Aveda Botanical Repair Intensive Strengthening Masque Rich — Bond-Building Deep Conditioner for Medium to Thick Hair, 6.7 fl oz

This rich mask from Aveda delivers concentrated plant-derived lipids and restorative technologies to rebuild hair fiber where it’s most vulnerable. Formulated to target three structural layers of the strand—from the outer F-layer to the cortex—the masque helps improve manageability, softness, and shine while providing luxurious slip for easier detangling. Its formula is 94% naturally derived* and scented with Aveda’s Pure-Fume blend of organic ylang-ylang, rose, and marjoram.

How does this masque repair damaged hair?

The product uses plant-derived repair technologies to reconstruct weakened bonds and reinforce fiber integrity without harsh ingredients. It replenishes lipids and fills areas of damage to improve the hair’s surface and inner strength in one treatment.

• Targets three layers of hair structure, from the outer F-layer to the cortex
• Delivers 2X plant lipids plus added butters for deeper conditioning
• Provides slip for detangling to reduce breakage during styling

Will this rich formula weigh my hair down?

Designed specifically for medium to thick hair, the rich texture offers intensive nourishment without leaving hair greasy when used as directed. Those with finer hair should opt for the lighter version in the Botanical Repair range to avoid excess build-up.

• Rich, butter-enriched texture formulated for thicker strands
• Use the lighter masque version for fine or limp hair
• Rinse thoroughly after 2–5 minutes to preserve volume

How do I use the masque for best results?

Apply after shampooing to damp hair, smoothing through mid-lengths to ends to ensure even coverage. Leave it on for 2–5 minutes, then rinse completely; use weekly or as needed based on hair damage and styling frequency.

• Smooth through damp hair after shampooing for even distribution
• Leave on 2–5 minutes; longer for more intensive conditioning
• Rinse thoroughly and style as usual; repeat weekly or as needed

Who is this for: This intensive strengthening masque is ideal for people with medium to thick, chemically treated, heat-styled, or visibly damaged hair seeking a concentrated repair treatment.

Choose the lighter Botanical Repair Intensive Strengthening Masque Light if your hair is fine or easily weighed down. Aveda’s ethical credentials—vegan, Certified B Corp, and Leaping Bunny approved—also make this a suitable option for shoppers prioritizing cleaner beauty standards.
