Aveda Color Control Conditioner for Color-Treated Hair — 6.7 fl oz, Silicone-Free, Lightweight Shine & Cuticle Seal

Aveda Color Control Conditioner is a 97% naturally derived, silicone-free conditioner that detangles, seals the cuticle and helps preserve color-treated hair’s vibrancy while adding luminous shine.

This lightweight conditioner is formulated to protect the investment you make in salon color by addressing the common causes of fading and dullness without weighing hair down. Aveda combines plant-derived ingredients, including omega-9-rich apricot oil and a Botanical Acid Complex, to smooth cuticles and enhance gloss. The Pure-Fume aroma blends osmanthus with certified organic orange, cypress and cedarwood for a subtle, botanical fragrance. Free from silicones, parabens, and animal-derived ingredients, it works well with the rest of Aveda’s Color Control line to keep color radiant between professional services.

How does this conditioner help prevent color from fading?

The formula targets the outer cuticle layer to create a smoother surface that reflects light and reduces pigment loss. By sealing cuticles and minimizing tangles, it lowers friction-related damage that can accelerate fading. Regular use helps maintain the appearance and tone of salon-applied color.

• Botanical Acid Complex smooths and seals the hair cuticle.
• Apricot oil adds lightweight shine without heavy buildup.
• Silicone-free formulation avoids residue that can dull color over time.
• Works with Color Control Shampoo and Leave-In Treatment for comprehensive care.

Will this conditioner work on my hair type or texture?

Aveda designed this product for all hair types, from fine and straight to coarse and curly. The conditioning agents detangle and soften without weighing strands down, so it suits both thin and thick hair. Use the lighter or richer formulas in the Color Control range if you need extra moisture or a thinner finish.

• Formulated for color-treated, highlighted, and chemically processed hair.
• Lightweight enough for fine hair; conditioning enough for thicker textures.
• Free of animal-derived ingredients and harsh sulfates.
• Compatible with heat styling and color-maintenance routines.

What results can I expect after regular use?

With consistent use, hair appears smoother, easier to manage, and visibly shinier. Detangling benefits reduce breakage during brushing, and a sealed cuticle helps hair look fresher between salon visits. The scent provides a refined botanical fragrance that lingers subtly.

• Improved detangling and reduced breakage.
• Notable increase in surface shine and color radiance.
• Silicone-free finish that maintains natural movement.
• Light botanical aroma from Pure-Fume blend.

How should I incorporate this into my color care routine?

Use after shampooing with a color-safe cleanser, working the conditioner through mid-lengths to ends and leaving it on briefly before rinsing. Pairing with Aveda Color Control Shampoo and Leave-In Treatment delivers the best color-maintenance performance. Adjust frequency to match your hair’s moisture needs—more often for dry or chemically treated hair, less for oily roots.

• Apply after Color Control Shampoo for optimal results.
• Leave on 1–3 minutes for standard conditioning, longer if needed.
• Follow with styling products or the Color Control Leave-In Treatment.
• Suitable for daily to weekly use depending on hair condition.

Who is this for? Aveda Color Control Conditioner suits anyone who wants to protect and extend the life of salon color while improving manageability and shine without silicones or animal-derived ingredients. It’s a practical choice for people with color-treated, highlighted, or chemically processed hair who prefer plant-forward formulations and a refined botanical scent. If you seek salon-quality color care at home and compatibility with a broader color maintenance system, this conditioner integrates smoothly into that routine.
