Any hair treatment begins with washing your hair with shampoo to remove all the dirt as well as oil from your hair. Start with gently massaging your scalp with shampoo. Make sure that you don’t even miss out on a single strand. Keep going on for fifteen minutes. Gentle massage will help you relieve stress and trust me; you will feel great. it will be refreshing and relaxing the whole time you massage. Now let the water cascade down your scalp while the shampoo gets washed off slowly. Hair washes with shampoo is an essential step as it helps you clean all the sweat and dirt clogged in there.

After the long shampoo session, go for intense conditioning afterward. Make sure that you use the same brand of your shampoo itself. It often gives the best results. But yes in the end, what matters is the product that suits your hair needs. So go ahead with the conditioner of another Brand if that suits you well enough. Just don’t use it too much on the scalp but on the hair strands. It’s basically for smoothening your hair. Wash your hair, squeeze out the extras and apply the conditioner. Let it stay for a few minutes. Lastly, wash it off with lukewarm water as I mentioned earlier.

Apply the cream in each section one by one and don’t miss out on any strand. Finally divide each of the sections further so that hair gets the cream properly.

1.Strength hair roots: the main and most important purpose of hair spa. Hair spa strengthens hair roots, nourishes hair follicles and revitalizes your scalp. Most of the time hair fall is caused due to a weak hair root. Hair spa will give strength to roots and thus will reduce hair fall gradually.

2.Improves blood circulation: massage during hair spa help increase blood circulation. This enables hair follicle to get more nutrients from your bloodstream. Due to which your scalp health will improve.

3.Protects from dandruff: yes! You can get rid of those white flakes.  A hair spa will reduce your dandruff. Dandruff is caused due to dry scalp, excess oil production, stress, environmental pollution. Hair spa massage relaxes brain nerves to get relief from stress. This will reduce excess dandruff and dryness in your scalp. Beauties with dandruff will have to take few sessions to get rid of dandruff completely. This completely depends on your hair, scalp and dandruff intensity.

4.Balance oil secretion: Sebaceous glands secrete natural oil which is present on our scalp. Too much or too little of anything is always bad. The same is with natural oils. Excessive oil will cause blocking of pores on the scalp leading to infections and weakening of hair. Less oil will result in dry scalp and white flakes.

5.Manage frizzy, dry hair: frizz is a big no-no. But curly hair always has a lot of frizz and it is difficult to manage. Hair spa comes to your rescue. Oiling and conditioning will help you tame the fizz. A spa will also add a good shine and texture to your hair. Repairs damage caused due to dryness.

6.Reduces stress: the most advantageous thing. Hair spa involves head and scalp massage. Massage primarily helps to eliminate stress which is one of the reasons for hair problems. Due to massage blood circulation increases which relaxes nerve endings. Hence we get a stressed-free feeling.

    This a great article and I learnt a lot. I did not even know about steaming our hair. I’m definitely going to give that a go at home.
    I think I would go to someone for the scalp massage though as I don’t think It would be the same, massaging my own scalp.
