Aveda Color Control Conditioner for Color-Treated Hair — 33.8 fl oz, Silicone-Free, Color-Protecting Detangler

Aveda Color Control Conditioner is a silicone-free, 97% naturally derived formula that conditions, detangles, seals the cuticle, and helps preserve the vibrancy of color-treated hair.

Formulated to protect color-treated, highlighted, and chemically processed hair, this conditioner combines plant-based ingredients and Aveda’s Botanical Acid Complex to smooth the hair surface and lock in color. Lightweight apricot oil plus bio-fermented lactic acid help create shine and slip without silicones, while Aveda’s Pure-Fume aroma offers a natural scent experience. The 33.8 fl oz size is designed for regular at-home use or salon professionals seeking a larger bottle for repeated applications.

How does this conditioner help slow color fading?

The formula seals the hair cuticle and smooths the strand, which reduces pigment loss from friction and environmental exposure. Botanical extracts work with omega-9-rich apricot oil to maintain surface integrity so color reflects light more evenly.

• Seals cuticle to reduce pigment escape and fading
• Apricot oil nourishes without heavy buildup
• Botanical Acid Complex aids in surface smoothing for shine
• Silicone-free to avoid masking long-term color clarity

Will it detangle and protect hair from breakage?

Yes — the conditioner provides slip to ease combing and reduces mechanical stress during towel-dry and styling. Detangling lowers the chance of breakage, while conditioning agents help restore softness and manageability.

• Improves wet and dry comb-through to prevent snap and split ends
• Lightweight conditioning keeps hair flexible, not weighed down
• Supports hair resilience after color and chemical services

What makes this product natural or vegan-friendly?

Aveda Color Control Conditioner is 97% naturally derived per ISO 16128 and formulated without animal-derived ingredients, silicones, parabens, phthalates, SLS/SLES, mineral oil, and synthetic fragrance. It aligns with Aveda’s vegan standards and certifications for environmentally minded consumers.

• Plant and water-based ingredients form the majority of the formula
• Free from common synthetic additives that can build up on hair
• Certified cruelty-free practices and B Corp status under Aveda

How should it be used for best results?

Apply after shampooing, distribute through mid-lengths to ends, leave on briefly for added slip and conditioning, then rinse. For longer-lasting color, pair with Aveda Color Control Shampoo and Leave-In Treatment and limit excessive heat styling and harsh clarifying products.

• Use with Color Control Shampoo for a complete regimen
• Concentrate on ends and areas prone to dryness or fading
• Rinse and follow with heat protection when styling

Who is this for: Aveda Color Control Conditioner is suited for anyone with color-treated, highlighted, or chemically processed hair who wants a silicone-free option that conditions, detangles, and helps maintain color vibrancy with naturally derived ingredients. It’s especially useful for people who prefer plant-based formulations, salon-sized packaging, and a subtle, botanically derived scent while avoiding heavy silicones and common synthetic additives.
