Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Shampoo, 8.5 fl oz — Quinoa Protein, Repairs & Strengthens

This gentle shampoo is built to be the first step in restoring hair that has suffered breakage, split ends, or general weakening from heat styling and coloring. Formulated with quinoa protein to rebuild and babassu oil–derived cleansers to remove dirt and pollutants without stripping, it leaves hair smoother and more manageable. The bottle is vegan and produced by Aveda, a Certified B Corp committed to cleaner beauty formulations and ethical sourcing.

How quickly will I notice stronger-feeling hair?

Visible and tactile improvements vary by hair condition and frequency of use; many users report smoother, less-frizzy hair after a few washes when paired with the matching conditioner or intensive treatment. Shampooing rebuilds the hair surface each wash, while additional treatments intensify repair.

• Daily or regular use builds cumulative strength over weeks.
• Combine with Restructuring Conditioner for faster manageability.
• Use Intensive Restructuring Treatment weekly for deeper reconstruction.

What makes this shampoo gentle yet effective on damaged hair?

The formula uses a babassu oil–derived cleanser that lifts oils and pollutants without harsh sulfates, while quinoa protein helps fill and reinforce weakened areas of the hair fiber. It balances cleansing with conditioning to avoid over-drying fragile strands.

• 92% naturally derived ingredients per ISO 16128, from plants and non-petroleum minerals.
• No SLS/SLES, parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, or animal-derived ingredients.
• Designed to cleanse without stripping natural moisture or color-treated hair.

How should I use this shampoo for best results?

Apply on wet hair, massage to create a gentle lather, then rinse thoroughly—follow with Aveda Restructuring Conditioner or the Intensive Restructuring Treatment for added repair. Consistent use and using complementary products from the Damage Remedy line produce the most reliable rebuilding effect.

• Massage into scalp and mid-lengths; avoid over-applying at roots if hair is fine.
• Rinse and apply Restructuring Conditioner to seal and smooth the hair cuticle.
• Weekly: swap conditioner for the Intensive Restructuring Treatment for deeper repair.

Is this shampoo suitable for color-treated or chemically processed hair?

Yes—the formulation is crafted to be safe for hair that has undergone coloration or chemical services, offering cleansing and rebuilding without harsh detergents that can fade color. Still, pairing it with color-protecting products is recommended for prolonged vibrancy.

• Free from SLS/SLES and mineral oil, helping preserve treated hair.
• Quinoa protein supports the structure of chemically altered hair fibers.
• Follow with color-safe conditioner to maximize softness and shine.

Who is this for? Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Shampoo is designed for anyone with hair weakened by heat styling, chemical services, or frequent manipulation who wants a naturally derived, vegan shampoo that cleanses gently while supporting structural repair. It’s a strong option for people seeking salon-quality reconstruction at home, those prioritizing cleaner ingredient lists, and anyone looking to pair a repair-focused shampoo with targeted conditioners or treatments for fuller, smoother-looking hair.
