DIY Hair Spa: Three steps for doing hair spa treatment at home

Hitting the spa can be costly and time-consuming. Some women who work visit spas on their day off and this, sometimes, affects their family time. However, there are ways to do hair spa treatment at home as well.  A home hair spa treatment can be a great way of relaxing at home with family and friends. Doing hair spa helps in tackling dry, brittle, frizzy, or damaged hair effectively. Here we have listed steps to do hair spa treatment at home

Step 1: Massaging the Scalp

Prepare an oil mixture by combining two tablespoons of coconut oil or olive oil and warm the mixture. Once the mixture of oil is ready, use it to massage the scalp and the hair for at least five minutes. Now, wrap a good thick towel around the head and cover the hair as it will keep the head warm. After five to six minutes, take out the towel and wash the hair with lukewarm water. Also, make sure the shampoo that is used is mild. A person can use the conditioner if their hair is too dry.

Step 2: Applying a Hair Mask

Choosing and preparing the hair mask is very important. There are many types of hair masks a person can apply. One can either choose to use a store-bought hair mask or just prepare it at home. There are many homemade hair masks like bananas-olive oil, honey-yoghurt, and pumpkin-based hair-mask that you can use. Apply the mask to the hair, especially on the roots. Drape a towel or a hair dyeing cape around the shoulders. Covering the hair with a shower cap will keep it clean and will also help in trapping the heat from the scalp.

Step 3: Wash the Hair Mask

Let the hair mask dry for 15-30 minutes. Wash the mask with lukewarm water. Let the hair dry in the air and do not use the hairdryer. Hairdryers will damage the hair.
