Aveda Color Conserve Shampoo Is Back: A Love Letter to Your Favorite

If you’ve ever found a shampoo you loved and then had to say goodbye to it, you know the feeling. You try something else, but you still wish you could get that favorite bottle back.

Well, we have good news.

Aveda Color Conserve shampoo is back, and you can only buy it in Aveda salons.

If you’ve been waiting to bring it back into your shower, give your stylist a call!

Whether you used it for years or are just hearing about it, this is a comeback worth talking about. There’s a new aroma inspired by the original, a high-foam lather, and color protection to help you care for the color you love at home.

Meet the Returning Aveda Color Conserve Shampoo

You put time into your color. You save inspiration photos, talk through the details with your stylist, and spend a few hours in the chair getting it just right. Of course you want to enjoy it after you leave the salon.

That’s where your home routine comes in.

Aveda’s Color Conserve collection is one option to explore with your stylist. The shampoo gently cleanses with a high-foam lather, and Aveda reports up to eight weeks of color protection.*

There’s a conditioner, too, designed to help seal the cuticle for shine. Ask your stylist how the pair fits into your current routine.

Based on ex-vivo testing on tresses washed 24 times.

A Familiar Feeling, With a New Aroma

We know the way a product smells can be a big part of why you love it. Sometimes that first shampoo at the bowl is one of the best parts of a salon visit.

For the returning Color Conserve collection, Aveda’s perfumers took inspiration from the original aroma and created a new blend featuring lavender, geranium, grapefruit, and other flower and plant essences.

So if you remember the original, there’s something new to experience, too. Ask your stylist to introduce you to it at your next appointment.

Aveda Color Conserve vs. Color Control: Which Should You Choose?

Already using Color Control? You might be wondering if you should make the switch.

Start with what you want from wash day. Aveda Color Conserve shampoo may be worth exploring if you missed the collection, enjoy a high-foam lather, or want to experience its new aroma.

Color Control remains another option for color-treated hair. Aveda offers a Light shampoo for fine to medium hair and a Rich shampoo for medium to thick hair. Color Control Rich shampoo uses a sulfate cleanser-free formula and is designed to minimize color washout.

Our advice? Tell your stylist what you like about your current shampoo, how your hair feels between washes, and what you want to change. They can help you decide whether returning to Color Conserve makes sense for your hair.

And if Color Control is already working well for you, there’s no pressure to change a routine you love.

Where to Buy Aveda Color Conserve Shampoo

The returning Color Conserve collection is available only in Aveda salons. You can learn about it on Aveda’s website, but you’ll need to visit a salon to purchase it.

Use Aveda’s salon locator to find a location, then call ahead to ask whether it has the returning shampoo and conditioner in stock.

We love that this comeback brings the conversation back to your stylist. They know the color you’re caring for and can help you find products that fit into your routine.

You don’t have to wait until your next color appointment to ask, either. Give your salon a call and see what’s available.

For Salon Teams: Make the Comeback a Conversation

If you’re behind the chair, start with a simple question: “Did you ever use Color Conserve?”

Let the answer guide the recommendation. A returning fan may want to experience the new aroma. Someone discovering it for the first time may want to talk about lather, color care, and how it compares with their current routine.
