beautyheaven says:
bh members trialled the Aveda Thickening Tonic for four weeks, using it before styling their hair. The spray instantly thickens hair, and keeps it looking full all day with the help of botanical ingredients. The 97% naturally derived tonic works by thickening each individual hair strand with alma, an Ayurvedic herb used for centuries to promote healthy hair. It also contaisns a wheat protein for heat protection and acacia gum to add lightweight bulk. bh members were instructed to section towel-dried hair and then spray the tonic from roots to ends before blow-drying.
You say:
“I have pretty dry and brittle hair from years of bleaching and dyeing, however the top of my hair is very oily. After spraying this product and blow-drying my hair, it didn't feel greasy, oily or weighed down. It didn't feel like i was wearing any product. This is the first thickening spray I've tried but it definitely added volume and bounce to my hair!” - jazlovestoskate.
“When I applied this product (following the instructions), I got a fantastic much-needed lift at the roots of my hair! My hair is flat and thin usually and I'm constantly having to tease at the crown to get a bit of height ... which is no longer necessary with this beauty! It doesn't leave hair looking gritty or heavy. I'm in absolute love with it!” - A Lil Kuki.
“The results? It definitely does what it claims to do - instant thickening and texturising of the hair! I've got a side part so it's great for adding some lift and dimension to my typically limp and flat hair.” - Annyex.
“Thank you so much for letting me trial this product. I had never tried anything from Aveda before and I really like how this product worked with my hair. It definitely helps to create more thickness and body particularly when I really concentrate it at the roots.” - FindReason.
“It added body to my fine, limp hair and made it look and feel thicker, which is exactly what I aim for.” - Aussiesbabes.
“I really like that the formula is made up of 97% naturally derived ingredients, so I don't have to worry about applying any chemicals to my already chemically-treated hair.” - lynnellew.
*Rating refers to the 20 members included in this trial and is correct as of May 1 2015.

Aveda is based on Ayurvedic principles so I'll automatically trust their haircare range.

Ohh never saw this! Wonder if it's good for oily hair too though to thicken and give volume?

I sometimes feel a little dubious about products that claim to "thicken" hair, but given all the positive reviews I may have to keep this in mind in the future.

My hairdresser raves about Aveda. My hair is already thick so not the right product for me though

It's been years since I tried Aveda, but I love their products. A little out of my price range to continue buying from them, but a I could always treat myself from time to time

I bought a small size bottle of this to try and I really like it, however I found better results with the Aveda Volumizing hair product, which I think is excellent.
