Aveda Smooth Infusion Anti-Frizz Conditioner for Medium & Thick Hair, Silicone-Free Smoothing, 6.7 fl oz

Aveda Smooth Infusion Anti-Frizz Conditioner is a silicone-free, 99% naturally derived smoothing conditioner that detangles, softens, and helps shield medium to thick hair from humidity for a sleeker, shinier finish.

This conditioner is the second step in Aveda’s Smooth Infusion routine, formulated to improve manageability and reduce flyaways without silicones. Its lightweight plant polymer forms an invisible barrier to repel moisture, while a botanical oil blend nourishes cuticles to enhance shine and softness. The product is suitable for medium and thick hair and carries Aveda’s Pure-Fume signature of Australian sandalwood, bergamot, and palmarosa. It is free from common synthetic additives and made from mostly plant-derived ingredients per ISO 16128.

How does this conditioner reduce frizz on humid days?

The formula uses a plant-based polymer that instantly forms a microscopic shield on hair strands to minimize moisture absorption from the air. That barrier helps preserve style shape and reduces the puffiness and flyaways often caused by humidity without relying on silicones.

• Invisible plant polymer repels surface moisture.
• Silicone-free smoothing action suitable for natural-fiber formulations.
• Pairs with Smooth Infusion Shampoo for best humidity control.

What nourishing ingredients are inside and how do they work?

A botanical oil blend of Kalahari melon seed oil and Tamanu oil condition and smooth the hair cuticle, delivering slip for easier detangling and a reflective surface for shine. The conditioner’s hydrating base helps soften strands without weighing hair down, maintaining natural movement and body.

• Kalahari melon seed oil: lightweight moisture and sheen.
• Tamanu oil: helps smooth cuticle texture for softness.
• 99% naturally derived ingredients* for an eco-forward profile.

How should I use this product for the best results?

Use after the Smooth Infusion Anti-Frizz Shampoo on wet hair. Work a small amount through lengths and ends, leave in briefly if hair is particularly dry, then rinse thoroughly. For longer-lasting smoothness, style with heat protectant and avoid overwashing to preserve natural oils.

• Apply to wet hair after shampooing, focusing on mid-lengths and ends.
• Comb through to detangle and distribute evenly; rinse after a minute or two.
• For best anti-frizz performance, use the full Smooth Infusion system.

Is this conditioner suitable for my hair type and routine?

This conditioner is formulated for medium to thick textures that tend to frizz or lose definition in humidity. It adds slip for detangling and light conditioning without silicones, making it a practical choice for those seeking plant-forward care and a smoother finish. Fine hair that needs heavy volumizing may prefer a lighter formulation.

• Ideal for medium and thick hair prone to frizz and flyaways.
• Silicone-free: fits routines avoiding synthetic film-formers.
• Works well with heat styling and smoothing brushes when used with a thermal protector.

Who this is for: Aveda Smooth Infusion Anti-Frizz Conditioner is designed for people with medium to thick hair who want a silicone-free, naturally derived option to reduce frizz, improve manageability, and add shine. It suits those looking for cruelty-free, vegan hair care with a botanical scent and who prefer formulas free from parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances. If you need a heavier, reconstructive treatment or your hair is very fine and limp, consider lighter Aveda options, but for controlled smoothness without silicones, this product is a clear match.
