Aveda Smooth Infusion Shampoo & Conditioner Review (by Maria)

I admit it, I have an addiction and it’s taken a destructive turn. No, I’m not talking about drugs or alcohol; I’m referring to my constant need to change my hair color.

I have lived through various shades of browns, reds, blondes, and even touches of pink during my years at Berkeley, and it has taken a real toll on my hair’s health. Over the past two years, though, I have finally found a way to help heal my dry, damaged, splitting hair. Besides the obvious bi-monthly trim and decelerated color change, I’ve started using Aveda hair products. In particular, Aveda Smooth Infusion Shampoo and Conditioner have given life back to my hair – glossing and smoothing it without weighing it down with product.

Not only does the Smooth Infusion line perform well and smell amazing, it also is Gold-level Cradle to Cradle certified, meaning its ingredients and materials are natural and have a positive impact on the environment. I am a huge supporter of Aveda because of their genuine effort to use sustainable ingredients and practices, and their truly superior products and salons. At $21.00 a bottle it may seem a little steep compared to drug store brands, but because you only need to use a small amount of this densely saturated product, each one has lasted me at least 3 months. A small price to pay for great, healthy hair without compromising your conscience. Enjoy!
