The only blue conditioner that has minimal "cones". It works well to tone down brassiness and together with my Organic Connect Silver Shampoo it makes my bleached hair a gorgeous platinum colour. Lovely smell. On the down side it is not very moisturising and I wish Aveda would remove the "cones" all together.

I bought this to tone down the brass in the remaining colored hair that i have as i grow out my grey- it works fairly well, especially if i use some Roux " Fanciful Fawn " before drying. love the smell too !!

This is my usual, everyday conditioner.
My hair is not particularly challenged. A bit dry, baby fine and colored. For me, this has enough moisture for an everyday conditioner but I can understand that if your hair is really dry it may not be enough. I use the One and Only Argan moisturizing mask (HG!) once a week which probably helps.
The violet in Blue Malva helps a bit in keeping the brassy tones at bay, but unlike other reviewers I've never had a problem with too much color depositing. Presumably this is because my hair is less porous than others. Like all Aveda products it has a distinct scent so you definitely want to smell it before you buy it.
Overall, this is a reasonably priced, everyday conditioner for cool blondes who don't require major moisture on a daily basis.

This does wonders for toning my bleached hair but its not enough conditioning. But I keep buying it...besides its not for everyday so I can use a more nourishing conditioner the other days.

It does tone my hair and make it more silver. Unfortunately it doesn't help with how dry my bleached hair is. If I use it everyday (I have to put conditioner in my hair if it gets wet - water dries it out) my hair goes purple. So i only use it after bleaching my roots to tone the colour to silver-white.
far too dry to use often on my hair. May decide to just get the dutch drug store toners I used to use at 2 euros for a tiny bottle. much cheaper.
I do love the blue malva shampoo. It's just the condioner I'm not on fire about- although definitely brightening and does what it says on the tin, I'm taking off one lippie because is too drying and one because doesn't smell very nice, at all. worst smelling aveda product. which sucks cause aveda usually smells so nice.

Love this to take out warm tones from my blonde makes it very cool. i only use it 3 times a week and get comments on my blonde all the time ! dont leave it in for too long or your hair will suck up the color and turn purple.

I've dyed my hair black for 6 year and wanted to get back into range in my natural shade of blonde. It took copious amounts of bleach over a two month period, so you can imagine the state of my hair. The ends remained HORRIBLY brassy and I obviously didn't want to keep dying the ends to cancel it out. That said I really love this stuff! I can't say it's an ashy blonde but it blended with the roots of my hair very well and doesn't look like two different colors now. It took two uses for that effect, however there was a marked improvement after one use and my case is particularly severe. I don't think the price is horrible, but some don't agree. I think it's worth it. My hair is also very damaged, but I thought the moisturizing quality was just fine considering. Still on the fence about the shampoo but I don't think it's a bad shampoo, just unsure if it's doing what it claims because I bought the shampoo well before the conditioner so maybe it's best they're used together? Anyway, I have a liter bottle of the stuff and will keep using it.

I love the scent of these color conditioners. The Blue Malva really neutralizes unwanted brassy tones in blonde hair. Great to really brighten up highlights, and blondes.
You get better results from the color conditioners than you do from the shampoos, but the two work great in conjuction with each other.

I love Blue Malva conditioner to compliment the shampoo! My naturally, turned-platinum hair is so bright and less "grey" after using it. I've used other products like this when I was younger and red-haired (mostly Redken) and they did the job too.
I guess I have to say I'm a believer in the color depositing/accentuating conditioner. My new natural hair color was never quite this nice from blue shampoos alone.
Aveda has a lock on this shade--it's perfect for me. It's a keeper.
(And no more roots! I'm free of the 4-week appointment and attention to blending the color. This is big for me.)

I haven't read all of the reviews yet, but I'm chiming in as a salt & pepper hair person, with ever-increasing salt. :/ I'm 3b/3c curly, shoulder-blade length hair, which has a tendency to be dry. I CO wash every other day, so I have only used the BM conditioner. I use it approximately once every 6-8 weeks. Could I use it more? Sure! But I find it drying, so I don't use it more frequently than that. It definitely brightens and whitens my white/gray hairs. As a matter of fact, the last 2 times I've used it, DH and my teen DS both said to me that my gray is really showing and it's pretty; they didn't know that I'd used the BM that day. I apply it generously to my hair to make sure that I cover all of my hair and have enough to work it through. I've used it as a CO wash this way and it's more drying than regular conditioner for sure. Today I applied it as a first wash, then I used my conditioner-of-the-week after that, to give a bit more moisture. That helped, but really just added a little more moisture this way. That's why I give it 4 lippies; I would prefer the product more if it was more moisturizing for my hair. I've thought about adding a bit of honey to the BM when I use it, but have not tried that yet. Yes, it's expensive but I don't use it that often so one tube lasts me a year for sure, probably longer (tube has the 24 mo. symbol on it). continued >>

