Simple Tips For A Natural Home Hair Spa




It is every woman's dream (and many men's, too), to have rich, healthy, luxurious locks. Television advertisements and unrealistic models turn this dream into a craze, and more money is spent experimenting with chemicals than you could imagine!
Having lovely hair depends on more than the mere use of chemicals and creams that claim to turn you overnight into a modern 'Rapunzel'. What really is needed, is to take good care of your hair and treat it well for it to look good. A home hair spa doesn't burn a hole in your pocket and is a great way to ensure that your hair looks its best, naturally. Are you ready to get started? Follow the three steps elaborated below, once a week, and you will be amazed at the results.
Massage Your Hair With Oil
The best oils that work for a home hair spa are almond oil, olive oil or coconut oil. Soak a few henna leaves and fenugreek seeds in the oil of your choice, overnight. Dip a cotton ball into the oil the next morning and gently apply it to your entire scalp. Once this is done, massage your scalp with your fingertips for five minutes.
Shampoo Your Hair
One of the biggest mistakes many women make is that they don't really shampoo their hair right. While some don't wet their hair enough before shampooing, others fail to understand the benefits of really getting the best out of their shampoo.
Choose a mild shampoo, preferably free of chemicals. Wet your hair thoroughly, lather your shampoo on your hands and then gently massage it directly into your scalp. Use lukewarm water to wash your hair and repeat the process if you feel your hair is still greasy.
Condition Your Hair
A conditioner, to your hair, is as important as a moisturizer is, to your skin. Always condition your hair after you shampoo it. You have much choice ahead of you, with the market catering to different hair types and conditioners claiming to do everything possible (or even impossible). Always opt for conditioners that are rich in proteins. While your hair is slightly damp, spread the conditioner out evenly, avoiding your scalp. Wrap a dry towel around your head and wash it off after an hour if you want to go in for deep conditioning. If you just want to give your hair some basic conditioning, leave the conditioner on for five minutes and rinse it off with lukewarm water.
Always towel-dry your hair and avoid being rough with your hair. Never comb your hair while it is still wet as your hair is extremely delicate and prone to breakage when wet. Use your fingers to remove tangles and air dry your hair. If you absolutely have to use a hair drier, limit how frequently you use it, and always ensure that your hair is towel-dried before using a hair drier.
As always, too much of a good thing can have negative results. While a home hair spa does wonders, resist the temptation to overdo it. Pampering your hair once a week (or twice a month if time is a constraint) will bring out the best in your tresses without damaging them.
