Aveda Brilliant Universal Styling Creme

Advantages: shine-enhancing, smoothes flyaways, anti-humectant
Disadvantages: sticky, creates puffiness, smelly, expensive, no trial size available

...all over. Dry your hair in small sections. I use straightening irons after blow-drying (ceramic ones are the least damaging), this eliminates the puffiness and seals in the shine from the lotion. Yes, I am still using it. Wouldn't you if you had shelled out £14?! I would probably not purchase another Hang Straight but prefer to revert to my old time favourite, Aveda Brilliant Range Universal Styling Creme. Remember, every person's hair is unique and so will suit different products. I have friends who swear by Aveda Hang Straight and won't use anything else to straighten their barnets. The product is suited to curly or rebellious hair. My crowning glory is perhaps just too unruly for this product. 'Hang Straight'? I need 'Plaster Straight'!

Advantages: last for ages, natural products
Disadvantages: none

...I love aveda and have been using their products for a number of years. Their are all made from natural plant extracts and smell lovely. I use this product to style my very short hair. I apply it to wet hair, spike into shape and just leave it. I dont dry it off. It holds the style all day and as stated earlier smells very nice. It is not an aerosol, the spring inside the top whips up the liquid to create the mousse. It is a light mousee but gives firm hold. The product brushes out at the end of the day. It can also be used to set a style before blow drying. Plus points are; smell texture environmental side it does its job You could say the cost could be off putting, but I find it last for ages compared to cheaper products so in the long term it is on a par with cost. I have only ever purchased Aveda from QVC... Read review

...…take a deep breath and engross yourself in the subtle floral aroma of jasmine, rose and many other pure flower and plant essences …this is the “AVEDA” feeling… Aveda are one of the leading names in the hair care and beauty industry. They are most well known for the use of plant-derived ingredients, organically grown whenever possible. "Aveda" is an anagram from the word "Ayurveda" derived from the ancient healing traditions of India , it means "Knowledge of nature" in Sanskrit. Infact, the ancient Ayurvedic medicine is still practiced in India. The Aveda product, Pure-Fume Brilliant™ Anti-Humectant Pomade is a finishing hair styling product. I first came across this product when my local hairstylist used it as a finishing product after my hair had been blow dried. The result was beautifully... Read review
