Soothing Veil Or Cooling Veil: Which One Is For You?

So you took the leap and tried these braided in extensions....

You're confident, happy, in love… finally feeling like you. it’s bold and freeing, and when you catch your reflection, you smile a little longer because it feels right this time. 

This isn’t just a hairstyle; it’s a decision, a declaration, a reminder that you’re allowed to be as beautiful and complex as you are.

but then the real part sets in….the part no one posts about.

Your scalp starts whispering. Sometimes it’s a little itch. Your scalp is adjusting. 

Sometimes it’s that tight, stretched feeling from a new install and you realize beauty isn’t always just ease and glow; sometimes it’s learning to care for the new version of yourself.

That's exactly where the idea for our veils came from.

Wildcrafted beauty has always paid attention to what women actually feel not just how they look. We've built everything on listening. We listen when you tell us your scalp feels tight after installation. We listen when you say you need something refreshing between washes and we listen when you admit that sometimes you just want to feel cared for, even when nothing’s wrong.

Cooling veil was our first answer. It was born from countless conversations and late-night testing, trying to capture that moment of ahh….. the deep breath of relief your scalp craves when it’s irritated or hot or tired. 

We wanted it to feel like peace in a bottle, like finally scratching an itch you couldn’t reach.

From the very first spray, Cooling veil delivers instant calm. crisp peppermint hits first…. bright, awakening then rosemary and eucalyptus follow like a wave of clarity. aloe vera juice and nourishing oils work quietly underneath, easing tension, soothing irritation, bringing your scalp back to balance. It's not sticky, not heavy, not perfumey. just clean, fresh, and deeply cooling.

Whether you’ve just installed a new set of braid-ins or you’re a few weeks into wearing extensions, this mist is your go-to moment of comfort. It calms the itch, eases dryness, and refreshes your crown like a breath of cold air on a warm day. You can spray it directly onto sore spots, run it through your roots, or mist it all over after a workout….it even gives your extensions a light sanitizing boost so your scalp feels fresh and revived.

That's why I always say Cooling veil isn’t just about masking discomfort. It restores peace. It helps your scalp recover, breathe, and feel alive again. It's got aloe vera juice to hydrate, jojoba and apricot oil to soften, sweet almond oil for moisture, and colloidal silver to gently cleanse. it’s rich in vitamins a through e, which feed your scalp exactly what it’s been asking for. every ingredient was chosen to bring your crown back to calm.

and yet, as much as women loved cooling veil, the messages kept coming. they said,

 “Berlin, I love that tingle, but sometimes I just want something softer.” 

“Can I use it every day?” 

“what if my scalp is just sensitive, not irritated?”

so we went back to the mixing table.

That's how Soothing veil was born. where the cooling veil wakes your scalp up, Soothing Veil wraps it in comfort. It's slower, warmer, more tender…. a gentle sigh of relief for queens who crave calm.

from the moment you spray it, the energy shifts. The scent is serenity itself: bright lavender kissed with a little sweetness, grounded by copaiba and manuka, and lifted by soft grapefruit notes. 

It smells like peace. 

It smells like rest. 

It smells like everything your nervous system needs after a long day of carrying yourself with grace.

The texture is light and silky, never oily or heavy. Soothing veil softens, hydrates, and quiets any hint of tension. it’s what you reach for when your scalp feels tight after styling or when your extensions pull just a little too much. The aloe vera base instantly cools, while our proprietary essential oil blend brings in natural anti-inflammatory and numbing properties and just like every wildcrafted beauty formula, it’s hormone-conscious….meaning it supports your body instead of fighting against it.

This one truly is comfort in a bottle. I use it as part of my daily ritual, spraying it in the morning before I start the day or at night when I'm unwinding. That's the difference….where cooling veil gives you immediate relief, Soothing veil gives you daily balance. One is for those sharp moments of discomfort; the other is for the ongoing tenderness of self-care.

We believe beauty should feel sustainable, so both come in 200 ml glass bottles and 200 ml refill pouches — less waste, same ritual. Small choices like that matter. The bottles look beautiful on your vanity, but more importantly, they remind you to slow down and take a breath.

Sometimes I think of these two veils as sisters — different energies but same heart. Cooling veil is the spark, the crisp inhale that resets you when you’re overwhelmed. Soothing veil is the exhale, the warmth that follows once you’ve found your calm. You don’t have to pick one forever; most queens end up using both, depending on the season, their scalp, or their mood.

That's what I love about how this community uses our products — intuitively.

We never wanted to tell you what you should do.

We just wanted to give you choices that meet you where you are.

Some mornings your scalp will crave peppermint and eucalyptus. 

Other days it’ll want lavender and manuka. Both are right. Both are care.

And honestly, that’s what this whole brand is built on. not perfection. not performance. but paying attention. Every formula we make starts with a conversation. Someone tells us about her scalp, her extensions, her wash days, her routine. we listen. then we create. We test everything ourselves, in our homes, in our daily lives before it ever reaches yours. If it doesn’t make your life easier, it doesn’t make the cut.

When you think about it, caring for dreadlocks is really about listening to your scalp, to your hair, to your energy. Your crown tells you everything you need to know. dryness means she needs hydration. tightness means she needs relief. and that’s what both of these veils were made for: to help you respond with kindness instead of frustration.

because your crown carries you through every season, every mood, every transformation. it deserves softness. It deserves patience. it deserves the same level of care you give to everyone else.

and maybe that’s what makes these sprays more than products. They're daily reminders to slow down. to touch your scalp, breathe, and ask yourself how you feel. It's such a small act, shaking a bottle, misting your roots but it’s an act of devotion. 

it’s how you say to yourself, “I'm paying attention.”

Soothing veil and cooling veil might be opposites in sensation, but they share the same truth: you don’t have to choose between beautiful and comfortable. you get to have both. your beauty routine should feel like self-respect, not maintenance.

and i’ll say this, i know what it’s like to want to look your best but feel overwhelmed by it. i’ve been there. That's why wildcrafted beauty exists. to make sure you never have to pick between your crown and your comfort again.

so if your scalp is itching, burning, or begging for relief, reach for cooling veil. let it calm the fire. feel the peppermint, the eucalyptus, the rosemary bringing your crown back to peace. and if your scalp just wants balance, hydration, and a little everyday care — reach for soothing veil. let the lavender and manuka and grapefruit quiet everything that’s been loud inside you.

They're both acts of love. They're both created for you.

Every time you use them, remember this, you’re not just refreshing your scalp; you’re connecting with yourself. You're caring for the part of you that carries your beauty, your energy, your story. That's not small. That's everything.

So whichever veil you choose today, do it slowly. Shake the bottle, take a breath, spray, and let your crown drink it in. You'll feel it, that little shift from tired to peaceful, from tense to grounded. That's what we make these for.

because you deserve to feel comfortable in your beauty.

You deserve a crown that feels as confident as you look.

You deserve care that listens back.
