Aveda Color Viscosity Hair Color Thickener 4.2 oz

Aveda Color Viscosity is a colorist's tool rather than a consumer product, a liquid thickener that lets you dial the consistency of a color mixture up without diluting the dye itself. That matters most in balayage and freehand painting, where a runny formula creeps where it should not and ruins a placement. Plant lipids do the thickening, so the mixture gains body while the hair picks up conditioning through the process rather than drying out under it. Even distribution across uneven porosity is the other benefit, and it shows up weeks later as color that fades evenly. Free of parabens and phthalates.

Product Features:

• Thickens a color mixture without diluting the dye or shifting the target tone at all.
• Built for balayage and freehand work, where a runny formula wrecks the placement.
• Plant lipids add body while conditioning the hair right through the color process.
• Distributes dye evenly across uneven porosity, so the color fades evenly later on.

How to Use:

Mix your color and developer as usual, then add the thickener a little at a time, stirring until the consistency holds where you want it. Add more for freehand and balayage work, less for a standard bowl application. Process and rinse as the color line directs. For professional use.
