Velaterapia is a five-step process that involves the following steps:

Step 1:

  • Divide hair into sections.
  • Each section is twisted, one at a time.
  • The twisted hair makes the split ends the show and stands out.

Step 2:

  • After each section is twisted, a candle flame is run through the hair outlines of the twisted hair, deliberately burning hair strands that are sticking out.
  • Repeat Steps 1 and 2 repeatedly until all your hair has been covered.

Step 3:

  • Allow hair to cool.
  • Untangle your twisted hair.

Step 4:

  • Wash and treat.
  • Follow through with the deep moisturizing treatment of keratin.
  • Leave on hair for 1 hour, ideally applied with slight heating to encourage better skin absorption.

Step 5:

  • Blow dry.
  • Brush your hair back into place.

When you decide to get yourself a Velaterapia hair treatment, expect to be charged anywhere between US$ 150 to US$ depending on your hair length and volume.

Unlike the usual haircut, you can expect your hair to straighten out without sacrificing a single centimeter of your hair.

Plus, the keratin treatment that follows will leave your hair soft and shiny.

This treatment works wonders on split ends found at the center of your hair.

However, if you have dry tips, a trim may still have to be necessary to take away the dullness and dryness of your hair.

After your first session, you then will be required to get a Velaterapia treatment every month after for maintenance.
