Aveda Smooth Infusion Anti‑Frizz Shampoo for Medium & Thick Hair, Silicone‑Free, 6.7 fl oz — Humidity Protection & Smoothing

Aveda Smooth Infusion Anti-Frizz Shampoo is a silicone-free, 95% naturally derived cleanser that gently reduces frizz and shields medium to thick hair from humidity while enhancing softness and shine.

This plant-powered shampoo uses a botanical smoothing oil blend and an invisible polymer to smooth hair cuticles, improve manageability, and repel moisture without silicones. It produces a rich, creamy lather that cleanses while conditioning; the formula is free from animal-derived ingredients, sulfates, parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances. Finished with Aveda’s Pure-Fume aroma of sandalwood, bergamot and palmarosa, it’s designed to be the first step in a routine that leads to sleeker, more controllable styles.

How does this shampoo control frizz without silicones?

The formula relies on a plant-derived polymer and a blend of botanical oils to smooth the hair surface and repel airborne moisture. Instead of laying down synthetic silicones, it forms an invisible plant-based shield that helps prevent strands from swelling in humid conditions.

• Invisible plant polymer repels water and reduces frizz.
• Kalahari melon seed oil and Tamanu oil smooth cuticles for shine.
• Silicone-free approach improves manageability for styling.

Will this shampoo work on medium and thick hair types?

Yes — the lathering, moisturizing formula is tuned to the needs of medium to thick hair, providing cleansing without over-drying. It softens and detangles, making hair easier to comb and style while maintaining body and movement.

• Creamy lather conditions as it cleanses to prevent stiffness.
• Helps reduce flyaways and surface roughness on thicker strands.
• Enhances shine without weighing hair down.

How should I use Aveda Smooth Infusion for best results?

Apply to thoroughly wet hair, massage from roots to ends to create a dense lather, then rinse completely. For optimal smoothing and long-lasting frizz control, follow with Smooth Infusion Anti-Frizz Conditioner and style as usual.

• Wet hair fully before application for even coverage.
• Massage to activate the creamy lather and distribute oils.
• Pair with the matching conditioner and styling products in the Smooth Infusion line.
