Aveda Invati Ultra Thickening Conditioner Light, 33.8 fl oz — Lightweight botanical body & strength

This conditioner is the second step in Aveda’s Invati Ultra Advanced program and targets fragile, thinning strands without weighing hair down. Formulated for normal to oily scalps and fine to medium hair types, the Light version delivers botanical thickness and conditioning while supporting hair resilience after grooming. It contains 96% naturally derived ingredients and avoids many common synthetic additives, fitting into a cruelty-free, vegan haircare routine.

How does this conditioner make hair feel fuller right away?

The formula contains a botanical plumping blend that increases strand diameter from root to tip, giving hair a visibly thicker feel after rinsing. While instant thickening comes from lightweight botanical ingredients, cumulative benefits appear with continued use alongside the Invati Ultra shampoo and treatments.

• Botanical plumping blend adds temporary body and lift without heaviness.
• Light viscosity spreads easily for even coverage on fine hair.
• Rinses clean to maintain natural bounce and movement.

Will this help reduce hair loss from breakage?

When used as part of the complete Invati Ultra Advanced 4-step routine, clinical testing showed a reduction in hair loss due to breakage. The conditioner contributes by smoothing and detangling strands and strengthening fragile areas that are prone to snapping during grooming.

• Conditions and detangles to reduce tugging during combing.
• Helps fortify weakened fibers when paired with the scalp serum and leave-in treatment.
• Designed to complement the exfoliating shampoo’s root-level preparation.

How should I use this product for best results?

Apply to wet hair after cleansing with Invati Ultra Light Exfoliating Shampoo for optimal compatibility. Massage the conditioner through lengths and focus on areas that feel fragile, then rinse thoroughly. For a full protocol, follow with the Revitalizing Scalp Serum and Fortifying Leave-In Treatment.

• Use after the Light Exfoliating Shampoo for fine to medium hair types.
• Massage into wet hair and scalp; leave for a short moment if extra detangling is needed.
• Rinse and complete the routine with scalp serum and leave-in treatment.

Which ingredients are excluded and why does that matter?

The formula omits animal-derived ingredients, silicones, mineral oil, SLS/SLES, synthetic fragrance, parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, paraffin, and formaldehyde donors. Avoiding these components helps keep the conditioner lightweight and minimizes buildup—especially important for normal to oily scalps and fine hair types.

• Free from heavy silicones and mineral oils that can weigh fine hair down.
• No sulfates or harsh surfactants to prevent unnecessary dryness after shampooing.
• Vegan and Leaping Bunny approved for ethical and clean-beauty preferences.

Who is this for? Aveda Invati Ultra Advanced Thickening Conditioner Light is intended for people with fine to medium thinning hair and normal to oily scalps who want a non-heavy conditioner that detangles, adds visible thickness, and supports hair strength when used within the four-step Invati Ultra regimen. If your hair is medium to thick, consider the Rich version for deeper conditioning; otherwise, the Light formula offers targeted thickness without weighing hair down.
