Aveda Pure Abundance Hair Potion definitely falls into the easy decision column. It鈥檚 best suited for fine hair; it bulks it up and gives it a nice matte texture.
The Hair Potion is actually a powder that liquefies when it hits your hair or skin. You just sprinkle it sparingly onto your hair and then use your fingers to create the style you want. The bottle claims it thickens hair up to 17%, but that actually seems to me like they may be underselling it compared to the actual effects I鈥檝e experienced.
This product is best for textured, matte styles, as opposed to slicker styles obtained using wax or pomade.
Aveda Pure Abundance Hair Potion is one of Aveda鈥檚 best sellers.
