Aveda Cherry Almond Softening Conditioner — 6.7 fl oz for Normal to Dry Hair, Silicone-Free, Coconut & Shea Nourish

Aveda Cherry Almond Softening Conditioner is a 98% naturally derived, silicone-free conditioner that softens, detangles and adds shine to normal to dry hair while leaving a sweet, floral-fruity aroma.

Designed to restore slip and manageability, this lightweight cream blends cherry blossom extract, certified organic coconut oil, sweet almond oil and shea butter to nourish strands from roots to ends. The formula avoids silicones, parabens, mineral oil and other common synthetic ingredients, and is scented with Aveda’s signature mix of 38 flower and plant essences including tonka bean, organic orange and ylang ylang for a bright, indulgent finish.

How does this conditioner make detangling easier?

The conditioner increases slip so combs and fingers glide through hair with less pulling. Emollients like sweet almond oil and shea butter coat the hair cuticle to smooth rough areas and reduce friction, making wet detangling gentler and faster.

• Contains smoothening agents: sweet almond oil and shea butter
• Improves comb glide for faster detangling
• Lightweight feel without silicone buildup
• Works well on long and layered hair to prevent snagging

Will this make my hair feel greasy or heavy?

Formulated for normal to dry hair, it delivers moisture without weighing strands down when used as directed. The balance of coconut oil and plant-derived ingredients provides softness and shine while rinsing cleanly, so hair stays touchable rather than oily.

• Light, creamy texture that rinses out
• 98% naturally derived formula for a cleaner finish
• Silicone-free to avoid residue buildup
• Suitable for daily or occasional conditioning depending on hair needs

Is this safe for color-treated or chemically processed hair?

The gentle, silicone-free formula focuses on moisturization and smoothing without harsh sulfates or parabens, making it compatible with many color-treated routines. For best color longevity, pair with Aveda color-safe shampoo and avoid high-heat styling immediately after treatment.

• No sulfates (SLS/SLES) that can strip color
• Free from parabens, phthalates and mineral oil
• Designed to nourish rather than chemically alter hair
• Works alongside salon color care when used regularly

What scent and sensory experience should I expect?

You’ll notice a joyful, sweet aroma that blends cherry-inspired notes with Aveda’s floral and plant essences. The fragrance lifts the routine with bright top notes of orange and a warm tonka bean base while ylang ylang adds floral richness.

• Iconic cherry-almond bouquet with fruity and floral layers
• 38 plant and flower essences for a complex scent profile
• Scented with natural and botanically derived extracts
• Part of a matching Cherry Almond body and hair collection

Who is this for: This conditioner suits anyone with normal to dry hair looking for a plant-forward, silicone-free option that improves detangling and softness while providing a memorable, fruity-floral fragrance. It’s particularly helpful for longer or layered hair that needs slip for easy combing, and for shoppers who prefer formulas made primarily from naturally derived ingredients.
