Aveda Invati Ultra Advanced Thickening Conditioner Light — 1.3 fl oz for Fine-to-Medium Hair, Normal to Oily Scalp

Aveda Invati Ultra Advanced Thickening Conditioner Light is a lightweight, plant-forward conditioner formulated to detangle, visibly plump fine-to-medium thinning hair and help strengthen fragile strands.

This step-two conditioner is designed to work within the Invati Ultra Advanced 4-step system to support hair that is prone to breakage and reduced density. The formula features a botanical plumping blend and is 96% naturally derived, created for normal to oily scalps and fine to medium hair textures. Free from silicones, parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrance and other selected ingredients, it rinses clean while delivering instant thicker feel from root to tip when paired with the companion light exfoliating shampoo.

How does this conditioner make hair feel thicker?

The formula deposits lightweight plant-based actives that coat and plump each strand for an immediate fuller feel without weighing hair down. When used as part of the Invati Ultra Advanced system, clinical testing on tresses showed a meaningful reduction in hair loss due to breakage.

• Botanical plumping blend increases strand diameter from root to tip.
• Lightweight conditioning avoids residue that can flatten fine hair.
• Designed to pair with the Light Exfoliating Shampoo for best thickening effect.

Will this conditioner help a sensitive or oily scalp?

Yes — the Light version is tailored for normal to oily scalps, formulated to detangle and strengthen without heavy oils or buildup. Its gentle formula supports scalp health while helping remove styling residue when used with the Invati shampoo.

• Works well for normal to oily scalp types and fine-to-medium hair.
• Non-greasy, rinse-clean texture that avoids weighing hair down.
• Free from mineral oil, petrolatum and heavy silicones that can clog follicles.

How should I use it within the Invati Ultra Advanced routine?

Use as the second step after the Light Exfoliating Shampoo: apply to wet hair and scalp, work gently through from roots to ends, then rinse thoroughly. For full program benefits, follow with the revitalizing scalp serum and the fortifying leave-in treatment.

• Step 1: Light Exfoliating Shampoo to cleanse and prep the scalp.
• Step 2: Massage conditioner into wet hair and scalp, then rinse.
• Steps 3–4: Apply Revitalizing Scalp Serum and Fortifying Leave-In Treatment per instructions.
