It is that time of year again — a specific day invented by card companies to honour fathers. Though in reality, the celebrate the bond between father and child should be celebrated every single day, there is no harm in demarcating one specific day for an extra celebration. The occasion can be marked through culinary treats or through an exchange of thoughtful gifts. If there is one thing most of you would agree on, it is that men are notoriously difficult to shop for. Some men hate shopping, tending to hold on to their precious favourite things for years on end, till they are in tatters! Even when asked what they want or need, most often the simple answer is ‘nothing’. This year, one should consider giving them something useful as well as unique — customised ayurvedic hair care products based on their individual needs from the Vedix brand.
The way it works is, you take a quick dosha quiz on their website vedix.com, along with your father. Based on his responses, you receive customised hair care solutions for him, which can be purchased in a beautiful gift hamper, to make sure that your father has an effective hair care regimen, formulated especially for him. Here is a little glimpse of the products on offer.
Most men of a certain age are battling variations of male pattern balding. Even if they are blessed with a fine head of hair, they often have to deal with a slowly yet steadily receding hairline. What then will they appreciate the most? A hair re-growth serum that is easy to use, with no smell or grease. The Vedix Men Care Hair Re-Growth Serum, retailing for Rs 1299 treats follicle roots on a micro-level.
Since it is water-based, the serum is easily absorbed into the scalp for maximum effectiveness. This helps the hair follicles absorb the benefits of the herbs and essential oils directly, and keeps the hair healthy, bouncy and shiny. The product contains gunja to promote hair growth, kumari to repair damaged hair, grapeseed for conditioning and cedar for its anti-inflammatory properties, along with japa for thickness, bakuchi to control greys, and bhringraj to make the hair lustrous – a mix that ensures healthy growth of hair.
For those men who battle dandruff, the Vedix Men Care Hair Re-Growth Serum with Dandruff Control is the best option. It prevents dandruff through hand-picked anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal ingredients. The serum is quick-absorbing and non-greasy and easy to apply. It contains nimba which is a proven cure for dandruff, doorva to cool the scalp, tulsi to prevent scalp infections, along with gunja, kumari, grapeseed and cedar.
For those on a tight budget with the desire to gift their father something he would truly appreciate, the Vedix Men Care Anti-Hairfall Shampoo comes in at just Rs 499. It is free of harmful ingredients like sulfates and parabens and is a natural coconut-surfactant shampoo with no added synthetics that cleanses the dirt, pollution, excess oils, dust and other particles thoroughly. It also works well in conjunction with the Vedix oil and serum. This product contains yashtimadhu to treat patchy baldness, kumari, gunja, bhringraj, and quinoa protein to add shine.
The shampoo works best when used with the Vedix Hair Conditioner, which is also made from herbal ingredients and protects the hair from external damage. It contains aloe, bhringraj, brahmi, and hibiscus for hair growth, and shea butter, cocoa butter and mango butter for tangle-free hair. It is designed to keep your hair bouncy and voluminous all day.
The last of the products that can be added to this Father’s Day gift hamper, is the Vedix Men Care Anti Hair Fall Oil Aloe Vera + Licorice. It is well known that oiling the scalp is an essential step in a holistic ayurvedic hair growth regimen. The Vedix Anti-Hair Fall Oil is customised with 12 herbs that work together to nourish the hair and keep it healthy. This product contains yashtimadhu, kumari, shatavari to arrest hair fall and reduce scalp dryness, amalaki to promote hair growth, and tagara to reduce hair fall caused by hypertension and stress.
