From what is hair spa, benefits of hair spa, disadvantages of hair spa to how to do hair spa at home and some important tips and quarries regarding hair spa that will surely help you to manage your hair and make them healthy and happy. Let’s get started with the meaning of hair spa….
1. What is Hair Spa?
Basically, a Hair spa is a method to make your hair healthy, strong, and shiny. Hair spa is a special treatment to treat our hair with lots of benefits. A hair spa consists of oil messaging, shampooing, conditioning, and hair masking.
Hair spa helps to recover the shine and moisture of the hair which is lost due to pollution and dryness. So in simple words hair spa is a way to pamper your dry, frizzy and dull hair. Hair spa repairs your hair which is damaged by sunlight, pollution, and stressful lifestyle. It is a deep conditioning treatment that also repairs the roots of the hair.
2. Benefits Of Hair Spa?
Now let’s move forward with the benefits of hair spa. First, we all need to know what are the benefits of a hair spa. Hair massage after hair spa increases blood circulation in the head. By this, the nerves of the head are strengthened and the roots of hair also get nourishment.
This helps in getting rid of long-standing polluting elements and chemicals in the hair scalp. It also helps to protect the hair from pollution in the air and damage from chemical hair products. Hair spa nourishes dry hairs and also cures split ends.
Hair spas help normalize the production of oil released from the hair follicles in the scalp. This can also eliminate the problem of dandruff in the head or the sticky appearance of hair. Such hair problems as dandruff, hair loss, and baldness can be cured by a hair spa treatment. A hair spa is beneficial for Boosting hair growth.
Hair spa increases blood circulation in the head. It also helps in increasing the metabolism of cells present in the skin of the scalp. Hair spa hydrates dry hair and restores the levels of natural oil on your scalp. Your hair will be healthier, smoother & more beautiful after hair spa.
3. How To Do Hair Spa At Home?
Some ladies try expensive hair treatments, then someone tries to cure their dry hair with medicines. Aghh…This process costs a lot of hours and money. And sometimes we get issues too. Various types of experiments and heat styling products are used on the hair in the parlor, Which causes the hair to lose its natural shine gradually instead of being perfect.
Therefore, instead of wasting time and money in the parlor, proper hair treatment should be done at home.
Here is a step-by-step guide to doing a hair spa at home.
- Oiling or Head massage
- Steaming
- Shampooing
- Conditioning
- Hair masking
These are the steps of a hair spa at home and now I’m gonna tell you every step in detail.
Oiling or Head Massage:
The first step of hair spa is oiling. It deeply nourishes hair. For oiling, you can use your favorite hair oil or oil such as mustard oil, coconut oil or almond oil then warm it on the stove and apply it to the hair with your fingertips and massage your head with palms. For oily hair massage only with virgin coconut oil.
Tip: If your hair is very dirty, clean the hair with shampoo before oiling. Never start a hair spa with dirty hair.
Steaming:
After the head massage, the second step of hair spa at home is steaming which is a really important part of hair spa. In the parlor, they use steaming machines but at home, we can use a warm towel. So if you want the oil and its properties to go deep in your head, Then steam the hair after oiling.
To give steam You boil water in a wide pot or vessel(Heat the water as much as the temperature is tolerable), Now take a cotton towel. soak a towel in hot water and squeeze the towel. After this, wrap the towel neatly in the hair and tie it for 10 minutes. When the towel is cooled down, soak it once again in warm water and squeeze it and wrap it in hair.
You can do this 2–3 times. This will open the closed pores of the roots and the oil will get better in the hair. And there will be increased blood circulation on your scalp or scalp.
Shampooing and conditioning:
After steaming the third step of the hair spa is shampooing. Now wash the hair with a mild or any herbal shampoo. Hair should be washed only with cold water. Do not attempt to wash the hair with warm water at all, otherwise, hair fall will occur.
We will use the conditioner after hair wash to prevent frizziness of hair and make them soft and silky. You can use a regular conditioner or any conditioner that is available in your home.
