I use this product with conjuction to Aveda's Hang Straight. I mix them together, apply to damp hair, and use a diffuser to achieve a head full of touchable waves. Saddly it's been...

The lotion is milky, light and smells well. It also does not leave any greasy residuals but then again it doesn't really do much. It somewhat de-frizzes my thin/wavy hair, but not enough for me not...

I don't really know how to describe this...its a thin lotion texture, it has a bit of stick to it, but barely...not really shine enhancing, not really anything! It smoothes mild flyaways on a...

I agree with the previous reviewer-- I was conned into buying this a while back at Aveda (damn licorce tea!). He said it works great on days when you don't have time to shower, or when you go to...

What is this supposed to do? I was sold this to accompany the Light Elements Smoothing Fluid, which I love for smoothing on wet hair, but the Finishing Solution seemed kind of pointless to me. It...

I was hoping to find my HG smoothing product here, but nope. I have medium-length fine, straight hair & no matter how I apply this, it just makes my hair too soft (and/or dirty looking) & does NOT...

A totally bizarre product which left me baffled - was it supposed to do anything? - because it didnt! An expensive mistake... It looks like it works for some, but not on my fine frizzy hair!

I like a lot of the Aveda hair products, but this one is not a winner for me. When I tried to use it on my hair after it was dry it made it sticky and greasy looking - like I hadn't washed it at...

This works best when I use it on semi-dried hair in small amounts. Does what its supposed to do that way. plus, I just don't like the lavender smell in this. A good thing is that it rinses out...

Thank goodness the saleslady gave me this trial size for free because I can put in a pinch or a pound and the effect is nil. So much money for so few results. Although it was great at aggravating...

I'm running late (story of my life, lol) and there is no time to shampoo. I search desperately for a way to tame the greasies, smooth my hair and still keep it soft. Voila! That is where this...

After making the mistake of buying the Detailing Mist-Wax in this same line, I went back to the store and was turned on to the Finishing Solution. I love this product. It provides nice light and...

Good styling product which does not weigh down fine hair. Makes it feel very soft and adds shine. Also smells really nice (like lavender) like most Aveda products.

This was a passable styling product. I don't use it often, only sometimes after I straighten my hair. I like how it holds the style in place and gives my hair a shiney look, but I don't like the...

I like this, but I have to use it as it is called 'finishing'- AFTER blowdrying. If I use it before I end up with static, which is weird. After blowdrying and/or flatironing, it is a great...

ugh! This made my hair into an instant flat greaseball! I had to wash my hair after putting this in because it made it soooo limp and greasy. Gross!
