Aveda Smooth Infusion Anti‑Frizz Shampoo — 1.7 fl oz Concentrate, Silicone‑Free Smoothing for Medium to Thick Hair

Aveda Smooth Infusion Anti-Frizz Shampoo is a silicone-free, plant-powered cleansing formula that gently removes buildup while smoothing strands and helping shield medium to thick hair from humidity.

This concentrated 1.7 fl oz tube belongs to Aveda’s Smooth Infusion collection and uses 95% naturally derived ingredients to soften, add shine, and improve manageability without silicones or harsh sulfates. Infused with a botanical smoothing oil blend including Kalahari melon seed oil and Tamanu oil, the shampoo creates a creamy lather that cleanses while forming an invisible plant polymer barrier to repel moisture and help prevent flyaways. The Pure-Fume aroma delivers a subtle blend of Australian sandalwood, bergamot, and palmarosa for a salon-like sensory experience.

How does this shampoo reduce frizz without silicones?

The formula relies on a plant-derived polymer and a smoothing oil complex rather than silicone ingredients. Together they smooth the cuticle surface and create an invisible shield that helps water bead and slide off the hair, reducing the swell and frizz that humidity causes.

• Botanical polymer provides a silicone-free barrier against moisture.
• Kalahari melon seed oil and Tamanu oil condition and improve combing.
• Creates a dense, creamy lather for even distribution from roots to ends.

Will this shampoo work for medium to thick hair types?

Yes—this shampoo is formulated to offer moisture and smoothing without weighing down medium or thick hair. It enhances manageability and shine while helping to control flyaways, making it simpler to style sleek looks or controlled waves.

• Provides targeted moisture to thicker strands that need smoothing.
• Prepares hair for conditioning and styling products in the Smooth Infusion range.
• Non-greasy finish that maintains natural movement and body.

How should I use it for best results?

Wet hair thoroughly, then massage a small amount from roots to ends to create a rich lather; rinse and repeat if desired. Follow with Aveda Smooth Infusion Anti-Frizz Conditioner to lock in smoothing benefits and maximize humidity protection.

• Apply to wet hair, work into a creamy lather, then rinse completely.
• Use alongside Smooth Infusion conditioner and styling products for layered protection.
• Suitable for regular use; ideal when humidity increases or before heat styling.
