Ever been horrified by the amount of hair you are losing? If you are one of those people who are tired of the attempts made to revive your hair but has failed, we have two words for you: hair spa. A hair spa treatment nourishes your hair and is designed to strengthen hair follicles, revitalize the scalp and roots of your hair, eventually aiding in the natural re-growth of damaged, broken or fallen hair. While it’s normal to lose 100-200 strands of hair a day, more than that needs serious intervention. Which is why a hair spa is what you need. This post talks about the four basic hair spa steps from top salons that you must follow. But if you want to read about the advantages and disadvantages of hair spa, we have you covered there as well.

Hair Spa Procedure At Parlour You Can Try At Home

Step 1. It Starts With a Looong Shampoo Session

A basic hair spa procedure starts with washing your hair with a shampoo. It typically starts with massaging your scalp gently with the shampoo and working its way down to every single strand of hair. The step goes on for over 10-15 minutes, keeping you relaxed and calm during the whole time. They let the water cascade down your scalp as the shampoo gets washed off. Hair wash helps in cleaning your hair of dirt, grime and sweat that may have clogged your scalp. Once your hair is thoroughly cleaned, they are ready to soak in the nutrients of the creams and oils that will follow next.

Hair Spa at Home – How to do this step

Take a mild sulphate-free shampoo and gently massage your scalp in smooth circular motions. Massaging your scalp for 15 minutes can get tiring, but that’s the amount of time require to get the blood circulation in that area up and going. To make it easier, pace yourself out in three 5-minute sessions.

Step 2. Next Comes the Conditioner

After shampooing, we move to intense conditioning of your damaged hair. Most salons and Urban Company use the same brand of conditioner as your shampoo. This is often the case as shampoos and conditioners give best results when the same brand is used.

If you prefer a conditioner of another brand that suits your hair, go ahead and use it. Just remember that conditioners are applied on hair strands and not your scalp. After washing your hair, squeeze out extra water and apply the conditioner. Let it stay for 2 minutes before washing it off with cold water.

Step 3. Hair Spa Creams – The Most Important Step

Any hair spa service is incomplete without the application of therapeutic hair spa creams. These are nourishing creams that repair, strengthen and soften your hair.

Hair Spa at Home – How to do this step

If you are trying to do hair spa at home, then this is the most crucial step. Pour out the cream into a bowl and keep a brush handy for applying the cream. Using a comb and clips create 6 sections on your head. Now, one by one, apply the cream in each section using the brush. Remember, every section will have to be further divided so that every strand of hair gets the cream. The main aim is to cover all the stands with the cream. After this, give yourself an intense head massage. The process relaxes and lightens your mind and senses. This procedure again can go on easily for another 20 minutes.

Step 4. It Ends With a Relaxing Steam treatment

In most salons, heat treatment is given via a steam machine. The heat helps open up the pores and allows nutrients to be absorbed faster and better by your scalp.

Hair Spa at Home – How to do this step

Instead of a steamer, you can use a hot towel. Simply dip an old towel in hot water, squeeze out the excess water, and wrap it around your hair.

You can add a hair mask at the end, or apply it on another day.  Read our blog to learn all about using HAIR MASKS FOR SOFT & SHINY HAIR
