Ever wanted to know why Asian hair looks so soft, shiny and full of lustrous volume? Many Asian women use a very special regime which is still unheard of in many other cultures but works extremely effectively.

I’ve been using olive oil on my hair for those moments when it is dry and in need of some serious hydration and rescue. I think a great product for you to try if you are an olive oil ‘newbie’ is Vatika Hair Oil Olive 200ml. This range although unheard of in the UK until fairly recently, packs an amazing punch in effective hair care, and I have enjoyed reviewing this range, (so mild that I used it on my kids hair too).

Step 1: BEFORE you wash or style your hair, apply a penny-sized portion of oil to dry hair and gently massage into your scalp from root to tip. Leave on your hair overnight with a shower cap on your head for optimum results.

Vatika’s Olive Enriched Oil (£3.49) is rich in antioxidants and vitamins A and E which safeguards the natural keratin in hair to lock in moisture and replenish the natural organic balance of your hair.

Step 2: Wash the oil out of your hair then shampoo as normal.

Vatika’s Black Seed Shampoo (£2.99) not only smells amazing but contains the black seed herb from Turkey which contains amino acids, fatty acids and essential minerals to keep hair strands healthy and smooth to keep hair looking and feeling in great condition.

Step 3: Next, apply a good sized amount of conditioner after shampooing and leave on your hair for a few minutes before rinsing out. Use a deep conditioning mask once a week like its Refreshing Lemon Hair Mask (£5.99) which along with lemon also contains tea tree and rosemary which together combat dandruff to give you soft, smooth hair.

Step 4: Finally to keep your hair in place and looking amazing, use a styling cream before blow drying or straightening such as the Vatika Volume and Thickness Hair Cream (£2.49) which gives you maximum body to keep your hair looking lustrous and volumized all day long.

Vatika products are stocked in TESCO, Superdrug, ASDA and Amazon.
