Aveda Smooth Infusion heat-activated styling cream 1.3 fl oz — silicone-free, frizz & heat protection to 450°F

Aveda Smooth Infusion Perfectly Sleek is a heat-activated, silicone-free styling cream that smooths naturally curly and coily hair for sleek, frizz-resistant blowouts and silk presses without changing your curl pattern.

This lightweight, plant-powered formula (97% naturally derived*) combines a botanical smoothing oil, murumuru butter and a plant polymer shield to protect textured hair from humidity, frizz and heat stress up to 450°F. Designed for use on towel-dried, detangled hair before blow-drying and flat-ironing, it leaves hair softer and more manageable while preserving natural texture between washes. Aveda’s Pure-Fume aroma blends organic bergamot, Australian sandalwood and tonka for a subtle botanical scent.

How does this cream tame frizz and resist humidity?

The product forms an invisible plant-polymer barrier around each strand that helps repel moisture and reduce surface roughness, so hair stays smoother in humid conditions. Because it’s silicone-free, the finish feels natural rather than waxy.

• Plant polymer shield that repels water and smooths cuticles
• Botanical smoothing oils to soften and add slip
• Controls frizz until your next shampoo

Will it protect my hair during high-heat styling?

Aveda Smooth Infusion Perfectly Sleek helps protect textured hair from breakage associated with combing and heat styling at temperatures up to 450°F. It adds heat resistance and reduces friction for safer blow-drying and flat-ironing when used as directed.

• Heat protection rated up to 450°F for reduced breakage
• Improves comb-through slip to limit mechanical damage
• Pairs with blow-dry and flat-iron steps for best results

How do I use it for a silk press or sleek blowout?

On clean, towel-dried and detangled hair, smooth a small amount from mid-length to ends, then blow-dry section by section. Finish with a flat iron if desired to lock in a straight, glossy result without altering the hair’s inherent curl structure permanently.

• Apply to damp, detangled hair—start with a pea-sized amount
• Blow-dry with a brush for smoothness; flat-iron to refine
• Use less on fine hair and more on dense, coarser textures

What ingredients and formulation benefits should I expect?

The cream is 97% naturally derived* and formulated without silicones, sulfates, parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, mineral oil, and other common additives. Conditioning murumuru butter and botanical oils restore moisture and elasticity while the plant-based polymer provides surface protection.

• 97% naturally derived* formula; silicone-free
• Murumuru butter for conditioning and elasticity
• Pure-Fume scent with certified organic botanicals

Who is this for: Aveda Smooth Infusion Perfectly Sleek is built for people with naturally curly, coily or highly textured hair who want temporary straight or sleek styles—such as silk presses or polished blowouts—without permanently altering their natural curl pattern. It’s also a good pick for anyone who wants heat protection, humidity resistance and a silicone-free, plant-forward formulation from a cruelty-free, B Corp brand.
