Aveda Thickening Tonic - 30Ml

You can use the Thickening Tonic daily or as often as you wash your hair and style it for added volume and thickness.

While it can technically be applied to dry hair, for optimal results and to best activate the thickening properties, it is strongly recommended to apply it to clean, towel-dried, damp hair before blow-drying.

The tonic is powered by botanicals including amla fruit, which is known for its hair benefits, along with wheat and corn starch, which contribute to the thickening and style-holding properties.

When used correctly and in the recommended amount, the tonic should not make your hair feel greasy or heavy. If you experience this, try reducing the amount of product and ensuring thorough blow-drying to set the style.

Aveda products are generally formulated to be gentle and safe for color-treated hair, but always refer to the specific product details or consult with a hair care professional if you have concerns.

Using a round brush helps to create tension and lift at the roots, enhancing the volume and fullness achieved with the tonic. While you can use other brushes, a round brush is recommended for optimal results.

This often indicates too much product was applied, or it wasn't distributed evenly. Try using a smaller amount, especially focusing on the mid-lengths and ends rather than just the roots. Ensure you comb through thoroughly and fully blow-dry your hair, as heat helps to set the product without stiffness.

Ensure you are applying the tonic thoroughly from roots to ends, section by section. The blow-drying step is critical for activating the thickening agents; make sure you are using a round brush and directing air down each section as recommended. Also, verify your hair is clean and damp when applying.

Review your application technique to ensure you're not over-saturating your hair. While thorough coverage is key, excessive spraying can lead to faster depletion. Focus on even distribution rather than simply using more product.
