Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Conditioner for Damaged Hair, 6.7 oz — Quinoa Protein, Lightweight Repair

Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Conditioner is a daily conditioner formulated with quinoa protein to detangle, strengthen and smooth hair weakened by heat or chemical processes.

This conditioner is the second step in Aveda's Damage Remedy system and is designed to target fragile, porous or overworked hair. Its 96% naturally derived* formula smooths the cuticle, helps reduce tangles and leaves hair feeling softer and stronger after use. Free from animal-derived ingredients, mineral oil, SLS/SLES, synthetic fragrances, parabens and phthalates, it fits into vegan and conscious beauty routines while pairing well with Aveda's Restructuring Shampoo and leave-in Daily Hair Repair.

How does this conditioner help repair visibly damaged hair?

The formula uses quinoa protein to bind to and fortify stressed areas of the strand, improving manageability and the look of damage over regular use. It focuses on detangling to limit mechanical breakage during combing and styling. Results are cumulative when used as part of the matching repair routine.

• Quinoa protein targets weakened cuticle zones to improve strength and resilience.
• Intense detangling reduces tugging and breakage while wet.
• Compatible with color-treated and chemically processed hair.

Will this conditioner weigh my hair down or leave residue?

Formulated for daily use, Aveda Damage Remedy balances conditioning with lightweight slip so hair feels smooth without heavy buildup. The naturally derived base rinses cleanly, and regular use helps maintain softness without flattening volume. If your hair is very fine, use a smaller amount focused on mid-lengths and ends.

• Light-to-medium conditioning suitable for most hair types.
• Rinses cleanly to avoid greasy or limp feeling when used as directed.
• Apply primarily to mid-lengths and ends to preserve root lift.

How should I use Damage Remedy Restructuring Conditioner for best results?

Use after shampooing with Aveda Restructuring Shampoo: distribute an even amount through damp hair from roots to ends, leave a minute if desired, then rinse thoroughly. For persistent tangles, comb gently with a wide-tooth comb while conditioner is in the hair. Finish with Daily Hair Repair leave-in for extended protection and easier styling.

• Use daily or as needed after cleansing damaged hair.
• Leave in briefly for extra slip, then rinse completely.
• Follow with Aveda Daily Hair Repair for added, all-day manageability.

What are the key ingredients and what do they do?

The standout active is quinoa protein, chosen for its ability to bind and strengthen compromised strands. The formula is largely naturally derived* and avoids common synthetic additives, delivering conditioning and detangling without animal-derived ingredients or harsh sulfates. This makes it suitable for eco-conscious shoppers who prioritize ingredient transparency.

• Quinoa protein: helps fortify and improve strand integrity.
• 96% naturally derived* base: plant and non-petroleum mineral sources plus water.
• Free from SLS/SLES, parabens, phthalates and synthetic fragrance.

Who is this for? Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Conditioner is ideal for people whose hair shows signs of physical or chemical stress—such as breakage from heat styling, coloring, bleaching or frequent combing—and who want a plant-forward, rinse-out conditioner that detangles and supports stronger-feeling hair. It's a good fit for color-treated hair and for anyone looking to integrate a repair-focused conditioner into a daily routine without heavy residue. Pair it with Aveda's Restructuring Shampoo and Daily Hair Repair for a targeted regimen.
