For Him: Aveda Men Pure-Formance Grooming Cream

“A little dab will do you” is certainly the adage that comes to mind when describing how to best use the Aveda Men Pure-Formance™ Grooming Cream.  One of a handful of products from the Pure-Formance line, which also includes shampoo, conditioner, grooming clay, and aftershave, the Grooming Cream has an incredibly light, pliable texture with a zesty mint aroma that our Fashion Pulse Man declares as smelling “really fresh and awesome.”

The fragrance includes a combination of aromas that can take on a unisex flare, such as citrus and certified organic essential oils of spearmint, vetiver, and lavender. It works equally well on fine, as well as thick curly (unruly) hair, adds a tiny bit of shine, as well as weightless, effortless hold sans the stickiness of other similar products. Plus, if you really really love it, through Aveda.com you can sign up for a replenishment service that will deliver more Grooming Cream to your door every 30, 45, 60, 75. 90, or 120 days (or you can make a one-time purchase).

The Yves Durif Experience

[My “before” shots]
I hate to say that I give up, as I’m certainly not a quitter,  but have rather come to an understanding when it comes to styling my hair. No matter how much styling or product or attention I lavish upon it, it will just do what it wants, which is become limp and poke straight, as soon as possible, The only bit of hope that I have that I learned last week is the benefit of a really good haircut, as executed by Yves Durif at the Yves Durif Salon in The Carlyle on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

Not only is Yves a maestro with the scissors, but he really understands a customer’s face, personality, and lifestyle immediately, which combined, results in an incredibly perfect cut. My hangups were that I have a slight cowlick in the front, been trying to grow my hair, and didn’t want a bob, as it is my Mom’s signature style (love you Mom, but we already look identical).

Yves worked within these parameters, gave me options, and decided together on a hybrid of a cool shag and a long bob. He also artfully reworked my bangs via shortening them a tad more on the left, in order to open up my face a bit more. The result? As you can see below, a little goes a long way, and it is a great improvement! With styling tips from Jessica and few highlights from David framing my face, I feel renewed in my quest to make my hair my own, instead of letting it dictate its fate.

Of course, I strongly recommend going to see Yves at his salon; he also uses Aveda and Phyto products exclusively, even with color, which gives a nice boost to the already gorgeous salon atmosphere via these natural yet effective products.

It will include products from brands like La Mer, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, Jo Malone, Aveda, Bumble + Bumble, Lab Series, Origins and many more. We chose to highlight just a few:

This exclusive Pink Shimmer Brick Compact by Bobbi Brown is deliciously alluring. Hand-made in Italy, each compact contains five blocks of radiant color, perfect for creating a fresh pink glow.
