Struggling with hair concerns like hair fall, frizzy and dull hair, or brittleness? Or perhaps you just want to lend a new lease of life to your hair for a special occasion? No matter the reason, a hair spa is the ultimate solution for some much-needed TLC for your strands. Consider it like an intense shot of nutrients to your hair and scalp, that penetrate deep to leave your hair looking visibly smoother, softer and stronger. Special hair spa treatments can also aid with concerns like dandruff and hair fall.
Below discover the advantages of a hair spa.
1. Strengthens the roots
A hair spa not only deposits important nutrients directly to your scalp, but also includes heat and massage to gently stimulate the blood circulation in your scalp, which in turn strengthens your roots. This prevents hair fall and also promotes healthier hair growth.
2. Detoxifies your scalp
The pores on your scalp can become clogged with sebum, dirt and a build-up of the hair care products you use. These can lead to issues like hair fall, dull hair, stunted hair growth and dandruff. Hair spas benefit your overall hair health by detoxifying your scalp, cleansing it of any build-up and delivering intense nourishment to your roots.

3. Increases softness and shine
A hair spa deep conditions every strand of your hair to deliver an intense dose of moisture to your locks. This reduces frizz and makes your hair smoother, softer and more manageable. It also adds a healthy shine to your hair and makes it less prone to breakage and split ends.
4. Relieves stress
A hair spa is a relaxing ritual that allows you to some much-needed me time to unwind. After all, a good head massage has forever been used to alleviate stress and anxiety. Managing your stress also promotes hair growth and healthy hair in the long term.
Hair spa at home
Now that you’re aware of the benefits of doing a hair spa, here’s how you can try it from the comfort of your home. Just follow these simple steps to indulge in this healthy hair care ritual.
1. Set some time aside!
A hair spa takes anywhere between 2-4 hours, so make sure you’re free and unbothered to relax and enjoy your hair spa. Take time out on a weekend and get your favourite book or playlist ready.
2. Deep oil massage for your scalp
Warm up some hair oil (make sure it’s not too hot) and apply onto your scalp. Massage in gentle circular motions to really work it in and ensure that your roots receive all the goodness of the oil. Feel free to make a hair oil cocktail and mix in essential oils to target specific concerns (rosemary oil works great for hair fall!).
3. Wrap it up
Next, secure your hair into a loose bun or ponytail and wrap it in a hot towel. This will not only open up the pores on your scalp but will also aid in better absorption of the nutrients provided by the oils. You can also wear a shower cap instead. Wait for 1-2 hours to let all the goodness soak in.
4. Mask it up
After shampooing off the oils, apply a hair mask of your choice onto the lengths of your hair. Make sure you coat every strand evenly. Hair masks are rich in proteins, ceramides and other ingredients that restore shine, softness and hydration to your hair, while also strengthening the hair shaft. Leave this on for a good 10 minutes.
5. Handle with care
Once you’ve washed away the mask, be careful not to vigorously rub a towel on your wet strands as this could lead to breakage, a microfiber towel is always a good idea. Next, use a smoothening hair serum to detangle and add shine, and you’re good to go!