Hair masking:
And the fifth step of a hair spa at home is a Hair mask. A nourishing hair mask is important. There are many hair masks available in the market or parlors but as we are doing hair spa at home so we only use natural ingredients to do a natural and easy hair spa at home.
I’m telling you some easy-to-make hair masks that will help you to do a hair spa at home. I’m sharing this review of my experience.
Banana+honey+coconut oil:
This mask can also be easily made at home. Mix one mashed Banana, a spoonful of honey, and a little coconut oil in a plastic or non-metallic bowl. Bananas make hair soft. You can also use olive oil instead of coconut oil. Leave this mask on for 20 minutes. Later wash the hair with a mild shampoo.
Curd+honey:
Take curd in a bowl according to your hair length then add 2 tbsp of honey and mix it well. Now apply it to your hairs. There is vitamin D in curd which fights with dandruff and also makes our hair shiny and soft. There are antioxidant properties in honey that prevent our hair from breakages.
And these masks will make our hair smooth, shiny, and strong. Now secure your hair with Bobby pins or hair clips and wait for 15-20 mins. And then wash your hair and don’t forget to condition.
And your hair spa is done, ladies. Isn’t this easy and affordable? Obviously, this is!! Now let me answer some questions about hair spa.
Do not stop oiling after hair spa, regular oiling after hair spa is very important to make hair soft and strong. Do not ignore the conditioner after the hair spa. The use of conditioner helps to maintain the hair spa effect for a long time and also maintains hair shine. Also do not forget to use hair serum with a regular conditioner.
Keep your hair away from sunlight and pollution while going out of the house. For this, you can cover your hair with a scarf or a hat.
Do not use hair wash or water on hair for 2-3 days of hair spa. Deep conditioning of hair is done at the hair spa. In such a situation, if you wash your hair immediately, the moisture will come out and you will not get any benefit from the spa.
Taking a hot shower after a hair spa will also spoil your hair. Hot showers damage hair moisturizer And this also ends the advantage of the spa. So always prefer lukewarm water. Avoid getting your hair colored or highlighted for some time after getting it done. Apart from this, do not get any treatment done in the hair.
Do not use heat or styling tools for some time. If you want to use them then apply anti-heat spray on the hair first. Using a wide comb to comb your hair is perfect for you. This will get your hair properly sorted and not break.
Though if you do hair spa at home then there are no disadvantages or anything. But if you do a hair spa from a parlour then these are the things you should know about…
1.Hair Spa makes hair soft and strong, but you should not get hair spa done more than 2 times a month. Having a hair spa in excess can end the shine of the hair.
2. If you apply color or henna to the hair, then the hair spa removes the color of your hair. So do a Hair Spa with a good shampoo and conditioner.
The method of hair spa that I have told you above, you can do it on any type of hair type. But if you have more problems with dandruff then you can make changes to your hair mask. I am telling you about a hair mask which is good for dandruff.
The magical fenugreek mask, What you will need:
4 tbsp fenugreek seeds, or you can also say methi seeds
1 tbsp lemon juice
How to Make: Soak the seeds overnight in a small bowl and in the morning make a paste with 1 tbsp lemon juice. Apply the paste through the length of your hair and let it dry for 30mins. Wash it off with cold water and a mild shampoo.
There is no age limit to get a hair spa done. Just make sure the products used are not too harsh for your scalp and hair. Please prefer a hair spa at home with natural ingredients. This will never damage your hairs. You can also talk to any hair spa professional and stylists.
Getting a hair spa treatment done 2 times a month is recommended. Or you can do it once a month like me.
Hair spa treatment prices average range between Rs. 500 to Rs. 2000
And if you do a hair spa at home then it’s much better.
I have told you the number of benefits of a hair spa. It’s really a great and easy method to make your hair healthy and happy again.
Absolutely Yes! A hair spa is really beneficial for hairs.
