Beauty Alert: Aveda Summer Cut and Style

I’ve been intrigued with Aveda for years! When I was in college, one of the girl’s on my floor used to use Aveda products all the time. I had never tried any of them before, so that was the very first time I had had any experience with the brand. And I must admit, I was impressed. Even back then! 🙂

When anyone every asks me to recommend products that are botanically based, Aveda is always on the tip of my tongue. Founded in 1978, Aveda has created high performance, botanically-based products for beauty professionals and consumers—while continuously striving to conduct business in an environmentally sustainable manner for 33 years. Headquartered in Blaine, Minnesota, Aveda manufactures innovative plant-based hair care, skin care, makeup and lifestyle products, available at retail in Aveda Experience Centers and more than 7,000 professional hair salons and spas in more than 30 countries. Not to shabby, huh?

Right now they Aveda has exceptional products that they are highlighting called the Aveda Summer Solutions products. These products are PERFECT for the summer because the Summer Solutions collection helps protect, restore and provides glow during the summer season. Aveda’s ten Summer Solutions products perform from head to heels when the heat is on to help prevent damage to skin and hair from the summer sun, humidity, chlorine and salt.

I had the opportunity to head to an Aveda salon in Providence, RI and try out some of the Summer Solutions products up close and personal with an Aveda specialist! I went in for a summer cut and a style… I was heading out to dinner with Matt that night, so I wanted to it styled glamorously! She did a wonderful job cutting it (she re-layered and cleaned up my ends) and styled it BEAUTIFULLY!! I didn’t want to ruin it!

I had 2 of the Summer Solutions products in my hair:

Sun Care™ Protective Veil
• A lightweight, water-resistant, UV-defense spray hair veil that provides invisible protection from sun exposure for up to 16 hours and helps minimize color fadage, damage and dryness.
• Key ingredients include: wintergreen and cinnamon bark oils, certified organic shea butter, and coconut and palm oils.

Smooth Infusion™ Style-Prep Smoother
• A pre-style treatment that defends against humidity for up to 12 hours, smoothes frizz and preps hair to shorten styling time.
• Key ingredients include: certified organic tapioca starch, aloe, maize and guar bean, hydrolyzed wheat protein complex, and sandalwood from Australia.

And here was my Aveda transformation…
