After months of DIYing hair masks, trimming your own split ends and trying your best to maintain the health of your hair, there is finally some hope for respite! Now that salons are opening up again, you can undo all the damage that was done in the months that were spent holed up indoors.
Here are five salon treatments you should opt for to get rid of quarantine hair and give your tresses a new lease of life.
- 01. Scalp facial to boost hair growth
- 02. Moisture treatment for dry hair
- 03. Detox treatment for product buildup
- 04. Relax treatment for tired curls
- 05. Keratin treatment
01. Scalp facial to boost hair growth
A hair treatment that finds its roots in Japanese hair trends, scalp facials are the new ‘skincare’ for hair! With drawn-out steps of washing/conditioning, scalp scrubs and serum massages, the scalp treatment will help you get rid of flaky and itchy scalp. It also gently exfoliates your scalp to boost hair growth.
02. Moisture treatment for dry hair
A moisture treatment at the salon is the updated version of the deep conditioning sessions you have been indulging in at home. The protein-based treatments help bring back shine in dull and lifeless hair. It also helps add shine and life back to dull and lifeless hair. Plus, it also helps with the split ends.
03. Detox treatment for product buildup
Let's be real, no matter how careful you are, your hair care habits can lead to product buildup over time, especially in the absence of regular salon treatments. Which is why a hair detox session at a salon — which includes clarifying the hair shaft— can make your scalp feel lighter and boost healthy hair growth. These treatments also help get rid of impurities and add oodles of volume to your tresses.
04. Relax treatment for tired curls
If your curls have lost their bounce and shine during the quarantine, a relaxation treatment can help revive them. Relax treatments are good for dealing with frizz and can be customised to tame your curl and control movement. The best part is that the treatment lasts for months so you don't have to go back in too often for up-keep.
05. Keratin treatment
Keratin hair treatment is a simple salon procedure to replenish the protein in your hair. Also referred to as 'hair smoothening', the treatment makes your hair smoother and sleeker, depending on the existing health of your hair and how well the post-treatment care has been followed.
