Aveda Texture Tonic to Define and Enhance Texture for Hair That Looks Effortlessly Undone

October 31st, 2017 by Karen 5 Comments

Hey, sugar!

I cannot stop smelling my hair today! It smells exactly like that yummy tea they serve at Aveda stores.

You know the one. It’s herbal, a little sweet, a little bit like fresh crushed sage sprinkled on top of a bucket of ginger candy and cinnamon. It smells fresh and delicious, and it’s all up in my strands right now because I just sprayed the new Aveda Texture Tonic ($25) into my mane. The aroma is super strong.

Texture Tonic is a new texturizing and styling spray in Aveda’s hair styling line, and unlike most salt-only beach wave hairsprays, like Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray, it’s a sugar AND salt spray.

I’m not exactly sure what the sugar brings to the table, but it’s bringing something. I’ll say that much.

One thing I love about this spray is that it doesn’t make my hair feel hard or crunchy, and you know I don’t do crunch.

It does add grit and texture, and it capably coaxes out waves, but it isn’t nearly as gritty as Bumble’s Surf Spray. It’s, like, mid-level grit, so you don’t feel that salt spray stiffness or stickiness, and your mane remains touchable (although not as soft as it is when I use R+Co Sail, which is the love of my life right now).

Aveda Texture Tonic is similar to…

  • Bumble and Bumble Surf Infusion Oil and Salt-Infused Spray
  • R+Co Sail Soft Wave Spray
  • Bumble and Bumble Surf Foam Spray Blow Dry
  • AG Hair Cosmetics Texture Spray

This works best if you don’t use too much of the product. My hair is past my shoulders, and I only use 6-7 sprays at the most. Any more that, and your hair will probably start to feel crunchy-munchy.

I also like that my hair doesn’t get frizzy after I spray it with this (you can use it on either damp or dry hair). The spray smooths my strands, makes them shine, and it gathers up the pieces of hair into beauty bundles, for lack of a better phrase right meow, to make your mane look broken up and kind of chunky, like it looks when you spend the day at the beach.

A 4.2-ounce bottle is $25, and you can get it now at Aveda stores and salons. It’s in their permanent.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

      Hi Dot,

      I use a large barrel curling iron by GHD. Here’s a link to the review:

    An Aveda salon recently opened near my home and i have been toying with the idea to go there. It is pretty expensive though, so I haven’t decided if I am ready to leave my current hair dresser yet…

      If they have sample sizes of their products (which they often do), you should try a few things. I like their color conditioners, especially.

    Oh gawd I may have to try this. I love all of their fragrances, so delicious without being overbearing. And when you factor the cost per ounce, Aveda is one of the cheaper non-drugstore lines out there! I recently tried a sample of the Thickening Tonic, having been a devoted Volumizing Tonic user for years, and I’m trying really hard not to get hooked. I think I’ll save it for special events when I want my hair closer to god. 😉 So good!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
