Aveda Smooth Infusion Perfectly Sleek Styling Cream — Curly & Coily, 1.3 fl oz, Silicone-Free

Aveda Smooth Infusion Perfectly Sleek is a heat‑activated, silicone‑free styling cream that smooths naturally curly and coily hair for sleek blowouts and silk presses without changing your natural curl pattern.

This lightweight, plant‑powered cream combines a botanical smoothing oil, plant polymer shield and conditioning murumuru butter to tame frizz and resist humidity until your next wash. Formulated with 97% naturally derived ingredients*, it helps protect hair from breakage during combing and heat styling up to 450°F while leaving strands soft and touchable. The aroma is a Pure‑Fume blend featuring certified organic bergamot, Australian sandalwood and tonka for a subtle, natural scent.

How does this product create a sleek finish without silicones?

The formula uses a plant polymer shield and lightweight botanical oils to smooth the hair cuticle and repel moisture, delivering slip and control similar to silicone systems but made from plant-derived ingredients. It layers easily under heat styling tools to produce straight, glossy results without weighing hair down.

• Silicone-free plant polymer forms an invisible smoothing barrier
• Botanical oil blend improves slip for easier detangling and ironing
• Murumuru butter helps replenish moisture and maintain elasticity

Will it protect my hair from heat and breakage during styling?

Yes — the cream is designed to defend strands from mechanical and thermal stress during blowouts and flat‑ironing up to 450°F. It reduces breakage when combing wet or warm hair by improving manageability and providing a protective coating that minimizes friction.

• Thermal resilience rated for styling up to 450°F
• Conditions hair to reduce snapping during combing and flat‑ironing
• Helps preserve elasticity in highly textured hair

How should I use it for the best silk‑press or blowout?

For optimal results, apply to clean, towel‑dried and detangled hair, distribute from roots to ends, then blow‑dry smooth and, if desired, finish with a flat iron. A little goes a long way; start with a small amount and add more only where extra control is needed.

• Apply to towel‑dried, detangled hair
• Blow dry section by section for smoother results
• Finish with a flat iron for long‑lasting sleekness

What ingredients and exclusions should I know about?

The formula is 97% naturally derived* and contains plant‑sourced oils and murumuru butter for conditioning. Aveda avoids silicones, synthetic fragrances, parabens, phthalates and animal‑derived ingredients in this product, aligning with cleaner styling preferences.

Who is this for: This styling cream suits people with naturally curly, coily or highly textured hair who want a temporary straightened look — like a silk press or sleek blowout — without altering their natural curl pattern long term. It’s ideal for anyone seeking silicone‑free frizz control, humidity resistance and added protection during heat styling, especially when softness and ease of combing matter.
