Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Conditioner — 6.7 fl oz | Quinoa protein repairs, strengthens & detangles damaged hair

Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Conditioner is a daily conditioner formulated with quinoa protein to help repair, detangle, and strengthen hair that’s been weakened by heat and chemical styling.

This lightweight rinse-out conditioner is the second step in Aveda’s repair routine and is 96% naturally derived* under ISO 16128. It focuses on areas of hair weakened by styling and treatments, smoothing strands for improved manageability without weighing hair down. The formula avoids animal-derived ingredients, mineral oil, sulfates (SLS/SLES), synthetic fragrances, parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, paraffin, and formaldehyde donors.

How does this conditioner help hair damaged by heat and color?

The conditioner uses quinoa protein to penetrate and target fragile areas, reinforcing the hair’s surface to reduce the chance of breakage during wet combing and styling. It detangles to make brushing easier and leaves a softer, more resilient feel after rinsing.

• Quinoa protein helps strengthen and fill weakened hair cuticles.
• Intense detangling reduces mechanical breakage when combing.
• Lightweight formulation avoids buildup on finer strands.
• Suitable after chemical or heat processes as part of a repair routine.

What’s the right way to use Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Conditioner?

Use after cleansing with a restructuring or gentle shampoo, applying evenly through damp hair from roots to ends. Leave on briefly to allow the formula to work, then rinse thoroughly and follow with a leave-in if additional protection is needed.

• Start with Restructuring Shampoo or another gentle Aveda cleanser.
• Smooth conditioner through damp hair; do not overload the scalp area.
• Rinse until water runs clear; follow with Daily Hair Repair for leave-in protection.
• Use daily or as directed based on damage severity and hair type.

Is this product safe for color-treated or chemically processed hair?

Yes—formulated without harsh sulfates and many common additives, the conditioner is designed to be gentle on color-treated and chemically processed hair. It focuses on improving texture and manageability while helping reduce mechanical damage from brushing and styling.

• Sulfate-free (no SLS/SLES) to minimize stripping of color.
• Free from parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances.
• Supports smoother, shinier-looking hair after professional services.
• Pairs well with Aveda’s other repair products for a full regimen.

What are the key ingredients and environmental considerations?

The formula is 96% naturally derived* according to ISO 16128, drawing from plants, non-petroleum minerals, and water. Quinoa protein is the active repair-focused ingredient; the product is also vegan, cruelty-free, and produced by a Certified B Corp.