I am so pleased with this product. I have been using it for about a year to tone down brassiness but honestly I was never impressed with it and wasn't sure it was working. I would just put it in my hair in the shower and rinse out after 5 minutes or so. Now I'm in Korea, where toner is very hard to come by and even after getting my hair lightened and toned, it is still orange-y and looks awful. My desperation drove me to repurchase this product and I've been using it differently than before. This is what worked for me: I wash my hair, then towel dry it, then work a lot of the product in my hair, then cover with a shower cap and leave on for about 45 minutes. Then I rinse it out and follow up with a deep conditioner, since it's not enough on its own to condition my dry hair. Works like a charm!

Wow! This stuff works great. I recently had my dark brown hair colored with caramel and dark blonde highlights and some of the caramels turned an orangish-red and blondes turned a little yellow. I didn't want to ruin my hair by having it re-colored so I decided to try the Blue Malva conditioner. I was skeptical at first bc one lady told me it might turn my hair green and another said it was only for blonde hair. But I decided to try it out anyway and it calmed down my orange towns and brassiness. I think it darkened my blondes a little bit giving it a more subtle look which is what I was wanting in the first place! I am definitely impressed with the product and recommend it for anyone that wants to get rid of their brassy tones.

I love love LOVE this product! After complaining to my stylist about how very brassy my haircolor gets in between appointments, she recommended this. After my first use, only leaving it on for maybe 5 minutes, my hair was unbelievably soft and the color was amazing! Later that day, someone actually asked me if I had my color done!...and it was man! There must have been an obvious difference for him to have noticed! I love this conditioner and I will cry if it's ever discontinued!

If you leave this conditioner in your hair for about 10 minutes, it really sucks all of the brassiness out. I love this product for keeping me platinum.

I absolutely love this conditioner. I have mid brown hair with dark blonde highlights that can have a tendency to go reddish. This totally keeps that at bay and keeps my highlights looking a sort of caramel colour that I love.
I actually use this every day but am thinking I might switch to once or twice a week as I think there is a little build up - it's less noticeable on my darker hair but my colourist commented on it.
As far as conditioning is concerned it's fine for me but I have short hair and a low maintenance styling regime that doesn't use heat.
Love the smell, just like lavendar.

This was a horrible conditioner for me. I have light blond highlights that are starting to look a little brassy so I decided to try this conditioner hoping to restore them to their original state, but instead I ended up even brassier than before! Now my whole head of hair is about the same reddish tone and looks awful. I can't believe what one application was able to do. I only left it on for about 2 minutes and now I wish I had never touched it. It even left a stain on one of my fingers despite the fact that I tried to rinse it off immediately after application. Also it's very drying and shouldn't be labeled as a conditioner. Very dissapointed.

This product can be okay, depending on how you use it. As a post-shampoo conditioner, it is not very moisturizing. Definitely not enough moisture for colored, bleached or highlighted hair. It has decent toning results, however they are only temporary and wash out quickly. You need to use it every 2-3 days or else it is useless. It has a light herbal scent that is much more pleasant than most other Aveda products.

The only way I can use this product is by itself, without shampooing first. I just rinse with water, apply the conditioner, and leave it in for at least 5 minutes. Since it so light, it has a CO-wash (conditioner only)effect.

I won't repurchase it because I'd prefer to have a more effective toning product that offers better conditioning for my heavily processed blonde hair. There are many other products out there that offer better toning and conditioning results.

my hair is black but traces of very old red permanent dye [my hair's very long] at the ends and sun-fade give it a wish-washy hue in the sun. i don't fancy putting semi-permanent dark dye in my hair yet so this is perfect. i notice that when i use this my hair isn't such a sad faded colour in the sun and the red is a bit more plum and just gives my hair colour an overall richer appearance. i don't use this with the shampoo but i will, as i have tried that and it also works! :)

Nice, reduces brassiness, not cheap, but it's a big tube of conditioner. Doesn't actually seem to condition my hair, but that's okay.

So like most blondes, I usually hate to see any sort of yellow in my hair (although now I am sportin a strawberry/golden blonde), but when I want to subdue the gold, I grab my Aveda Blue Malva shampoo & conditioner. Both smell great, and make your hair wonderfully soft. The shampoo you can use almost daily, as long as you don't leave it in too long every day, but I do have to warn people...the conditioner will turn you hair slightly purple if you leave it in too long or use it too often. I find, the conditioner works best when I mix it half/half w/my regular conditioner. Overall, Blue Malva is the best violent enhancer line out there! continued >>
