Aveda Be Curly Advanced Curl Enhancer Cream — 1.4 fl oz, Silicone-Free Curl Definer & Frizz Control

Aveda Be Curly Advanced Curl Enhancer Cream is a silicone-free styling cream that defines curls and waves while boosting hydration, shine, and frizz protection.

This lightweight cream is made from 98% naturally derived ingredients* and is formulated for wavy, curly, and coily hair that needs definition without heavy silicones. It combines plant-derived peptides and kokum seed butter to help strengthen fragile strands, improve slip for detangling, and lock in moisture. The formula delivers a refreshing citrus Pure-Fume aroma made from certified organic lemon, bergamot, orange, and other plant and flower essences for a fresh, natural scent.

How does this cream improve curl definition?

Be Curly Advanced Curl Enhancer enhances the natural shape of curls and waves by coating strands lightly to encourage pattern formation and reduce frizz that masks curl structure. In ex‑vivo testing, it increased curl definition when used with complementary Be Curly products.

• Light film-forming ingredients help shape curls without stiffness.
• Plant-derived peptide supports fragile curl integrity.
• Kokum seed butter adds slip to smooth cuticles and reduce tangles.

Will this product control frizz in humid conditions?

Yes—formulated to reduce frizz even in higher humidity, the cream offers extended frizz control when applied to damp hair. Lab testing on tresses showed up to 72 hours of frizz protection in high-humidity conditions when used as directed.

• Designed to smooth the hair surface and resist moisture-related frizz.
• Works well when air-dried or blow-dried with a diffuser.
• Best results seen when paired with Be Curly shampoo and conditioner.

How should I use it for air-drying or diffusing?

Apply generously to towel-damped hair from mid-lengths to ends, then scrunch to encourage curl formation. For air-drying, let hair dry naturally after scrunching; for faster results and added volume, diffuse on low heat while cupping curls gently.

• Smooth a nickel-to-quarter size amount through damp hair, increasing for thicker textures.
• Scrunch or rake product through curls to define and distribute evenly.
• Finish with a diffuser for lift or allow to air dry for softer hold.

Is the formula clean and suitable for vegan routines?

Aveda Be Curly Advanced Curl Enhancer is 98% naturally derived* and free from silicones, SLS/SLES, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, petrolatum, and synthetic fragrance. Aveda is 100% vegan, a Certified B Corp, and Leaping Bunny approved, aligning with cruelty‑free and plant-forward routines.

• Silicone-free formula for lighter, more natural curl movement.
• No animal-derived ingredients; cruelty‑free certified.
