Hair Care

Hair care is of prime importance because like our body needs nutrients for healthy functioning, our hair too needs care and nourishment. To keep your hair looking healthy and lustrous, massage it (Veola Almond Total Care) with hair oil twice in a week. There isn’t any better conditioner for your hair than hair oil. Hair oil is the only hair and scalp conditioner in the world. Contrary to the myth that hair oil does nothing but attract grime, regular oiling is a must.

Oiling hair is as good as eating food; oil is food for your hair. It penetrates each hair shaft and soothes the rough cuticles; it improves your hair health. Coconut oil (Veola Coconut Oil) is by far the best hair oil, pure coconut oil can penetrate your hair by 90%, which is quite high.

Tip: Always apply warm oil and leave it for a minimum of 4 hours and maximum 24 hours, twice a week. Also avoid going out with hair oil on, as oil along with dust particles can clog the pores.

Hair colouring is not as easy and simple as it may sound. Having coloured your hair, after care is very essential. If coloured hair is not taken care of, they can become dry, brittle and lifeless. Ever wondered how all those celebrities have such dazzling hair? The trick lies in a good hair care regime and use of quality herbal products. Once in a fortnight treat your tresses with a deep hair conditioning treatment (Veola Hamaam Zait) to keep them in good condition and to retain its shine and lustre.

Tip: Do not shampoo your hair for 48 hours, post colouring. This time is required for the colour to settle in the hair shaft. Don’t take steam if you have coloured your hair, since it opens the cuticles and makes the hair dry and the colour may fade.

Hair colouring doesn’t stop with the application alone. The hair needs to be constantly cared for if you want the colour to be retained. Using conditioners (Veola Colour Lock) designed specially for coloured hair is a good way to maintain coloured hair.

Tip: Avoid washing your hair with hot water. Hot water is known to be a good agent to wash away artificial colours and chemicals from the hair. So avoid hot water at all costs.

Shining and silky hair is always a bonus which makes you look drop dead gorgeous. How often have we wished for that extra shine which seems to add a new life to the hair? With increasing pollution, dust in the atmosphere, constant air conditioning takes a toll on the health of your hair making it dull and lifeless. Well, the good news is that by using the right hair cream (Veola Hair Cream) you can boost the shine of your hair.

Tip: Hair is at its weakest when wet. So don’t rub it. Wrap it around with a towel so that all the water is absorbed and no longer wet but damp. Comb the damp hair slowly with a comb which is wide-toothed and then let the hair dry naturally.

Having a bad hair day! Your hair just won’t do what you want it to and you can feel the anger and frustration starting to build up. Most of us suffer with dry brittle or frizzy hair because our hair is deficient of moisture. Reducing your hair’s exposure to heat and natural elements is the first step towards prevention. Try to avoid using blow-dryers and heat-styling implements frequently. The trick is to use conditioners (Veola Hair Revitalizer and De-tangler) with silicone serum to help seal in moisture and add a bit of shine.

Tip: If you want to wear your hair down but things aren’t going your way, try putting it up into a casual low-slung ponytail and add a few ringlets to frame your face using the brilliant hair styles.
