Expert Tips from Venelle Salon & Spa on Balancing Moisturizing and Volumizing Products

Using multiple haircare products can unlock amazing results — but layering them wrong can leave your hair greasy, flat, or weighed down. At Venelle Salon & Spa in Brooklyn, we guide you on how to expertly combine your favorite Aveda products to nourish, protect, and style your hair while maintaining natural volume and bounce.

Follow these simple tips to get the most out of your Aveda routine, whether you have fine, thick, curly, or straight hair.

1. Understand Your Hair Type and Needs

Before layering, identify your hair’s unique characteristics and concerns:

• Fine or oily hair needs lightweight hydration and volume-boosting formulas.

• Thick, coarse, or dry hair benefits from richer moisturizers and smoothing products.

• Curly hair often requires a mix of hydration and frizz control without heaviness.

Knowing your hair type helps you choose the right Aveda products and avoid overload.

2. Start with the Right Shampoo and Conditioner

Your base layer sets the tone:

• Use Aveda Rosemary Mint Shampoo or Be Curly Shampoo for volume and scalp clarity.

• Choose Nutriplenish Light Moisture Conditioner for lightweight hydration or Damage Remedy Restructuring Conditioner for repair and moisture.

Avoid heavy conditioners on fine hair—opt for those labeled “light” or “volumizing.”

3. Apply Leave-In Treatments Strategically

When using multiple styling products, layer from lightest to heaviest:

• Start with a lightweight leave-in like Aveda Nutriplenish Leave-In Conditioner for moisture without weight.

• Follow with a volumizing spray such as Aveda Phomollient Styling Foam at the roots to add lift.

• Use smoothing or anti-frizz products (like Smooth Infusion™ Style-Prep) sparingly on mid-lengths and ends.

Applying heavier products only where needed (mostly ends) prevents limp roots.

4. Use Styling Products Sparingly for Maximum Effect

Less is more when layering:

• Apply mousse, volumizers, and heat protectants in small amounts. Overuse can cause buildup and heaviness.

• For fine hair, focus volumizing products on the roots and avoid thick creams near the scalp.

• Curly and thick hair can tolerate more moisturizing creams but still benefit from targeted application.

5. Incorporate Heat Protection Last

Before using heat tools, finish your layering with a heat protectant like Aveda Smooth Infusion™ Style-Prep. This product shields hair from damage and helps seal the cuticle for shine without extra weight.

6. Adjust Based on Weather and Hair Condition

• On humid days, use lighter anti-frizz products and volumizers to keep hair bouncy.

• In dry or cold weather, incorporate richer moisturizing products but still avoid applying too close to roots.

Pro Tips from Venelle Salon & Spa Stylists

• Always apply products to damp hair to help even distribution.

• Let leave-ins and treatments absorb before adding styling products.

• Use a wide-tooth comb or fingers to distribute products gently without causing breakage.
