Overview

Muggy summer streets and damp climates are where Aveda Control Force earns its spot. The aerosol mists firm, layerable hold over dry hair and helps defend the style against humidity.

Aveda pairs strong humidity defense with a formula free of silicones, mineral oil, synthetic fragrance and parabens. The firm hold suits set styles more than loose, swingy hair.

Who it's for

Updos, curls and blowouts that must last through damp weather suit this spray. People who want natural movement should use a flexible hold spray instead.

  • No silicones or mineral oil
  • No synthetic fragrance
Cons
  • Firm hold limits movement

Performance notes

Hold builds with each light layer, so misting from a distance and layering gives control without wet spots. The polymer film slows moisture from reaching the hair, which is how it fights humidity.
