Hair Tonic vs. Grooming Spray: Which One Should You Be Using?
When browsing through our line of hair products, you’ll find two very similar looking bottles: hair tonic and grooming spray. Although these products appear to be the same, they serve two very different purposes. Read on to find out what these differences are and how you can use both to refine your look and keep your hair looking great all day.
Hair Tonic: The Pre-styler
The Suavecito Hair Tonic is best used as the first step in your styling routine - after washing and conditioning. It adds moisture and nourishment to your strands, preparing them for styling by providing a healthy, hydrated base. This hair tonic contains ingredients like Rosemary and Nettle Leaf extracts that improve hair texture, making it more manageable and easier to shape.
As a lightweight product, it doesn’t weigh the hair down and can help prevent damage from heat styling tools. Additionally: it gives a subtle shine and volume, making it ideal for those looking to achieve a natural, well-groomed look with minimal product buildup.

Grooming Spray: The Final Step
Our Suavecito Grooming Spray is a non-aerosol hairspray that you can use as you would any typical hairspray. Using something that is non-aerosol means that you get a polished, finished look without the harsh chemicals or environmental impact of traditional aerosol sprays. This spray offers a lightweight hold that enhances your natural hairstyle while adding shine and reducing frizz.
Unlike aerosol sprays, which can leave hair feeling stiff or crunchy, non-aerosol grooming sprays provide a flexible finish, allowing for restyling throughout the day. You heard that right - no crunch! This type of spray is also less likely to cause buildup, making it a great option for those who prefer a natural, healthy-looking hairstyle that stays in place without sacrificing movement or texture.

Use Both for Best Results
Incorporating both hair tonic and a non-aerosol grooming spray into your styling routine can significantly enhance your hair’s health and overall appearance. Start with a few drops of hair tonic as a pre-styler, applying it to towel-dried hair. Massage the tonic into the roots and work it through the length of your hair to ensure even coverage. Its lightweight formula preps your hair for styling, adding volume, texture, and shine while also protecting it from heat damage if you're using blow dryers or other heated tools.
You may then proceed with a styling product of your choice. We (unsurprisingly) recommend a pomade. Our wide variety of pomades are designed for a multitude of hair types - see which one best suits you on our website. Our pomades work great on their own, but starting with a hair tonic and finishing with a grooming spray will give you extra hold and shine, which is best for special occasions or those extra long, busy days.
Once your hair is styled to your liking, finish with a non-aerosol grooming spray to lock in your look. Simply mist the spray evenly over your hair from a distance to ensure a light, even coating. With this combination of hair tonic and grooming spray, you’ll achieve a balanced style that looks both natural and well-groomed, with long-lasting results and a healthy shine.

Conclusion
In conclusion, both hair tonic and grooming spray serve unique yet complementary roles in a well-rounded styling routine. Hair tonic acts as the foundation, prepping your hair with essential hydration, nourishment, and protection. On the other hand, a non-aerosol grooming spray is the final touch, securing your style with an added layer of hold. By using these two products together, you can create a polished, long-lasting look that feels light, fresh, and free of heavy buildup. Whether you're aiming for a sleek or textured style, this dynamic duo helps you achieve effortless results while ensuring overall hair health.
