Aveda Color Control Conditioner 6.7 fl oz — silicone-free color-protecting conditioner, detangles & seals cuticle

Aveda Color Control Conditioner is a silicone-free, 97% naturally derived formula that conditions, detangles, and helps lock in color for radiant, soft hair.

Formulated to protect and enhance color-treated hair, this lightweight conditioner combines plant-based ingredients and apricot oil to smooth the cuticle, reduce tangles, and help minimize color fade without weighing hair down. The scent uses Aveda’s Pure-Fume aroma—osmanthus, organic orange, cypress, cedarwood and other botanical essences—while the formula avoids silicones, parabens, phthalates and a range of other synthetic additives.

How does this conditioner help protect color between salon visits?

The formula helps preserve pigment by smoothing and sealing the hair cuticle to reduce color-stripping friction and environmental impact. Conditioning agents plus omega-9-rich apricot oil add shine so color looks fresher and more vibrant for longer.

• Seals the cuticle to reduce color loss from friction
• Apricot oil adds reflective shine for richer-looking color
• Lightweight, silicone-free texture avoids buildup that can dull hues

Will this conditioner detangle without making hair heavy?

Yes—Aveda Color Control Conditioner detangles and smooths strands while remaining lightweight, so hair gains slip without extra weight. That makes it suitable for fine to thick hair and reduces breakage from combing or styling.

• Detangling agents ease combing and reduce breakage
• Non-greasy conditioning to maintain natural movement
• Works on curly, straight, thin, and thick textures

What ingredients help achieve shine and manageability?

The conditioner blends botanical actives with apricot oil and a Botanical Acid Complex to smooth cuticle scales and boost surface reflectivity. These components work together to leave hair feeling soft, manageable, and visibly luminous without silicones.

• Omega-9-rich apricot oil for gloss and softness
• Botanical Acid Complex to refine cuticle texture
• 97% naturally derived* base from plants, minerals, and water

Is this product safe for chemically treated or highlighted hair?

It’s formulated for color-treated, highlighted, and chemically processed hair and avoids harsh additives that can stress treated strands. Use alongside Aveda’s Color Control Shampoo and Leave-In Treatment (available in light or rich textures) for fuller regimen support.

• Suitable for color, highlight, and chemically altered hair
• Free from silicones, SLS/SLES, parabens, and synthetic fragrance
• Compatible with other Color Control products for layered protection

Who is this for: Ideal for anyone who wants to maintain salon color at home without heavy silicones—particularly those who prefer plant-forward formulations and light, non-greasy conditioning. It fits all hair types seeking improved detangling, reduced breakage, and enhanced color radiance while avoiding many common synthetic additives.
