Aveda has launched its Autumn/Winter 2024 Details Trend Collection by a team of global Aveda artists from around the world, a tribute to the nuanced artistry and technical mastery that defines each cut, color and style, showcasing looks and tones desirable for the season.

The team of Aveda artists believes that beauty lies beyond the perimeter of a haircut and the broad strokes of a color brush. Instead, it’s found in the details—the internal layers, dimensions, undertones, personal touches and craft of artistry revealed by the wave of a heat wand or the clamp of an iron.

Details is a celebration of the subtleties of its living canvases and the technical intricacies each artist contributed to create the final masterpiece. It represents the symbiotic relationship among cut, color and style and the importance of meticulous attention to every guest experience.

Each look featured in the Details Collection is trend-forward and tailored to what consumers and style enthusiasts are seeking this season.

To craft each look, the artists used the full array of Aveda Full Spectrum fully customizable color and included Botanical Repair Professional Hair Strengthening Additive and Botanical Repair Strengthening Shampoo and Strengthening Conditioner along with Color Control Leave-In Treatment to maintain hair strength, integrity and color.

For styling, high-performing products like Botanical Repair Bond-Building Styling Creme and new Be Curly Advanced Curl Enhancer Cream and Curl Perfecting Primer were favorites to achieve desired looks along with Pure Abundance Style-Prep and Invati Ultra Advanced Thickening Foam and Air Control Light Hold Hair Spray.
