Aveda Invati Ultra Revitalizing Scalp Serum — 5 fl oz, Step 3 for Thinning Hair, Strengthening & Antioxidant Protection

Aveda Invati Ultra Advanced Revitalizing Scalp Serum is a leave-in scalp serum that helps strengthen thinning hair and create a healthier follicle environment as Step 3 in the Invati Ultra 4-step system.

Designed as the third step in Aveda's Invati Ultra Advanced routine, this revitalizing scalp serum combines a plant-based follicle vitality complex—eclipta, alpinia and ginger—with antioxidant action to help protect the scalp from external aggressors and boost follicle energy. The formula is 98% naturally derived* and free from silicones, parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrance and several other common additives. Use it after the exfoliating shampoo and thickening conditioner, and follow with the Fortifying Leave-In Treatment for a complete regimen.

How does this serum help thinning hair?

The serum targets the scalp environment to support stronger, more resilient hair strands. It works through a triple-action approach: neutralizing oxidative stressors, strengthening and protecting hair fibers, and invigorating the scalp for improved follicle conditions.

• Follicle vitality complex: eclipta, alpinia and ginger to support scalp health.
• Antioxidant action: helps reduce damaging oxidative stressors on scalp and hair.
• Strengthening benefit: formulated to improve resilience of hair prone to breakage.
• Leave-in application: no rinse required — designed for daily use within the 4-step system.

What results can I expect and from which test?

In a repeat grooming test on tresses using the complete Invati Ultra Advanced 4-step system, hair loss due to breakage was reduced by 77%. Results reported relate to the four-product routine: exfoliating shampoo, thickening conditioner, revitalizing scalp serum and fortifying leave-in treatment.

• Test type: repeat grooming on tresses, measuring breakage-related loss.
• Reported outcome: 77% reduction in hair loss due to breakage when using the full 4-step system.
• Product role: this serum is Step 3, intended to be used with Steps 1, 2 and 4 for that tested outcome.

How do I apply the Invati Ultra Revitalizing Scalp Serum?

Apply the serum directly to the scalp by lifting hair in sections to ensure even coverage, then gently massage it in. It is a leave-in formula—do not rinse—and should be followed by the Fortifying Leave-In Treatment to complete the routine.

• Section hair and apply directly to scalp across the entire head.
• Gently massage to distribute; do not rinse out.
• Use daily as part of the Invati Ultra 4-step system for best compatibility.

Is the formula natural and what does it omit?
