Hair Oil & Tonic

Hair Oil & Tonic - Australia

Tonics are styling and restoring mixtures suspended in either oil or water. Oil variants - rare today - are a throwback to vintage glamour and give the hair a brilliantly glossy finish. They're perfect for dark, medium length hair - and James Bond himself made use of Trumper's Eucris Hairdressing in Diamonds Are Forever.

Water-based grooming tonics can be layered and impart extra styling power as a pre-styling product.

What Is Hair Oil, And What Does It Do?

What Is Hair Tonic, And What Does It Do?

Hair tonic, or hair dressing is a liquid styling product. These are liquid treatments, historically oil-based, used to improve hair health, add shine, and sometimes stimulate growth. Classic tonics often contained ingredients like alcohol and herbs, including vitamins, minerals, and herbal extracts that help improve circulation, strengthen hair follicles, and reduce dandruff or dryness. Hair tonic is typically a lightweight liquid and should not make your hair greasy - but rather, impart an attractive shine.

Hair tonics can be used as required, and it is best to follow the recommended product directions

Which Hair Types Benefit Most From Hair Oil and Hair Tonic?

Hair oil and tonic is beneficial for dry, damaged, or frizzy hair and flaky, irritated scalps as it provides essential moisture and smoothness. It also works well for curly or coarse hair that needs extra hydration and shine. Fine hair should use lighter products to avoid weighing it down.

How Do I Apply Hair Oil?

• Apply a few drops of oil to the palm of your hand.

• Rub your hands together and distribute the oil evenly through damp or dry hair, focusing on the ends.

• Avoid applying too much product to the roots to prevent greasiness. For a deeper treatment, leave the oil on for a few hours or overnight before washing it out.
