Details & care

What it is: A multibenefit, bond-building styling cream that creates an invisible outer layer around hair to protect it from future damage.

Who it's for: All hair types. Safe for naturally textured, color-treated and chemically processed hair.

What it does: It builds new hydrogen bonds deep in the hair's cortex to strengthen hair, and it smoothes the cuticle to aid in detangling. The treatment protects hair from thermal damage up to 450 degrees while shielding from future breakage and damage caused by styling. Aveda's own pure-fume™ aroma features certified organic ylang-ylang, rose and marjoram, along with other pure flower and plant essences.

How to use: Apply to damp hair. Do not rinse. Style as desired.

Game Changer for my fine ends

I once had a hair stylist say not only was my hair fine, and thinning, but she said ‘your ends are ‘hollow’… like see through. That was years ago and I’ve continued to look for ways to beef up my limp, fragile hair… this is fantastic as is the entire line… from shampoo to conditioner. then I spray in Bumble and Bumble ‘go big’ all over (go back to it every time I go away from it) and let my hair air dry about half way, then smooth a bit of this into the mid lengths and ends, do a low heat blow dry and for the first time in years, my hair has some ‘heft’. My current stylist, who knows my hair pain, has pointed me to some top salon products that failed to achieve what the Aveda Bontanical Repair line has. She commented on how great my hair was looking this past trim, I didn’t have the heart to tell her I wasn’t using her Euphora products because she used to sell Aveda! I know not everything works for everyone but this line of products works for me!

Broke my hair

I'm not sure what about this line doesn't agree with my hair. When I used this - in combination with the leave-in treatment or alone on damp hair - I experienced a lot of breakage and hair fall throughout the day. On the plus side, I love the smell and it made my curls look great, but something about these products are not for me. I was really hoping it could replace the Cherry Almond Leave-in Conditioner, which my hair loves but it gives me dandruff. I have fine, curly, low porosity hair.

Excellent products and smells divine

This is a lovely post wash bond building treatment. It smells delicious and leaves your hair silky soft and smooth. It’s a nice lightweight cram and doesn’t leave residue in the hair. Absorbs really easily. My hair feels fragrant, clean and strengthened after use.

Helps smooth graying hair

I'm in the process of growing out my silver and had some highlights put in to help it all blend. This product helps smooth grey flyaways, nourishes the dryer parts of my hair, and smells incredible. I apply it to damp hair and then dry gently, using a boar bristle round brush on the top layers. So smooth!

silky healthy hair

I'm letting my hair go gray and have had high lights and low lights to help ease the process. I go to an Aveda Salon and my stylist recommended this product line. I could not be happier wi the results. My color treated hair is smooth and healthy looking. No frizz. It feels like silk.
