Hair spa at home


Hi beauties, today the post is for hair care. I'm a person who need everything in home itself, bored of roaming in the hot. I wanted to treat my hair as similar to the spa and discussed with my friends regarding that and came up with few ideas similar to spa treatment. I'm posting the methods which we tried.

Deep oil massage is the first step in treating your hair.

How to proceed with hair massage?
First heat required amount of coconut oil with hibiscus and jasmine flowers.
Allow it to cool and remove the sediments.
Then with the oil start massaging your scalp with the tips of your fingers for at least 15 min.

Next is conditioning your hair.
For this you can use either egg whites or fenugreek paste. Apply any of the natural conditioner and leave it to set in the scalp.

After applying any of the natural conditioner wrap your hair with hot steamed towel which will allow the conditioner to set in the roots of the hair.

Leave it undisturbed for another 15 min and have deep cleaning hair wash with your shampoo.

Don't use any electronic stuffs for drying your hair, instead dry your hair in sunlight by separating hairs using hands.

Always wash your hair with good purified water.

Thats it guys you are done with home hair spa. I'm sure you are gonna try this and come with good results. See you all in next post.
