Customer Reviews of Aveda Light Elements Defining Whip 4.1 oz
Customer Review: Not bad, but nothing special
Summary: 3 Stars
I was persuaded to buy this at my local salon, figuring I'd give it a try since the stylist had used it on my hair; it seemed like a promising product. First thing I found kind of hard to ignore was the price tag - at around $24 it's not cheap! (Then again AVEDA products never are, right?) I bought it anyway. This 'Defining Whip' appealed to me because the name implies a lightweight, natural hold. The packaging is fine, although it's kind of messy and unsanitary to have it in a pot (as opposed to a pump or squeeze bottle). The scent is pretty strong, almost overpowering. It smells intensely of lavender, but it may not bother some people. All AVEDA products smell extremely herbal, so you have to like that because it does linger. The consistency is very nice - creamy (yet not greasy-feeling) and 'whipped' as indicated. I had hoped that using this to separate my layers and define my ends would give me that coveted 'my-hair-just-looks-incredible-without-any-effort-at-all' look. Unfortunately the reality of the situation left me underwhelmed. While it did seem to give my layered style some definition, it did not hold the look for longer than, I'd say, about an hour. It also was not as "weightless" as I'd have preferred. By the end of the day, my hair felt heavy and sticky even. I wash my hair every other day, and I found it difficult not to shampoo before going to bed because my hair felt 'icky.' I've used this on my hair when it was both very short and quite long - it seemed to do more for my shorter hair. I think this product might be workable for a choppy pixie cut, or even a graduated bob style. But I wouldn't personally recommend it for hair that's any longer than shoulder length, because it does weigh it down. I should point out that my natural hair texture is thick, wavy, and somewhat coarse (typical Asian hair) and I'm admittedly not much of a 'product' person. Still, I wasn't impressed with this particular product.
