From Wild & Frizzy to Soft & Sleek with Aveda Smooth Infusion
Complimentary products were received from Aveda and SheSpeaks. All opinions are my own.
Okay, guys. Raise your hand if there is something about your hair that you’d like to change.
I know I sure have hair gripes, and I’m betting many of you do, too. But I am so excited to tell you that I have shed one major hair complaint for good!
If you have hair that you wish were smoother, straighter, and shinier, believe me when I tell you this: Aveda’s Smooth Infusion line will change your life. Yes, really.
I know, I know. You’ve tried everything, and nothing really works the way you want it to. I was in the same boat until I tried this product line. Here, let me show you.
Because we believe in honest reviews here at Game on Mom, I made sure that I followed exactly the same washing and styling process for both images, detailed below. I also made sure to use the quickest and easiest process possible, because I know how hard it can be to spend a lot of time on your hair on busy mornings.
In the Before picture, I used shampoo, conditioner, and a smoothing product, all made by brands you can buy at any drug store. I then did a rough blow-dry (no brushing while drying), and then after it was dry I simply brushed it to detangle and smooth it down a bit.
For the After picture, I used Aveda’s Smooth Infusion shampoo, conditioner, Style-Prep Smoother, and Naturally Straight cream. I then did the same rough blow-dry and followed that with brushing.
And that’s it, folks. The difference you see in those pictures is 100% thanks to the products. I didn’t use a brush to smooth my hair while blow-drying, and I didn’t use a flat iron after drying my hair.
Needless to say, I am in love with Smooth Infusion. I can honestly tell you I have never used a product that worked this well for me. Sure, I’ve used some products that straightened and smoothed well enough, but they were always heavy and goopy and weighed down my very fine hair. Smooth Infusion products smooth and soften hair with absolutely no weight at all. Now I don’t even have to use my flat iron – that means less heat damage and time saved. Hooray!
All the products are fantastic, but the star of the Smooth Infusion show is this cream called Naturally Straight. Not only does it smooth your hair immediately, but it progressively straightens your hair and loosens curls the more you use it. After five consecutive applications of Naturally Straight, hair will stay straight for up to three washes. But don’t worry – it’s not like a chemical straightener, and it’s not permanent. It does not penetrate the hair shaft or modify your hair’s natural bonds. Instead, it works from the outside and adds a surface layer to the hair that naturally and progressively loosens curls. It’s also safe for hair with relaxers and dyes. How cool is that?
And like all of Aveda’s products, you can trust that the Smooth Infusion line is botanically-based and environmentally responsible.
If you’re ready to see how Naturally Straight your hair can really be, you need to try the Smooth Infusion line asap! You can order online at Aveda.com or pick up a bottle in person at an Aveda store or salon.

What a big difference, the Naturally Straight sounds amazing especially lasting three washes.

My Mom and her friends swear by Aveda products and were devastated when the store nearby shut down! Now I can tell her where to purchase it online. I may even try it for myself now that I don’t have to walk miles in that mall!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!

Wow, the before and after is incredible. Since I have gotten older my hair dries out and gets major frizz. I hate it. I will definitely be trying this out!

I have tried Aveda and know that it is a very good brand to make my hair soft and not frizzy. I like how their products smell and that they are so healing on my hair. I need to get some more, I ran out!
My daughter has been using this and she loves the difference she sees!

This is just the product for my wild and frizzy natural curly hair! I love Aveda!
Wow – I’m impressed. If you knew how much gook I put in my hair several times daily to keep it under control, you’d fall over! I want to try this, as I’m always on the lookout for something that really works!!!
Wow! What a difference. I have frizzy hair too. I’ll need to try this.

Wow, the before and after are very different. I’ve always been a fan of Aveda products. I have similar hair. It’s pretty straight, but also pretty fuzzy right now. Seems the older I get, the drier it gets. I need to get some of this and give it a try!

Wow, this is so amazing. I have really frizzy hair and I have never found anything that has worked. I have never seen the Aveda brand and will have to check with salons in the area to see if I can purchase it.. Thanks for the great review.
I have never tried this product line. I have heard nothing but good things about it. I think I would love to try it. I need volumizer because my hair is starting to thin out.
I have the most frizzy hair and would love to try this! My hair looks like a mess after I go outside.
The before picture is totally my hair type indeed. I love what these products do and will have to get them. Thanks for sharing.
I NED to try this! I’m always looking to tame my hair a little better!
I have not tried this product before, but after reading your review, I’m sure I will. My daughter and I both have frizzy days and this product is just what we need. Thanks for the review.
I could really use the smooth cream; especially when it is humid outside
The difference using the Smooth Infusion is amazing. This would be great for my hair which is naturally curly but when I try to straighten it it has so much frizz to it.

My hair is very unmanageable and sparse. I need to try the products and hope they work.
That’s an impressive change in your hair. I have short easy to manage hair.
I just saw Chelsea Clinton on TV. She used to have the frizziest hair ever. Now it is st straight smooth and sleek. Wondered how she does it? Is it these products or a flat iron all the way to the roots?
This looks like a very good product but my hair is too straight.
I’m wondering if this would improve my short gray hair. Now that it is gray it seems to have developed a mind of its own. This would be great to smooth it down.
great review.big difference in your before and after photos.i really dont need this type of product.i already have straight hair.besides i really dont do anything to my hair or use anything on my hair but shampoo and a brush
Here hair looks great! I have never tried but my hair tends to get frizzy I would love to know if it would work for my hair
