Protect Your Hair with Aveda Brilliant, Nutriplenish Leave-In, and Smooth Infusion Style-Prep

Heat styling can create stunning looks, but frequent use of hot tools like flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers can lead to dryness, breakage, and color fading. At Venelle Salon & Spa in Brooklyn, we recommend pairing your styling routine with Aveda’s heat protectant products to keep your hair healthy, shiny, and damage-free.

Here’s how to use some of Aveda’s best heat styling products—Brilliant, Nutriplenish Leave-In Conditioner, and Smooth Infusion Style-Prep—for maximum protection and flawless results.

Why Heat Protection Matters

Excessive heat can:

• Break down the hair’s natural protein

• Cause cuticle damage leading to frizz and dullness

• Fade color-treated hair

• Increase dryness and brittleness

Using heat protectant products forms a protective barrier on the hair shaft, reducing heat damage and locking in moisture.
