Naturally Straight Demo Q&A
Q: When is Smooth Infusion™ Naturally Straight going to be available?
A: Smooth Infusion™ Naturally Straight will be on counter June 1, 2014.
Q: If more tension were used on the hair, could you achieve smooth hair without using the flat iron?
A: Yes.
Q: If Smooth Infusion™ Naturally Straight straightens by plant fibers attaching to the hair shaft and making it harder for the hair to curl, over time will it cause buildup or thickening? Or if a more clarifying shampoo is used would that affect the performance?
A: It is true that the plant fibers attach to the surface of the hair. Remember that every time you shampoo, you remove a bit of product from the surface of the hair, so it is important to reapply every time you shampoo.
Q: Can you shampoo everyday when using this Smooth Infusion™ Naturally Straight?
A: Yes, the product remains in the hair until you remove it by shampooing.
Q: Is it okay to mix Smooth Infusion™ Style-Prep Smoother and Smooth Infusion™ Naturally Straight together and apply in a single step?
A: If you are using Smooth Infusion™ Style-Prep Smoother, apply that to the hair first. Follow with an application of Naturally Straight. This is best recommended for the guest who has a coily texture of hair.
Q: Does the Smooth Infusion™ Glossing Straightener get used at all with Smooth Infusion™ Naturally Straight?
A: Smooth Infusion™ Glossing Straightener is recommended for the guest who occasionally straightens their hair. Smooth Infusion™ Naturally Straight is recommended for the guest who straightens their hair on an every shampoo basis.
Q: Would you say Smooth Infusion™ Naturally Straight can replace the Demi Smoothing treatment?
A: This product would not replace the Demi Smoothing treatment. This is a great alternative for the guest who does not want to commit to a chemical relaxer. This is a styling product.
Q: Will you be able to wear hair with curls with a hot tool when using Smooth Infusion™ Naturally Straight?
A: You will not be able to wear curls when using Naturally Straight. The plant fibers attach to the hair to keep the straight style making it difficult to create curl.
Q: If a guest wants her curls or coils back will the hair be altered? For example will the curls be looser or will they bounce right back?
A: If the guest uses the product five consecutive times, it will take approximately three shampoos for their hair to revert back. The curl will fully revert back to its original state.
Q: Does Smooth Infusion™ Naturally Straight contain a thermal protectant?
A: Yes, wheat protein.
Q: Is Smooth Infusion™ Naturally Straight applied to sopping wet hair? Or damp hair?

Q: Over time will Smooth Infusion™ Naturally Straight make hair permanently looser?
A: Smooth Infusion™ Naturally Straight is a styling product designed to straighten curls with every use. It is not permanently altering the structure of the hair; this affects the outer surface of the hair only. You may go back to your curls at any time.
Q: Is Smooth Infusion™ Naturally Straight heat activated?
A: Yes, a blow dryer is required to help create the straight style. You may also use a flat-iron.
Q: Could Smooth Infusion™ Naturally Straight be marketed as an alternative, to chemical relaxing, especially to those guest wanting to transition back to natural hair?
A: This is a great product for the guest transitioning from a chemical relaxer to their natural hair.
Q: Can you use this product along with the daily home care products?
A: Yes we recommend the Smooth Infusion™ franchise.
Q: Is the trick that Tippi showed to estimate the amount of product used something you would say would be a good guesstimate for all products? Like shampoo, conditioner and treatments?
A: This is Tippi's technique for determining density. Aveda recommends you also take into account length of hair when determining how much product should be used.
Q: If someone only shampoos once a week, but rinses and conditions their hair in between... when would you use naturally straight?
A: Smooth Infusion™ Naturally Straight was designed for the guest who has curly hair but wears it straight on an every wash basis. The guest who wears curls would not be a Naturally Straight user.
Q: How many hours is the humidity defense?
A: All day humidity defense.
