Aveda Develops Game-Changing Care for Curls and Coils, Made for Real Life

Introducing NEW Aveda be curly advanced™

MINNEAPOLIS, April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Aveda, the purpose-driven pioneer of plant-powered, high-performance hair care, announces the launch of be curly advanced™, a game-changing new lineup of products created specifically for curls, coils and waves.

Be curly advanced™ was developed to provide powerful, plant-powered solutions that addresses the specific needs of curls, coils and waves. These new, silicone free formulas were made for performance with every product clinically tested across all key indicators of curl performance – frizz protection, hydration, strength, shine and definition – to deliver transformative results without compromise.

Christine Hall, Vice President of R&D at Aveda explains: "The Aveda Innovation team is always researching new actives to enhance our products. In our quest for stronger, healthier hair, we discovered the vegan curl-strengthening peptides. These remarkable peptides – derived from hydrolyzed pea protein and vegetable protein – owe their efficacy to the hydrolysis process, which breaks down these proteins into small, potent peptide components. The diminutive size of these peptides facilitates their penetration into the hair, delivering unparalleled strengthening benefits. Recognizing the inherent fragility of curly and coily hair, we harnessed the power of these peptides for our 'be curly advanced' line to help increase the strength of each strand. Combined with responsibly sourced kokum seed butter, which deeply nourishes and conditions curls and coils while also providing slip and detangling to help reduce breakage, these formulas ensure optimal care for naturally curly and coily hair types."

• 72-hour frizz protection in high humidity¹
• 92% more hydration²

Co-Created by Aveda's Global Texture Team & Scientists
Be curly advanced™ was co-developed for guests with curls, coils and waves, by expert artists and scientists who deeply understand texture. Aveda's global texture team is a team of artists who work to educate and redefine textured hair education; they champion hair inclusivity in cosmetology schools and salons around the world. When Aveda decided to embark on the development of a dedicated line for curls and coils, having these artists and scientists collaborating was essential to ensure the products would truly serve the hyper-specific needs of textured hair guests. It was the fusion of representative expertise - artists and scientists - who were determined to create breakthrough, high-performance formulas from the power of plants to provide a natural solution for this guest, the Aveda way.

"be curly advanced is a game changing line of products for Aveda because it was formulated with black and brown women in mind as the primary users, led by our head of R&D and myself – women who also have textured hair," said Renee Gadar, Global Artistic Director of Texture for Aveda. "Creating the collection through this lens and our experiences gave us insights we needed to ensure we could meet the very unique needs of our textured haired guests and deliver products that perform and make curl care easeful."

The products in the collection underwent rigorous testing on all types of textured hair, from 2A – 4C patterns, to ensure impeccable performance guests can count on. Aveda R&D and Aveda Texture Team Artists refined formulas over a 4-year period of trial and error to ensure efficacy, and outstanding results for curls, coils and waves.
