FAQs

What does '97% naturally derived' mean?

This refers to the percentage of ingredients that are derived from plants, non-petroleum minerals, or water. It highlights Aveda's commitment to using natural and sustainable sources in its formulations.

Do I have to blow-dry my hair after applying the tonic?

Yes, for optimal thickening and volume, it is highly recommended to blow-dry your hair with a round brush after applying the tonic. The heat and technique help to activate the ingredients and expand the strands effectively.

How often can I use Aveda Thickening Tonic?

You can use the tonic every time you wash and style your hair, or whenever you desire a fuller, denser appearance. It is gentle enough for regular use.

Is this product suitable for all hair types?

Aveda Thickening Tonic is specifically designed for thinning hair and those with limp, lifeless locks who want to boost volume and achieve a fuller, denser look. It is effective across a range of hair textures.

Will it make my hair feel heavy or greasy?

When used as directed and thoroughly blow-dried, the tonic is formulated to provide thickening benefits without making hair feel heavy or greasy. Ensure even distribution and avoid over-applying.

What is Amla fruit and what does it do in this tonic?

Amla fruit, also known as Indian Gooseberry, is a botanical ingredient known for its nourishing properties. In the Aveda Thickening Tonic, it plays a key role in powering the formula to expand strands and contribute to the hair thickening effect.

Troubleshooting

Hair does not feel thicker after use.

Ensure you are applying the tonic thoroughly from roots to ends, in sections, and combing through for even distribution. The product's thickening effect is significantly enhanced by blow-drying with a round brush, directing air down each section to expand strands.

Hair feels stiff or sticky after application.

This often indicates too much product was used or it wasn't evenly distributed/dried. Try using a slightly smaller amount, ensuring thorough combing, and making sure your hair is completely dry after blow-drying.

Product seems to run out quickly.

While thorough coverage is important, focus application on the areas where you desire the most volume and thickness, typically roots and mid-lengths. Avoid oversaturating hair strands unnecessarily to conserve product.

Nozzle gets clogged.

If the spray nozzle becomes clogged, gently rinse it under warm water. If the issue persists, try soaking the nozzle in warm water for a few minutes to dislodge any dried product.
