FAQs

How often should I apply the Sun Care Protective Hair Veil?

Apply generously and evenly before sun exposure. For prolonged outdoor activities, heavy sweating, or after swimming, it's advisable to reapply every few hours to maintain optimal protection.

Is this product truly water-resistant?

Yes, the Aveda Sun Care Protective Hair Veil is designed to be water-resistant, providing protection even during light water activities. However, for extended periods in water or heavy sweating, reapplication is recommended.

Can I use this product on color-treated hair?

Absolutely! This veil is specifically formulated to help minimize color fading caused by UV exposure, making it an excellent choice for maintaining the vibrancy of color-treated hair.

What kind of protection does it offer against UV rays?

It offers protection against both UVA and UVB rays through plant-derived filters sourced from wintergreen and cinnamon bark oils, helping to prevent sun damage and dryness.

Does it leave any residue or make hair stiff?

No, the formula is lightweight and designed to create an invisible screen. When applied correctly, it should not leave any noticeable residue or make your hair feel stiff or crunchy.

What does being 'part of a three-part defense and recovery system' mean?

This product is the protective step in Aveda's Sun Care system. The full system likely includes a cleansing and conditioning product designed to work synergistically to protect, cleanse, and restore hair exposed to sun, salt, and chlorine.

Is it suitable for sensitive scalps?

While the product features plant-derived ingredients and is generally gentle, individuals with very sensitive scalps should always perform a patch test before full application to ensure no irritation occurs.

Troubleshooting

Hair still feels dry/damaged after use in sun.

Ensure you are applying the veil generously and evenly to all exposed hair. For prolonged exposure or intense sun, reapply every few hours. Consider using the full Aveda Sun Care 3-part system for enhanced defense and recovery.

Product feels heavy or makes my hair look greasy.

The product is designed to be lightweight. Try misting from a greater distance (8-10 inches) and use slightly less product, focusing on mid-lengths and ends rather than directly at the roots if your hair tends to get oily quickly.

The scent isn't lasting or is too subtle.

The tropical aroma is designed to be light and refreshing. If you prefer a stronger scent, you may reapply, but it's intended to be subtle. Its primary function is protection, not fragrance intensity.

Nozzle is clogged or not spraying properly.

Remove the nozzle and rinse it thoroughly under warm water to clear any dried product. If the issue persists, ensure the product is stored correctly (cool, dry place) as extreme temperatures can affect consistency.

Compatibility

  • System Integration: It is part of a three-part defense and recovery system. While effective on its own, for comprehensive hair care during sun exposure, consider pairing it with other Aveda Sun Care products (e.g., shampoo and conditioner).

Care

Proper care for your Protective Hair Veil ensures its longevity and effectiveness:

  • Storage: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to preserve the integrity of its natural ingredients.
  • Cap Security: Always ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use to prevent leakage and product evaporation.
  • Avoid Freezing: Do not allow the product to freeze, as this can alter its texture and effectiveness.
  • Nozzle Maintenance: If the nozzle becomes clogged, gently rinse it with warm water.
