Aveda Invati Ultra Thickening Conditioner Light — 6.7 fl oz for Fine to Medium Hair, Lightweight Detangling & Strengthening

Aveda Invati Ultra Advanced Thickening Conditioner Light is a lightweight botanical conditioner designed to detangle, strengthen, and instantly thicken fine to medium thinning hair as part of the four-step Invati Ultra system.

This lightweight conditioner is the second step in Aveda’s Invati Ultra Advanced 4-step routine and is formulated to support hair that is prone to breakage and thinning.

Designed for normal to oily scalps and fine to medium hair types, this formula conditions without weighing hair down and is free from silicones, parabens, synthetic fragrances, and other commonly excluded ingredients.

How does this conditioner help hair feel thicker without heavy buildup?

The Light Thickening Conditioner uses a botanical plumping blend to temporarily increase the diameter of each hair strand, creating the appearance and feel of fuller hair without greasy residue. Its lightweight emollients smooth the cuticle for easier detangling and reduced breakage during grooming.
