AVEDA Botanical Repair Intensive Strengthening Masque Light — Lightweight bond-building mask for fine to medium hair, 5 fl oz

This intensive masque uses plant-derived technologies to rebuild damaged areas across multiple layers of the hair fiber, offering visible improvement in texture and manageability without weighing hair down. The 98% naturally derived* formula is designed to detangle, smooth, and add slip so styling causes less breakage. It includes Aveda’s Pure-Fume aroma crafted from organic ylang-ylang, rose, and marjoram for a calming scent experience.

How quickly will I notice stronger, smoother hair?

Many users observe improved softness and shine after a single application because the masque deposits nourishing ingredients that temporarily smooth and strengthen strained fibers. Continued use helps support longer-term repair by protecting against further breakage and improving comb-through ease.

• Visible softness and shine after one treatment
• Detangles to reduce breakage during styling
• Supports ongoing bond repair with repeated use

How do I use this masque for best results?

Apply to freshly shampooed, damp hair and distribute evenly from mid-lengths to ends. Leave the masque on for 2–5 minutes to allow active plant-derived ingredients to penetrate, then rinse thoroughly; for deeper conditioning, extend time based on hair porosity and needs.

• Smooth through damp hair after shampooing
• Leave 2–5 minutes, or longer for extra hydration
• Rinse thoroughly and style as usual

Will this weigh down fine hair or affect my styling?

This Light version is formulated specifically to deliver bond-building repair without heavy residue, making it suitable for fine to medium textures. It provides slip and softness while preserving natural movement, so hair remains manageable and styling product performance is not compromised.

• Lightweight conditioning tailored to fine/medium hair
• Adds slip for easier brushing and less breakage
• Maintains natural volume and styling flexibility
