Aveda Botanical Repair Bond-Building Masque Light — Lightweight Deep Conditioner for Fine to Medium Hair

This concentrated yet airy treatment uses plant-derived technologies to rebuild damaged hair from the outer F-layer down to the cortex, offering visible improvement after a single application. Formulated to detangle and provide luxurious slip without weighing hair down, the masque is 98% naturally derived* and free from silicones, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, and synthetic fragrances. It also features Aveda’s Pure-Fume aroma—organic ylang-ylang, rose, marjoram, and other botanical essences—for a sensorial finish.

How does this masque repair hair without feeling heavy?

The formula targets three layers of the hair fiber to rebuild internal bonds while using lightweight conditioning agents that won’t flatten fine strands. Slip-rich emollients detangle cuticles so combing causes less friction and breakage.

• Bond-building technology repairs from F-layer to cortex.
• Weightless conditioning designed for fine to medium textures.
• Detangling properties reduce mechanical damage during styling.
• Luxurious slip ensures even distribution and easy rinsing.

When and how should I use this treatment for best results?

Use the masque after shampooing on damp hair for a quick boost of repair and hydration. Apply through mid-lengths to ends, leave on for 2–5 minutes depending on need, then rinse thoroughly for immediate softness and shine.

• Apply after cleansing to towel-dried hair.
• Leave on 2–5 minutes — longer only if recommended by your stylist.
• Rinse thoroughly and style as usual; ideal as a weekly intensive or as-needed pick-me-up.
• Works well under heat for professional salon treatments (follow stylist guidance).
