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

Aveda Smooth Infusion Anti-Frizz Shampoo is a silicone-free, 95% naturally derived cleansing formula that gently removes impurities while smoothing strands and helping resist humidity.

This plant-powered shampoo is designed for medium to thick hair that needs softer, more manageable texture without silicones. It combines a botanical smoothing oil blend with a lightweight plant polymer to create a creamy lather that smooths cuticles and helps reduce flyaways. The scent is Aveda’s Pure-Fume aroma, layering Australian sandalwood, bergamot, and palmarosa for a calming rinse-time experience.

How does this shampoo reduce frizz on humid days?

The formula uses a dual-action approach: a plant-based polymer forms an invisible shield around each strand to repel moisture, while conditioning oils smooth the hair surface. Together they help hair resist the swelling and texture change that humidity causes, making styling easier between washes.

• Plant polymer coats strands to help block moisture absorption
• Kalahari melon seed and Tamanu oils soften and tame flyaways
• Light, creamy lather distributes smoothing agents evenly

Will this shampoo weigh my medium or thick hair down?

Formulated without silicones, the shampoo aims to smooth without adding heavy residue, leaving hair clean and touchable. It’s intended for medium and thick hair types, so it provides enough conditioning to reduce friction and frizz while maintaining natural movement.

• Silicone-free for a lighter finish and more natural bounce
• Moisturizing oils that condition without coating
• Creamy lather rinses clean to avoid buildup

How should I use it for best smoothing results?

Apply to wet hair and massage from roots to ends to create a dense, cleansing lather; rinse thoroughly and follow with the Smooth Infusion Anti-Frizz Conditioner. For extra humidity protection, use the matching styling products from the Smooth Infusion line.

• Massage into wet hair, focus on lengths and ends
• Rinse fully before conditioning
• Complete the system with the matching Aveda conditioner and styling items

What’s in the formula and what’s left out?
