Aveda Be Curly™ Curl Enhancer Review In 2022

Let’s Talk About The Aveda Be Curly™ Curl Enhancer:

Every curly girl needs a curl enhancer in her life. Whether you have fine waves or the tightest of coils, a curl enhancer can promote your natural curl pattern and make it more manageable for styling and even help with moisture retention too.

So you must have heard of Aveda but did you know they do a curly hair range?

Their Be Curly™ Collection comes with step-by-step products to unlock the best version of your curls. From shampoo, conditioner, leave-in treatments, co-washes to curl enhancers. I am going to talk about the Curl Enhancer in particular today.

When I first came across this range, I was skeptical at first, but their naturally derived vegan formulas have been extremely beneficial for curly hair. They are super gentle, silicone-free and the natural ingredients work wonders for moisture retention.

So let’s kickstart this review, discussing my thoughts on the Curl Enhancer and whether it’s worth investing in.

How The Curl Enhancer Works:

So what is the Be Curly Curl Enhancer, and how does it work on curly hair? The curl enhancer is a must-have in any curly hair kit; it works to promote the natural curl shape while helping to lock in moisture and ease the detangling process. 

This product intensifies curls, combats frizz, and boosts shine on wavy hair.

Since curly hair is the driest hair type of them all, moisture retention is tricky. Natural oils have a hard time reaching the ends of the scalp, so moisturizing products like leave-in treatments are crucial to keep those curls hydrated. 

It also acts as a leave-in conditioner to ease the detangling process. So since you cannot brush curly hair while dry, only while wet. This curl enhancer strengthens the ends and provides enough slip to make the brushing process a breeze. 

What I love about the brand Aveda is that it offers at least 90% derived ingredients within its formulas to make them super gentle and perfect for any hair type. In the Curl Enhancer, ingredients are 95% derived, containing aloe and wheat protein. 

Aloe vera is perfect for enhancing the natural curl and has a natural light hold. Aloe vera is both a humectant and emollient, which means it helps attain and retain moisture, allowing the curl to thrive and bounce up naturally.

Wheat protein is a great hydrator; it strengthens the hair shaft, provides moisture, prevents breakage, and adds shine. These are crucial for the detangling process and help to keep hair hydrated for longer periods of time. 

The Be Curly Curl Enahncer leaves your curls smooth and defined, smells divine, and works wonders for conditioning and defining your hair. The geranium delivers a light floral aroma with lemon, bergamot, orange, and other addictive aromas that will leave your curls smelling as fresh as a daisy– nothing more addictive than fresh smelling curls.

Whether you have curly or wavy locks, this product will make a hell of a difference.

Who’s It For?

This curl cream is perfect for fine hair; the wheat protein is able to infuse fine strands of your hair with moisture, thanks to its lightweight texture. It is linked to repairing damaged hair follicles by embedding additional proteins into the follicle.

Wheat protein is brilliant at attracting water and moisture, adding volume and fullness to the hair. It is a great lightweight but effective curl cream; it treats natural curls with the moisture needed without weighing them down.

I usually hate the feeling of products in my hair, the stickiness, heaviness, or crunchy feel, but this product leaves my curls as soft as silk. It promotes the natural feel and gives curls that addictive bounce without the weight.

It is for any curlies that need a bit of curl definition, hydration, moisture and a little helping hand in the detangling process. 

Features Of The Be Curly™ Curl Enhancer

There are many features and benefits of using the Aveda Be Curly Curly Enhancer on ease of use and the benefits it has for your curls. Plus, since Aveda uses the majority of natural ingredients, it is super safe to use on any curl type, frail or healthy. 

Defines and Strengthens Curls and Waves:

As suggested in the name, the main feature of the Curl Enhancer is that it promotes the natural curl shape. The wheat protein and organic aloe-infused styling cream expand when the hair is wet and retracts when dry to really enhance the curl. 

It returns to its natural shape and bounce, and the light hold of these natural ingredients together, especially the aloe vera, helps to promote the natural curl shape and offer a good level of hold for the day. It also protects against environmental stresses. 

Plus since this product helps tame frizz by smoothing the cuticle, which also helps intensify the curl as frizz is not restricting it. 

Tame Frizz and Improves Shine:

The wheat and aloe vera infusion works wonders for improving shine and helping to tame frizz. The amino acids in Aloe Vera help promote strength and add shine to your hair. It helps to smooth the cuticle, which helps tame frizz. 

Since aloe vera is both a humectant and emollient, it helps improve the smoothness of the hair; it tends to work well as a detangler, too, as it eases through knots and tangles. Snagging and pulling on curls can damage the natural curl shape; this can rough up the cuticle, causing frizz and damage the natural curl pattern, which is not ideal. 

The wheat protein binds with the natural keratin within the hair; it wraps around hair like a protective cocoon, effectively coating it with a nourishing protective layer. It transforms limp, lifeless hair and offers great resistance to frizz and split ends. 

These ingredients help promote the hair’s natural shine and banish frizz.

95% Naturally Derived:

One of the most amazing features of the Aveda brand, in general, is that the majority of the ingredients are naturally derived, making them perfect for any hair type and especially curly hair as the ingredients are very gentle on this hair type. 

The Be Curly Curl Enhancer is 95% naturally derived from plant and flower extracts. Aveda offers plant-based solutions without compromising the quality of the product. They have also been 100% vegan for over a year now!

Aveda is putting other brands to shame; they use responsible sourcing ingredients and have a responsible manufacturing process by the creation of their products is created using 100% wind energy– far more sustainable than their competitors.

Their ingredients are from plants, non-petroleum minerals, or water. They are people tested and forever vegan.
