Aveda Naturally Straight and Be Curly

Over the past ten months, my hair has gone through a variation of changes due to the pregnancy hormones running through my body and over time, my hair has become slightly more wavier than it was prior to my pregnancy. I've found myself needing to tame the frizz that I've always suffered with a lot more than usual and the baby hairs that frame my face have become slightly out of control, as well as around my ears and the nape of my neck. New hairs have formed throughout my parting which stand on end uncontrollably and are reminiscent of a static reaction, creating a rather crazy hair do day to day that in all honesty, probably isn't the best look for anyone.

Since becoming a mum to baby Harrison almost six weeks ago, time has been an issue, and where I would have had endless time to straighten, tong and style my hair to near perfection before, that's now unheard of and a top knot with loose hairs at the back of my head, referred to as a mullet by my loving boyfriend, is as far as it has got to styling for the most part of the past three weeks. 

Aveda recently got in touch with me and gave me the chance to try their new Smooth Infusion Naturally Straight which aimed towards those with curly, wavey and frizzy hair, works to combat frizz and hold your hair straight for up to three washes after using consecutively for five washes.

Perfect for mums like myself and those with troublesome hair, I put the line to the test and have been really impressed with how well it smooths my hair, taming my frizzy areas and fighting against the humidity we're currently experiencing. As a new mum that hasn't had any real me time, it's really refreshing to wake up to hair that doesn't need much attention and is pretty much as straight as it can get from predominantly products and a blow dry, which I must admit I normally struggle with. 

Although I do normally struggle with my blowdrying techniques, the key to Naturally Straight is all in the blowdrying, as the tension and heat lock in the fibres around the hair. These plant fibres have a progressive effect, so in turn my hair becomes straighter and straighter the more I use the product and my blow-drying my hair becomes easier.

Demonstrating how I used the range along with my best friend Nikki who took me up on my offer to put the Aveda Be Curly Range to the test, you can see from the shots here, and you can see from the results in a video tomorrow over on my YouTube channel, that my hair looks a lot healthier too. 

Consisting of four Be Curly products, the Shampoo & Conditioner, Style Prep & Curl Enhancer, Be Curly has been an ideal system for Nikki as she personally loves to embrace her curls. Like me, Nikki has recently been experiencing a whole load of frizz, due to the heat and humidity and has found her hair being even more work than it normally is. 

Be Curly works as a system to tame frizz, create extra shine and intensify existing curls, and with its hero ingredient Wheat Protein locking into the hairs true curls to reform them back to their bouncy, full of life form, from an outsiders opinion, I think it's worked a treat on her locks.

Our Aveda Naturally Straight and Be Curly video will be going live tomorrow, where you'll be able to see the products in full use, how we applied them and all of our thoughts as well as hair results from two pretty different ends of the spectrum.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the products once our video is live tomorrow. Do these Aveda products intrigue you and sound as if they're something your curly/wavey/frizzy hair is lusting after?
