Aveda Damage Remedy Intensive Restructuring Treatment – 5 fl oz, Quinoa Protein & Jojoba for Damaged Hair

Aveda Damage Remedy Intensive Restructuring Treatment is a weekly, protein-rich deep conditioner designed to strengthen and visibly smooth hair weakened by physical or chemical damage.

This intensive treatment combines quinoa protein and lipid-rich organic jojoba and castor oils in a 98% naturally derived* formula to help reinforce hair structure from roots to ends. Developed to work as a focused repair step in your routine, it targets strands that are brittle, rough, or stressed from heat styling, coloring, or environmental wear. Aveda’s Pure-Fume aroma provides a light, botanical scent experience without synthetic fragrance ingredients.

How quickly will I notice smoother, stronger-feeling hair?

Results depend on hair condition and how consistently you use the treatment. Many users report improved softness and easier detangling after the first weekly use, while cumulative strengthening develops over repeated applications as protein and lipids help rebuild compromised areas.

• Use once a week after shampooing for immediate smoothing in 2–5 minutes.
• Quinoa protein works on the hair’s structure to reduce roughness and breakage over time.
• Regular weekly use supports ongoing recovery when paired with Damage Remedy shampoo and Daily Hair Repair.

What makes this treatment different from a regular conditioner?

This product is an intensive restructuring mask rather than a daily conditioner: it delivers concentrated protein and lipids to weakened hair sites and is formulated to stay on the shaft longer to penetrate and reinforce. It’s intended as a targeted weekly step for damaged hair rather than daily maintenance.

• Higher concentration of quinoa protein and restorative lipids than rinse-out conditioners.
• Lipid-rich organic jojoba and castor oils help support the hair’s natural defense against new damage.
• Short, focused leave-in time (2–5 minutes) for practical weekly use.

How should I use it for best results and what pairs well with it?

Apply to freshly shampooed, damp hair from roots to ends, leave for 2–5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. For an integrated repair routine, follow with Daily Hair Repair for ongoing protection and use Damage Remedy shampoo to maintain cleaner, more resilient strands between treatments.

• Smooth evenly through damp hair after shampooing; rinse after 2–5 minutes.
• Follow with Aveda Daily Hair Repair to seal and protect results.
• Use weekly; increase frequency only if recommended by a stylist for severe damage.
