The Aveda Thickening Tonic is crafted for individuals seeking to instantly add noticeable fullness and body to their hair, particularly those with fine or thinning strands. Its botanical-powered formula expands individual hair fibers from roots to ends, providing a foundation for a thicker-looking style. While it delivers immediate results, achieving optimal volume and hold typically requires blow-drying after application.

Aveda Thickening Tonic is designed to give your hair an immediate boost in volume and density. When applied correctly, you'll notice individual strands feel thicker and the overall hair mass appears fuller. The botanical ingredients, including amla fruit, work to create a visible expansion of the hair fiber, while wheat helps boost the thickening effect, and corn helps to maintain your fuller style.
Prepare Your Hair: Start with clean, towel-dried, damp hair. This allows the product to distribute evenly and absorb effectively.
Section and Spray: Divide your hair into sections. Spray the Thickening Tonic thoroughly from the roots all the way to the ends of each section. Don't be shy; ensure good coverage.
Distribute Evenly: Use a comb to thoroughly distribute the product throughout your hair. This ensures every strand benefits from the tonic.
Blow-Dry for Volume: This step is crucial for activating the tonic's full potential. Using a round brush, blow-dry your hair. Direct the air down each section using a nozzle. The heat helps to set the expansion of the strands and create lasting volume.
Style as Desired: Once your hair is dry, brush it into your preferred style.
Finish: For enhanced hold and longevity of your fuller style, consider finishing with a firm-hold hair spray like Aveda's Control Force™ (as recommended).
As detailed in the "Performance & Real-World Use" section, the primary setup involves applying the tonic to clean, damp hair and blow-drying. No complex assembly or charging is required.
Hair Types: The Aveda Thickening Tonic is generally suitable for all hair types seeking increased thickness and volume, especially beneficial for fine, thin, or limp hair.
Other Products: It can be used in conjunction with your regular shampoo, conditioner, and styling products. For best results, apply it as the first styling product on damp hair.
Storage: Store the Aveda Thickening Tonic in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its efficacy and shelf life. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use.
Product Integrity: Keep out of reach of children and avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water.
