Use a pure natural oil such as coconut oil, almond or olive oil for your hair. Warm the oil for few minutes and then apply it onto the roots of your scalp with your fingertips.
Massaging is an essential part of any hair spa. A proper massage will improve the blood circulation on your scalp and will promote hair growth. So gently massage your hair for 10-20 minutes.
Steaming is another important step. Steaming allows the oil you have applied on your hair to penetrate deep into your hair roots and work its magic on them as well. Just wrap a hot towel around your hair and leave it for 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, you can also use a steamer or a bowl of hot water with a towel to cover yourself, to let the steam from the bowl pass onto your hair. Wash your hair with a mild shampoo after steaming.
A hair mask is mainly used to nourish your hair and prevent hair fall. There are a lot of hair spa masks that you can try at home which is natural and effective, with no side effects.
Few easy to prepare hair masks to try at home, you may include:
After steaming, just apply any one of these hair masks (depending on the type of hair you have and your hair problems) and allow it to settle in your hair for 15-20 minutes.
Finally, wash your hair with a sulfate-free shampoo. Use a conditioner, leave it for 10 minutes before you wash it off. Use warm or cold water while rinsing your hair as hot water can damage your hair.
Repeat these five steps once a month and you have your own DIY hair spa at home!
