Modern spa treatments are an art that includes wellness programs that provide both healing, rejuvenating and relaxing effects. And if it is rather difficult for the body to carry out such procedures on its own, then a spa for hair growth is a pleasure available to anyone, even at home.

Hair spa - treatments and activities

Hair spa includes a combination of such procedures and activities that positively affect the growth and strength of hair, as well as contribute to the healing of the scalp. These procedures are:

• baths: the procedure consists in applying a special shampoo suitable for this type of hair - so, for oily ones, shampoos with extracts from cucumber, mint, rosemary are used, for dry ones - products with extracts of chamomile, wheat, primrose, papaya. Vitamins in these shampoos nourish hair and moisturize hair, oils - fight inflammation and diseases of the scalp;


• massage and self-massage of the head: it is used not only as a relaxation procedure, but also for medicinal purposes - it can improve blood circulation in the scalp, thereby stimulating hair growth. For head massage, you can use special gels and oils with aromatic extracts, which will not only help enhance the relaxation effect, but also moisturize the skin;

The composition of masks and compresses for hair and scalp may include vitamins, minerals, medicinal oils, herbal extracts, as well as algae, clay and other ingredients. Masks differ from compresses in that they are applied to the hair and then washed off with water. When applying compresses, the hair with the applied agent is wrapped with a film, and on top with a towel, creating a "thermal dome", after which the hair should also be thoroughly rinsed;


• balms and essences: the spa treatments for the hair are completed with the application of a special balm or essence, which nourishes and protects the hair.

A summer vacation at the sea, which is so pleasant to remember on winter evenings, can play a cruel joke on your hair. Sea water, coupled with direct sunlight (and after all, as a child, my mother forced her to wear a panama hat) can turn luxurious curls into dry strands. Therefore, without postponing the matter "for later", after a vacation at a resort, it is imperative to visit one of the SPA-salons, whose specialists offer a variety of hair restoration programs, which, among other things, include hardware procedures and special massage heads.

Several types of SPA-therapies have been developed, aimed at caring for hair. Among them are options for long or extended, damaged and weakened hair, after dyeing or curling using chemicals. Also, SPA salons offer such a service as the selection of hairstyles, which will be performed by specialists who have professional hairdressing courses and extensive work experience behind them. You can turn into reality any of the hairstyles you like, which already suited you when you dreamily studied.

SPA treatment nourishes the hair, providing all the essential vitamins, strengthening and moisturizing it. The procedures themselves are very pleasant, and the result is noticeable after the first session. To begin with, the salon specialists offer a hair bath with a spreading massage, during which the shampoo is gently applied to each strand and slightly foamed to maximize its effect.

Then the hair is rinsed, and a head massage begins with the use of a special gel that has a relaxing effect. At this time, the blood supply to the vessels that feed the hair improves, as well as the circulation of lymph. Moreover, the massage technique is selected individually in each case in order to prepare as much as possible for the third stage - applying a hair mask.

Along the entire length of each of the strands, foam is distributed based on the "kera-sulfur" preparation, designed to restore the structure of damaged hair, as well as for care after highlighting, coloring or perm... After that, a cream-mask is applied, saturating the hair with lipids, which help to strengthen each individual hair, both from the inside and outside. Means are selected taking into account the type of hair, there are options for masks for oily hair or.

The next technology in SPA-salons began to be used recently, but there are already hundreds of rave reviews about it. It uses the apparatus "Roller Ball" - an infrared thermal dome. The device creates the effect of molecular stimulation, due to which the medicinal components penetrate the hair structure, nourishing the roots and scalp. The procedure itself is accompanied by uniform distribution warmth, creating an atmosphere of comfort and pleasant relaxation.

At the next stage, the hair is washed, and a regenerating balm is applied to it, covering each hair with a protective film. After it, they become unusually soft and shiny. Further, the scalp is treated with essence and a special oil that protects it from negative external influences, which include not only natural phenomena, but also work in a room with conditioned air, the use of hair dryers, and the like. The effect lasts for several days. And finally, the finishing touch is a shine lotion. Its main task is to strengthen the hair, while it becomes elastic and soft, and you can forget about split ends for a long time.

Thick and shiny hair will decorate any girl. Spa hair care will help to achieve such a result in a fairly short time. The procedures are selected according to the type of hair and its structure. Specialized products penetrate deeply into hair and skin.
