AVEDA Botanical Repair Intensive Strengthening Masque Rich 6.7 oz — Bond-Building Deep Conditioner for Medium to Thick Hair

AVEDA Botanical Repair Intensive Strengthening Masque Rich is a deep, bond-building treatment that instantly strengthens and visibly transforms medium-to-thick damaged hair.

This rich masque delivers concentrated plant-derived nourishment to the hair’s fiber, restoring manageability, slip, and shine after a single use. Formulated with 94% naturally derived ingredients and enhanced plant lipids and butters, the formula targets multiple structural layers of the strand to reduce breakage, detangle, and leave hair feeling softer without heavy silicones or synthetic fragrances.

How does this masque repair damaged hair?

The masque uses botanical technologies to reinforce bonds throughout the hair shaft, addressing damage from the outer F-layer to the inner cortex. Its conditioning complex smooths cuticles and restores elasticity, improving the overall look and strength of hair.

• Plant-derived bond-repair agents penetrate multiple hair layers.
• High concentration of plant lipids and added butters for deep nourishment.
• Detangling slip reduces friction and helps prevent breakage during combing.

Will this weigh down my hair or leave residue?

Designed specifically for medium to thick hair, the rich formulation provides substantial moisture without silicones or heavy mineral oils. It rinses clean while leaving a silky finish, so hair feels conditioned and manageable rather than greasy.

• Rich texture suited for coarser, denser strands.
• Free from silicones, mineral oil, petrolatum, and paraffin.
• Leaves hair soft, smooth, and with natural movement.

How do I use the masque for best results?

Use after shampooing on towel-damp hair: distribute evenly, leave for 2–5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. For deeply damaged hair, you can adjust application frequency to weekly or as needed for added repair and manageability.

• Smooth through damp, freshly washed hair—focus on mid-lengths and ends.
• Leave on 2–5 minutes for standard conditioning; extend cautiously if needed.
• Rinse completely and style as usual; combine with Aveda Botanical Repair regimen for synergistic results.

What ingredients and ethical standards should I expect?

The masque emphasizes plant-based actives and natural essences, formulated without common synthetic or animal-derived additives. Aveda’s Pure-Fume aroma adds certified organic ylang-ylang, rose, and marjoram for a botanical scent profile.

• 94% naturally derived ingredients per ISO 16128 standards.
• Formulated without silicones, synthetic fragrance, parabens, SLS/SLES, phthalates, and animal-derived ingredients.
• Aveda is vegan, Certified B Corp, and Leaping Bunny approved.

Who is this for? This rich Aveda Botanical Repair masque is ideal for people with medium to thick textured hair that needs intensive repair and controlled softness—especially those with chemically or mechanically damaged strands seeking a plant-forward, professional-quality mask. If your hair is fine or very thin, consider Aveda’s lighter Botanical Repair masque formulation instead, which provides similar bond-building benefits with a lighter finish.
