Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Shampoo for Damaged Hair — 8.5 fl oz, Quinoa Protein & Gentle Babassu Cleanser

Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Shampoo is a 92% naturally derived cleansing formula that helps repair and strengthen chemically or physically damaged hair while leaving strands soft and manageable.

This shampoo is designed to start the repair process in the shower using a blend of quinoa protein and a babassu oil–derived cleanser to remove pollutants and gently lift dirt. It’s formulated without common harsh additives and is compatible with follow-up treatments like the Restructuring Conditioner or Intensive Restructuring Treatment for a full repair routine.

How does this shampoo help damaged hair?

The formula uses quinoa protein to fortify weakened strands and a babassu-derived cleanser to remove buildup without stripping. By cleansing gently and supporting the hair’s structural integrity, it prepares hair for conditioning and deeper restorative treatments.

• Quinoa protein helps reinforce and smooth cuticles.
• Babassu-derived cleanser gently removes impurities and pollutants.
• Leaves hair prepared for follow-up conditioner or intensive treatments.

Will this work for chemically treated or heat-damaged hair?

Yes — the shampoo is formulated for both chemical and physical damage, including bleaching, coloring, heat styling, and broken or weakened fibers. It cleans while minimizing additional stress to hair, helping maintain moisture balance and manageability.

• Safe for color-treated hair when used as part of a gentle routine.
• Helps reduce frizz and roughness associated with damaged cuticles.
• Best paired with Aveda Restructuring Conditioner or Intensive Restructuring Treatment.
