Aveda Smooth Infusion Anti‑Frizz Conditioner, Silicone‑Free 6.7 Fl Oz — Smoothing for Medium & Thick Hair, Humidity Protection

This lightweight yet nourishing conditioner uses plant-powered technology and a botanical oil blend to help calm frizz, smooth cuticles, and improve manageability without silicones. Formulated to work after the Smooth Infusion Anti-Frizz Shampoo, it leaves hair softer, shinier, and easier to style while offering a Pure-Fume aroma of sandalwood, bergamot, and palmarosa. The formula is free from animal-derived ingredients, synthetic fragrance, parabens, phthalates, and several other common additives, and meets ISO 16128 guidance for 99% ingredients from plants, minerals, or water.

How does this conditioner tame frizz without silicones?

Instead of silicones, Aveda uses a plant polymer shield that clings to the hair shaft and repels moisture from the air. This polymer forms an invisible barrier that reduces swelling of the cuticle in humid conditions, while botanical oils smooth and hydrate for a sleeker surface.

• Plant polymer technology creates a humidity-resistant film
• Kalahari melon seed and Tamanu oil smooth cuticles and add shine
• Silicone-free formula suitable for those avoiding dimethicone and similar ingredients

Will it work for my hair type and styling routine?

It’s formulated for medium to thick textures that need extra smoothing and detangling; use it after the matching shampoo for best results. The lightweight conditioning profile leaves hair manageable for blow-drying, straightening, or air-drying without weighing strands down.

• Best for medium and thick hair needing frizz control
• Detangles to speed up styling and reduce breakage
• Works well under heat styling but does not replace heat protectants

How should I use it to get the smoothest results?

Apply after cleansing with Smooth Infusion Anti-Frizz Shampoo for a targeted routine. Massage through wet hair from roots to ends, leave for a minute or two if hair is particularly dry, then rinse thoroughly.

• Use every wash after Smooth Infusion Anti-Frizz Shampoo
• Massage into wet hair, leave briefly for deep conditioning, then rinse
• Follow with styling products as needed for extra hold or shine

Is the scent and ingredient profile suitable for sensitive users?

The conditioner features Aveda’s Pure-Fume aroma built from botanical essences rather than synthetic fragrance, but those with fragrance sensitivity should patch-test first. The product avoids many common allergens and harsh additives, making it a cleaner choice for people seeking a plant-forward formula.

• Pure-Fume scent from sandalwood, bergamot, palmarosa, and plant essences
• Free from parabens, phthalates, SLS/SLES, silicones, and synthetic fragrances
• Not marketed as hypoallergenic—perform a patch test if sensitive

Who is this for: Aveda Smooth Infusion Anti-Frizz Conditioner is intended for people with medium to thick hair who want a silicone-free, naturally derived option to control humidity-driven frizz and improve manageability. It’s a good choice for customers who prioritize plant-based ingredients, a refined botanical scent, and a cruelty-free, B Corp-certified brand. If you need heavy hydration for very coarse or severely damaged hair, consider pairing with a deeper mask occasionally, but for regular smoothing and detangling this conditioner offers a balanced, everyday solution.
