Lots of shine

No flight

Anti-frizz quickie

ALEXANDRA BUSSE-RICHTER, EDITOR, tried to tame her flying hair with a lot of moisture

The "Moisture Kick Treatment" from Aveda stops flying hair. First we wash – including a head massage with essential oils. A care complex and vegetable oils bind moisture, and the multi-combed serum deepens the effect. Then a conditioner seals the hair. In contrast to glossing, the fabrics do not lie around the hair as a layer, but should accumulate in them.
