Step 1: Hot oil massage
Massage your scalp with Mystiq Living’s Maha Bhringraj Hair Oil which is loaded with the goodness of ayurvedic extracts of 9 finest quality herbs- Bhringraj, Sesame, Manjishtha, Lodh, Nagkeshar, Haldi, and other hair-friendly ayurvedic herbs.We recommend using Mahabhringraj hair oil as it is an all-in-one hair oil and adds a complete dose of nourishment to your hair. You can use any other cold pressed oil as well like virgin coconut oil, sweet almond oil, or extra virgin olive oil.
Massage your scalp with fingertips for 10 minutes. Don’t forget the hair ends as they also crave for nourishment.
Step 2: Steam
As we all know that steam helps to open pores, promotes blood circulation and assists in loosening any accumulation of dirt for deeper cleaning. Benefits of streaming are not limited to face only. Steaming your scalp helps easy absorption of the nutrients of the oil into the hair follicles and boosts blood circulation under the scalp which strengthens hair, promotes hair growth and heals damaged hair shafts.
How to steam your hair at home
Option 1: Make a loose bun on the top of your head. Take some hot water in a bucket and squeeze out a clean towel from it. Wrap up the hot towel immediately on your scalp. Wait for 10-15 minutes.
Option 2: Take a steamer and keep it on a low table/ stool. Now sit on a chair in such a way that you have your back towards the steamer. Bend backwards. Cover your head and steamer with a towel so that the steam doesn’t escape easily. Let the steam work on your hair follicles for 8-10 minutes.
Option 3: Take a steamer and keep it on the floor. Lie down on the bed heading outwards. Hang your head a little outside the edge of the bed. Cover your head and steamer with a towel so that the steam doesn’t escape easily. Wait for 8-10 minutes so that the steam can do its magic.
Step 3: Wash your head
Use a mild, sulphate-free shampoo to wash your head and get rid of all the grime resting upon your scalp. Use lukewarm water to wash your hair.
Soak up the excess water with a cotton cloth or microfibre towel.
Step 4: Hair Mask
Another most important step of home spa for hair is applying a hair mask. Pick up the right hair mask for you according to your hair concerns to get the best hair spa at home naturally.
How to apply a hair mask?
Section your hair with your fingers or a broad comb. Apply the mask covering every nook and cranny of your scalp and hair ends. Cover with a shower cap for 30-40 minutes. Rinse well with lukewarm water.
Let your tresses air dry only. Don’t use any dryer or hot appliance for a few hours. It will ruin your efforts.
