Dry and frizzy hair
Power, protein dose hair spa
If your hair is dry and unmanageable frizzy, this type of hair spa treatment is ideal for your mane. It helps in healthy hair growth and helps regain its lost lustre. The number of sessions for this treatment depend on how damaged and dry your hair are. Our hair is also made up of protein so this treatment helps better its condition. Also know causes of dry hair.
This treatment is often associated with straightening or rebonding. However it is meant to tame down unruly curls and soften them. Your hair is shampooed and blow-dried, after which the solution is applied with a brush and combed through the hair, and left for 20 minutes. Hair is then blow-dried once more and flat ironed. Says celebrity hairstylist Vikas Marwah, ‘This hair treatment leaves the hair with a gloss effect and straightens it up to 50%. You will see your hair feel soft and smooth within one session, lasting you for at least 3-4 months. Also, you should use a sulfate-free shampoo, so this treatment lasts you longer.’
Moroccan Oil Treatment
This hair treatment is a favourite of many. Coming from argan oil, it is non-greasy and comes to the rescue for dry and damaged hair. You could also pick up a bottle of Moroccan oil and massage your hair and scalp at home.
Ozone, high frequency hair spa treatment
This hair treatment helps eradicate dry skin cells from the scalp and increases the blood circulation. Hence, this helps in strengthening the hair follicles and increases hair growth. This is a multi-functional hair treatment as it also curbs excessive dandruff. Vikas says, ‘If you are suffering from a severe hair fall problem, it is best to stick to a mild shampoo and keep away from chemical based ones. Or you could mix some water with your shampoo for a lighter consistency.’ Here’s how you can make herbal shampoo at home.
Refining hair spa
Having an itchy scalp is a very common hair problem and a regular hair spa treatment could definitely give you some relief from it. Vikas says, ‘This spa includes fusing in an ‘m-fule’ pill to clear off the dandruff completely. The sessions, again depend on how dry and how severe your dandruff problem is.’ It helps your hair rejuvenate and relieves the scalp of the dryness and irritation caused.
