Would never have gone for this product had my stylist not used it on me. My go-to hairstyle is big, voluminous, Victoria's Secret curls. Sometimes the curls come out too round or homogenous. A dab...

Love this on wet curly hair - adds a lot of curl definition and a not a lot of oil (Control Paste, Im talking to you). I use Be Curly Lotion, Confixor, then this Defining Whip..... scrunch!!

Love, love, love this product. I think I'm addicted to aveda! I don't agree with other reviewers who said this has no hold- it does have some light hold which is why I like it. It also adds some...

I think it smells great, but that is about it. Absolutely NO hold at all, not light, not a little, nothing. I really don't understand what the purpose is, but it was a total waste of $24 for me.

I really like this product so far. It lightly defines my super-fine short hair without weighing it down or making it greasy. I have a chin length bob with bangs that I first blow dry. Then, I...

I like this a lot for scrunching through my shoulder-length wavy hair (I use it when my hair's wet...Haven't tried it on dry hair, as the Aveda website recommends). It gives me great-looking waves...

I love this stuff for giving some matte texture to my short hair. Smells nice and it doesn't creep onto my face and make it oily.

I've had my jar of whip for a few years and it still works (and still smells pretty good). Perfect for styling a short, cute haircut, especially when going out on the town.
