Velatherapy is a treatment to remove open and dry ends of the hair, which consists of burning the ends of the hair, wick to wick, using the flame of a candle.
This treatment can be performed every 3 months, but should only be performed in the salon by an experienced hairdresser or a qualified professional, as it is a treatment that uses fire, which can be dangerous if performed otherwise.
Bicycle therapy is performed by the hairdresser as follows
Step 1: First with dry hair, the hairdresser begins by separating the different locks of hair, curly so that the open ends are more visible on the outside, this process is performed throughout the hair.
Step 2: Then, stretching each lock well, the hairdresser uses a candle to burn the sharp tips, making quick movements with the candle flame along each lock;
Step 3: Once the ends are burned, the hairdresser checks with her fingers if there are no split ends, then goes on to embroider the hair. Embroidery is a technique that is used later, which consists of cutting the burnt ends, ensuring a better result and a complete elimination of the damaged ends.
Step 4: The professional completes the whole process by unrolling all the hair and applying creams or performing other treatments to moisturize and give more shine to the strands.
Velatherapy results can be seen right at the end of treatment, but sometimes open ends may appear after hair wash. This treatment can be done in hairdressing or salon and its price can vary between 300 and 500 reais.
