Sometimes it’s not just about the latest trend — it’s
about taking a cue from the natural beauty around
you . T he pr a i r ie w here we shot t h i s c ol le c t ion
couldn’t have been a more perfect place for that,
blooming with all kinds of interesting wildf lowers
and buzzing with bees, butterf lies and dragonf lies.
Our time off-the-grid felt almost magical, creating a sense
of freedom and ease that translated to each look. Hair is
as cool, breezy and varied as the plants of the prairie with
sleek and choppy bobs, tousled waves, edgy textured layers
and larger-than-life ’70s-inspired curls. Blonde is having a
moment too, but this time it’s refined to be just the right
tone for you, and makeup is soft and natural with vibrant
wildflower pops of color here and there. Whether you
feel like channeling your inner rock star, bombshell or
flower child, there’s a bit of something for everyone here.
It wasn’t only the prairie’s beauty that drew us there. Native
tallgrass prairie is becoming increasingly rare, and so are
all the wild bees who live there and pollinate such a lovely
abundance of blooms. We hope these images inspire you — not only to experiment with some beautiful new looks,
but to protect the world you live in and the creatures who
live in it too, because nothing is more beautiful than that.

things and feel very different to different people.”

We shot this collection on a Minnesota prairie — not only
because of its raw, natural beauty — but to raise awareness
about the simple actions we can all take to help bees and
other pollinators thrive. A haven for pollinators, native
tallgrass prairie is one of the most endangered habitats,
with only 4% remaining in North America. Habitat loss
like this, along with widespread use of pesticides and
other harsh chemicals, are part of a complex array of
issues causing bee populations to dramatically decline.

Just like bees need a wealth of flowers, we also need a wealth
of bees! Their pollination lets us enjoy an abundance
of flowers, fruits, nuts, vegetables and healing herbs. In
fact, they generate 1 out of every 3 bites of food we eat.

While our network’s efforts have helped fund several
habitat restoration projects, we are also restoring part
of the 58 acres of Certified Wildlife Habitat® housing
Aveda’s headquarters to native tallgrass prairie. This
provides friendly flowers for wild bees and our own
honeybee colonies, which we care for according to holistic
principles focusing purely on the colonies’ survival.
We love our bees!
B E E A H E RO. TAK E AC TION!
Plant a diverse array of native, pesticide-free
flowers in your garden or window box.
Purchase certified organic produce whenever possible.
Avoid using pesticides, herbicides and other toxic household chemicals.
Allow parts of your yard to “just bee.” Brush piles,
stumps and logs provide nice nests for bees.

the Pollinators Campaign and spread the word!
