Im obsessed with Avedas Daily Hair Repair.

It is a weightless foam and can be used with other styling products to achieve your desired look.
It is alsovegan and cruelty-free, as well as paraben and sulfate-free.

I recommend this for all hair types.
This redefining anti-frizz hair cream gives your hairstyle memory and hold.
It also has a 450-degree thermo-protection.
It tames frizzy hair for a shiny finish and sleek blow-dry.
Results include a natural feel and long-lasting hold, Toth says.
