Aveda Color Control Conditioner for Color-Treated Hair, 6.7 fl oz — Silicone-Free, Adds Shine

Aveda Color Control Conditioner is a silicone-free, 97% naturally derived formula that conditions, detangles, and helps lock in color while adding shine.

This lightweight conditioner is designed for color-treated and chemically processed hair, using plant-powered ingredients to smooth the cuticle and reduce fading without weighing strands down. Infused with omega-9 rich apricot oil and Aveda’s Botanical Acid Complex, it helps restore surface shine and manageability. The scent profile blends osmanthus with certified organic orange, cypress, cedarwood and other plant essences known as Aveda’s Pure-Fume aroma.

How does this conditioner help preserve hair color?

The formula focuses on sealing the hair cuticle to slow color loss and protect pigments from daily wear. Instead of heavy silicones, it relies on naturally derived emollients and acids that smooth the hair surface so light reflects evenly, preserving vibrancy.

• Contains Botanical Acid Complex to smooth and seal cuticle scales
• Apricot oil (omega-9) adds surface shine that enhances color depth
• Silicone-free blend avoids buildup that can dull color over time
• Safe for dyed, highlighted, and chemically treated hair

Will it detangle and reduce breakage without weighing hair down?

Yes—this conditioner detangles and conditions with a lightweight feel so hair becomes easier to comb and style. The formula helps prevent mechanical damage while leaving strands soft rather than heavy or coated.

• Conditions cuticle for smoother combing and fewer breakages
• Non-greasy, silicone-free texture preserves natural movement
• Suitable for fine to thick textures, including curly and straight hair

What are the key ingredients and what do they do?

Key actives combine plant-derived oils and acids to condition, add shine, and support color retention. The product is 97% naturally derived per ISO 16128, formulated without common synthetic additives and animal-derived ingredients.

• Apricot oil (omega-9) for nourishing shine and surface smoothing
• Botanical Acid Complex to help seal and align the cuticle
• Pure-Fume aroma of osmanthus, organic orange, cypress and cedarwood
• Free from silicones, parabens, phthalates, SLS/SLES, and animal-derived ingredients

How should I use Aveda Color Control Conditioner for best results?

Apply to freshly shampooed, towel-dried hair, focusing on mid-lengths to ends, then comb through and rinse. For enhanced color maintenance, use it along with Aveda Color Control Shampoo and the Color Control Leave-In Treatment, choosing light or rich strengths depending on your color and hair density.

• Use after Color Control Shampoo for a complete routine
• Work through lengths with fingers or a wide-tooth comb to detangle
• Rinse thoroughly to avoid any residue and maintain lightweight feel
