BikeStyle Tour 2010 AVEDA

Helmet hair and sweat: two of the most popular style related reasons people choose not to ride their bike to work. Unfortunately, a good workout and a reduced carbon footprint doesn’t offset a funky odour and a frizzy do. With the help of eco-conscious beauty brand, AVEDA, here are some tips and tricks to keep you clean and coiffed post-commute.

Ladies:

1. Make flat look sleek

Embrace sleek hair styles this fall. A smooth low pony tail is easy and sophisticated. Run Aveda Light Elements Smoothing Fluid through hair and tie it back into a ponytail. You’ll add shine tame flyaways with one simple step.

2. Biker Ballerina

Whatever was hiding under that helmet can easily be swept up into a high bun. Use a firm hold hair spray like Aveda Control Force to keep stray hairs in check.

3. Before and after braid

No time after your ride to touch up your hair? A low, side braid is both practical and chic and fits nicely under the helmet. Prep hair with a shake of Aveda Pure Abundance Hair Potion to soak up excess oil and add matte texture.

4. Fight frizz before it begins

A squirt of Aveda Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener in wet hair can lessen frizzies if you air dry or eliminate them completely if you blowdry it with a paddle brush.

Gentlemen:

1. Be Minty Fresh

Aveda’s Rosemary Mint Bath Bar has time-release aroma of certified organic rosemary and peppermint that lingers long after your shower. Mint’s invigorating properties will wake you up and put some pep in your step for your morning commute.

2. Be a boy scout

If you bike to work everyday, packing a change of clothes is a no brainer. Don’t leave home without some Aveda Men Pure-Formance Firm Hold Gel or Liquid Pomade as well. Don’t want to bring a whole gallon of gel with you? Squirt some product into a small, reusable travel bottle.

3. Manhandled

Don’t shake hands at your morning meeting with dry, wind burned hands.

Stow away a rich, non-greasy formula like Aveda Hand Relief in your bag.

4. Compose yourself

Not a hair gel kinda guy? 2-3 drops of Aveda Men Pure-Formance Composition, a blend of essential oils will soothe and rejuvenate the scalp, body and hair will leave you feeling good…and more importantly, smelling great. Men’s Composition also doubles as massage oil.
