Overview
Aveda makes the Be Curly Advanced Coil Definer as a strong-hold gel for coils and tight curls, with a plant protein peptide that replenishes strength. Spread it in sections through damp hair, leave it in and style.
Defined, shiny coils that hold up in humid weather is the case for it. It is a strong hold made for tight textures, and the citrus scent may not suit everyone.
Who it's for
Suited to wash-and-go and defined styles on coily hair in humid climates. People with looser curl patterns may find it weighs curls down.
Pros and cons
- Strong hold for coils
- Long humidity protection
- Plant peptide for strength
- Vegan, free of sulfates and parabens
- Too strong for loose waves
- Can feel firm when dry
- Volume fields differ
Performance notes
The gel forms a film around each coil as it dries, holding the clumps together and blocking humid air from swelling the strand. Applying by section on damp hair spreads it evenly so every coil is coated.
