Essential Hair Care Accessories and Products – Viola’s Expert Recommendations

Healthy, beautiful hair doesn’t start with styling – it starts with the right care routine. At Viola, we often say that the tools and products you use every day matter just as much as the hair itself. The good news? The same high-quality accessories and formulas work perfectly for both natural hair and hair extensions.

In this guide, we share Viola’s expert recommendations for essential hair care accessories and products, explain the differences between them, and show you when, how and why to use each one to keep hair in its best condition.

Why the Right Hair Care Tools Matter

Hair is delicate – especially when it’s exposed to brushing, heat styling, hard water or environmental stress. Using the wrong tools can cause unnecessary breakage, tangling and dryness.

Well-chosen hair care accessories protect the hair structure, reduce friction and help distribute natural oils evenly. This is particularly important for hair extensions, but it benefits natural hair just as much.

Brushes and Combs – Choosing the Right One

Not all brushes are created equal. Each type serves a different purpose and should be used at the right moment.

Oval Bristle Brush

The Viola Oval Bristle Brush is ideal for everyday use.

When to use it:

• On dry or slightly damp hair
• For gentle detangling and smoothing

Why it works:
Natural bristles help distribute oils from the scalp through the lengths, leaving hair smoother and shinier without pulling.

Ceramic Brush

The Ceramic Brush is designed for blow-drying.

When to use it:

• During heat styling
• To create volume and smoothness

Why it works:
Ceramic barrels distribute heat evenly, reducing drying time and helping hair maintain moisture.

Wooden Pin Brush

The Wooden Pin Brush is perfect for sensitive scalps.

When to use it:

• On dry hair
• For gentle daily brushing

Why it works:
Wooden pins minimise static and massage the scalp, supporting healthy hair growth.

Loop Brush

The Loop Brush is a must-have for anyone wearing extensions.

When to use it:

• Daily detangling of hair extensions
• Before and after styling

Why it works:
The flexible loop design glides between bonds or tapes, preventing snagging and breakage.

Wide Tooth Comb

A Wide Tooth Comb is essential after washing.

When to use it:

• On wet or damp hair
• After conditioning

Why it works:
It gently detangles without stretching or damaging wet hair, which is at its most vulnerable.

Hair Care Sprays and Treatments – What They Do and When to Use Them

Beyond tools, the right products support hair strength, hydration and colour longevity.

Extension Boost

Extension Boost is a deep conditioning hair mask designed to restore softness and moisture.

When to use it:

• After washing, on damp hair
• As an intensive treatment 1–2 times a week

Why it works:
It deeply nourishes and smooths the hair, improving elasticity and manageability without weighing it down — making it ideal for both hair extensions and natural hair.

Protein Spray

The Protein Spray supports hair strength.

When to use it:

• After washing
• During periods of dryness or weakness

Why it works:
Protein helps reinforce the hair structure, making strands more resilient to daily stress.

Purple Shampoo

The Purple Shampoo is designed for blonde, silver and cool-toned hair.

When to use it:

• Once every 1–2 weeks
• When hair starts to look brassy

Why it works:
It neutralises unwanted yellow tones while keeping hair fresh and bright.

Protecting Hair from Heat and Water Damage

Thermal Protection Serum

The Thermal Protection Serum is essential before styling.

When to use it:

• Before blow-drying, straightening or curling

Why it works:
It creates a protective barrier that reduces heat damage and helps maintain smoothness.

Malibu C Hard Water Wellness System

The Malibu C Hard Water Wellness System Kit is designed to remove mineral build-up.

When to use it:

• Every few weeks
• Especially if you live in a hard water area

Why it works:
Minerals can dull hair colour and cause dryness. This system restores softness and shine without stripping the hair.

Why These Hair Care Products Work for Natural Hair and Extensions

The key to great hair care is consistency and gentleness. The accessories and products recommended by Viola are designed to support the hair’s structure rather than stress it.

Whether you’re caring for your own natural hair or wearing extensions, these tools help:

• reduce breakage
• maintain moisture
• protect colour
• improve overall hair condition

This makes them a reliable choice for everyday routines.
