the products for a week to see the results, how long they lasted, and most importantly, how my curls looked on the second day. Time-saving products always get a win in my book.
To cleanse and style my hair, I used the Aveda Be Curly Advanced range, starting with the Shampoo (£26) and Conditioner (£29) on wash day. Right from the start, I was impressed by the amazing scent of this duo.
After washing, I prepped my damp hair by applying the Curl Perfecting Primer (£29) to my curls. Then, I followed up with the Curl Enhancer Cream (£24) and topped it off with the Coil Definer Gel (£24), using small amounts and crunching my hair at the ends.
I was able to maintain my defined curls for a record-breaking two and a half days before I noticed some frizz. On the third day, I refreshed my hair with the Co-Wash (£36) and Intensive Curl Perfecting Masque (£41).
Overall, I was thrilled with the results of the Aveda Be Curly range. It delivered on its promises and helped me achieve long-lasting, defined curls. If you’re looking for products that work and save you time, I highly recommend giving these a try.
Wash day can be a drag, but thanks to the Be Curly Advanced Shampoo and Conditioner, detangling my hair was a breeze. These products are incredibly hydrating and moisturizing, making my hair feel soft and manageable. Aveda really nailed it with their non-drying, deep-cleaning shampoo that is also silicone-free.
Styling my curls is a therapeutic experience for me, and when I find products that actually work, it’s even better. Aveda’s Coil Definer Gel is a game-changer. Unlike cheap, low-quality gels that leave flakes and make my curls crunchy, this gel defines and holds my curls while keeping them soft and smooth all day long.
I have to admit, I usually skip co-washing and only use a hair mask occasionally. But Aveda’s Co-Wash and Intensive Masque revitalized my curls when they were looking dull, without having to go through my entire wash day routine again. It’s a time-saver and my curls look amazing.
You don’t need to buy all seven products from Aveda’s curl range for regular use. While it’s nice to have options, sticking to the basics will give you salon-worthy results. Just use the shampoo, conditioner, a curl cream, and gel, and you’re good to go. Don’t overcomplicate your routine – simplicity is key.
