How to give your tresses a hair spa at home

Steps to do a hair spa at home.

Do you often go to a salon and are recommended to get a hair spa? Just like you get a clean-up done for your face, a hair spa helps enhance the quality of your hair by keeping it well-nourished and pampering it to an extent. But you don't always have to head to the salon for this treatment. Doing it on your own at home is fairly easy and is certainly less expensive than a salon hair spa. But you need to take out at least an hour or so for this pampering session. We tell you how to do a hair spa at home.

What you need:

• Hair oil
• Cotton ball
• Towel
• Hot water
• Hair pack
• Shower cap
• Shampoo
• Conditioner

First, warm some oil -- pick the one best-suited for your hair such as coconut, olive, sweet almond, etc. Learn how to choose the right hair oil from Jawed Habib. Now apply it on your scalp and tips using a cotton ball. You can give yourself a head massage or champi to boost blood circulation.

Next, fill a bucket with hot water and then dip a towel in it. Quickly wrap this towel on your head. You can repeat this step multiple times for added benefit. If you have a steamer, you can skip the towel and take steam directly on your hair. This will help the oil penetrate deeper into the hair which will further enhance its condition. Did you know steam has many beauty benefits?

After this, apply a hair pack. Depending on your hair type, you can make a pack accordingly. Eggs are generally good for all hair types, even curd is quite nourishing. But if you suffer from a hair problem, try these packs. Here are different hair packs for different types of hair.

Dry hair

Greasy hair

Dandruff

• Make a paste of methi or fenugreek leaves.
• You can add some neem leaves as well for added benefit.

Hair fall

Leave the hair pack on for 20-30 minutes. You can cover your head with a shower cap. After this, you can wash your hair with a mild shampoo and then condition it well. Let it air dry instead of using a blow-dryer. Repeat the process twice a month to pamper your hair and keep them looking gorgeous.
