Smooth Sailing: Aveda Smooth Infusion Shampoo and Conditioner

Once in awhile, a product comes along that's a total game-changer for my hair. We're talking straighter, smoother, shinier, silkier ... every "S" word you could imagine for salon-worthy locks. Aveda Smooth Infusion Shampoo and Aveda Smooth Infusion Conditioner fall into this category.

I have to admit, I'm usually not a fan of Aveda conditioners. Love the shampoos, but the conditioners end up making my hair feel totally straw-like. Not the case with this baby -- a dime-sized amount from each bottle and my hair was so soft, I didn't even need a hairbrush to get out any tangles!

An exclusive plant infusion, blended from organic aloe, maize and guar bean, brings smoothness to the hair and prevents flyaways. The conditioner even has a menthol-like quality to it that gives your head a cool tingly feeling. And as they're best for hair that's thick, wavy, coarse and dry (which, coincidentally, happen to be the EXACT four attributes my hair most identifies with), they've really become a no-brainer in my shower routine.
