Aveda Be Curly Curl Enhancer
Average member rating
We curly people are special. We can't cope with humidity. We can't run into the 7-Eleven after a day at the beach and not scare the clerk. Help can be found in this mid-weight curl-defining lotion, which consolidates smaller curls into smoother, defined sections. As hair dries, a wheat protein/aloe mix contracts to hold curls together, lessening unruly frizz. For styling structure or hold, you'll need to add a product. Ditto for shine enhancement.

Controlled frizz but did not define curls as I'd hoped
by lwoodlaw (44 reviews)
After I read the product review in Allure I ran straight to the salon to purchase this product. I have VERY thick, coarse, curly hair.

After I read the product review in Allure I ran straight to the salon to purchase this product. I have VERY thick, coarse, curly hair. This did help with frizz to a great extent and added shine as well, but I definately did not get the curl definition from it that I'd hoped for. If anything, my curls looked a bit limp. I don't think it's because I used too much of the product because I used it several times, experimenting with various amounts, and always got the same results. I gave a sample of it to a friend to try and she wasn't delighted either. I won't buy this again. November 29, 2007, 10:12 am

Not so sure about Be Curly
by dlsellers (5 reviews)While the smell was fresh and appealing, I felt this product actually made my wavy-to-curly hair more frizzy. And, though this used to be an unusual result with Aveda, I believe this product irritated my skin, making my head itch. Not what I expect from Aveda, for sure.

Just okay!!!
by rlcarson (2 reviews)Aveda Be Curly is a good product but it doesn't provide the moisture and definition that my holy grail product does. Also, the smell is overpowering and unfortunately does not decrease throughout the day. I will probably not buy it again. May 20, 2008, 8:43 am2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Not worth it.
by RWilliams (19 reviews)
Be Curly made my hair feel soft, but it didn't hold my curls together very well at all. Plus, it kept frizzy curls under control for a little while, but seemed to wear off throughout the day. For the price, this is not worth it. February 3, 2008, 7:07 pm2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I have tried EVERYTHING that has been made and I always go back to this product. It takes away frizz, it makes my curls big and thick instead of frizzy, thin, and wispy. With this product I never have to use anything else. This is all my hair needs. This is my life saver! I cannot do without this product!! December 11, 2007, 5:58 am

LOVE THIS!

I have curly hair, but being an in-between curly I have a hard time finding products that actually make my hair look great. This works on everything from spiral curls to looser curls like my own.

good stuff!
by Squidflower (53 reviews)
I like this product for my wavy thick hair. I understandthat is is part of a system, but this is all I have used and it is enough. It is excellent for taming the frizz that the Georgia humidty brings with it and that is wht I use it for . June 2, 2008, 9:04 pm1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Very heavy

I did not like this product. It did not give my hair any extra curl and made it feel greasy. June 2, 2008, 10:12 am1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Aveda Be Curly Curl Enhancer
by grannyhoff (26 reviews)
This has been a lifesaver for me. I cannot afford to get a perm as often as I would like, but this product saves the day. When I use it, it refreshes what perm I have left and my hair doesn't go limp as fast. I would rate this product higher if I didn't have to add other products for shine.
