If you've ever switched to a "professional" brand and still ended up with flat, heavy, or inexplicably dry hair — this episode is for you.This week on The Beauty Lab Podcast, Monina interviews her co-host Velia — licensed cosmetologist and founder of Velia Beauty Co — about the product line she built specifically for women whose hair is starting to change. Because after 40, it does change: the scalp produces less oil, hair becomes more porous, texture gets wiry or thin. And most products on the market — at every price point — were not designed with that in mind.In this episode you'll learn why Velia created the line and who it's really for; what sulfates, parabens, and heavy waxes are doing to your hair even at salon prices; why sunflower seed extract functions as UV protection for color and gray hair; how quinoa reinforces the structure of a weakening hair shaft; the difference between coconut milk and standard conditioning agents; everything about the Liquid Amethyst Trio and why the formula includes actual pulverized amethyst crystal; and how to start the switch with just two products.Grab the free guide and all other links: https://veliabeautyco.com/blogs/news/whats-inside-velia-beauty-co-ingredients-explainedDon’t forget your Beauty Lab Podcast discount!  Get 20% off of your entire order.
