Compare Aveda’s Top Two Haircare Systems for Damaged or Thinning Hair

If your hair has been looking less than its best—maybe it’s dry, thinning, or breaking easily—you’re not alone. At Venelle Salon & Spa in Park Slope, Brooklyn, one of the most common questions we get is:

“Should I use Aveda Botanical Repair or Invati?”

Both are powerful, plant-based systems designed to restore your hair—but they solve very different problems.

Here’s a deep comparison to help you choose the right Aveda system for your unique hair needs.

🌿 Quick Summary: What’s the Difference?

Aveda Line Best For Primary Benefit Key Ingredients
Botanical Repair Damaged, weak, brittle hair Strength & breakage repair Avocado oil, green tea, sacha inchi
Invati Advanced Thinning or sparse hair Reduces hair loss & thickens Turmeric, ginseng, amla, caffeine

💡 Use if your hair feels like it’s falling apart after coloring, heat damage, or overprocessing.

🌾 What Is Aveda Invati Advanced?

Aveda Invati Advanced™ is a 3-step system formulated specifically to reduce hair thinning and hair loss, great for people who are noticing:

  • Excess hair shedding or hair in the brush

  • Thinner ponytails or scalp visibility

  • A receding hairline or postpartum hair loss

✅ Benefits of Invati Advanced:

💡 Use if your hair is thinning at the root or falling out more than normal.

🧪 Botanical Repair vs. Invati: Which System Should You Choose?

✅ Choose Botanical Repair if:

  • Your hair feels rough, brittle, or weak

  • You use bleach, color, perms, or hot tools regularly

  • Your hair breaks before it even grows long

  • You want a rebuilding, bond-strengthening treatment

➡️ Botanical Repair = Repair & Strengthen from Within

✅ Choose Invati Advanced if:

  • You’re seeing thinner spots or more scalp than usual

  • Your hair is shedding excessively in the shower or on your brush

🧴 Can I Use Both Together?

Absolutely! Many of our clients at Venelle Salon & Spa use Botanical Repair and Invati together—especially if their hair is both thinning and damaged.

Here’s how:

  • Invati system in the morning to stimulate scalp and reduce hair loss

  • Botanical Repair treatments 1–2x a week to strengthen ends and prevent breakage

  • Botanical Repair Leave-In before blow-drying

  • Invati Scalp Revitalizer daily at the root

💡 This combo helps protect what you have and rebuild what’s been weakened.
