Hair Spa Not Only Nourishes Your Hair But Also Relaxes You


Hair spa not only nourishes your hair but also relaxes you. Getting it done from a hair salon may cost you beyond your monthly budget for personal grooming. Still, it is not fair to skip such an important aspect of your beauty enhancement and mental unwinding. Now, you might be wondering how to make hair spa at home. You can do hair spa as well as save your hard-earned money. This is possible if you do it at home with some quality hair care products and materials easily available at home.
  
Get Organized For Your Home Spa Day. Pull together some of the things that say "spa" -- your robe and slippers, spa CDs, candles,clean sheets and towels, exercise clothing, your favorite exercise DVDs, a body scrub, your facial products, and things to get yourself a manicure and pedicure. This will help inspire you as you plan your home spa day.
  
 Hair Spa
Plan Healthy Meals. Create your home spa menus around healthy food that will help you eat for energy -- an egg-white omelette with vegetables for breakfast, stir-fired chicken breast and vegetables for lunch, lentil soup and salad for dinner. You can cook ahead or make that part of the fun or your home spa day, especially if you're with a friend.
  
Get Some Exercise During Your Home Spa Day. You can take a walk around your neighborhood, bike ride, go to the local gym, take a yoga class, watch an exercise DVD -- whatever works for you and where you live. You can get up early, eat a piece of fruit and some almonds before you go for a walk, then do something else later in the day. How much and what kind of exercise you want to do depends on your current fitness level.
  
Give Yourself A Spa Treatment During Your Home Spa Day.One of the easiest home spa treatments is a body scrub and hot bath. This would be a good thing to do in the afternoon. Take time to rest afterwards. You can also give yourself a home facial, or do your nails.
  
Shampooing
  
The step in this hair spa procedure is shampooing. It is better if the first step is done at night and the oil is left as it is overnight. Though in case you don't want to keep the oiled hair overnight just shampoo them well with a mild natural shampoo after 2-3 hours. Try not to rub the scalp with shampoo and make sure you use luke warm water to wash the hair. The hair needs to be rinsed well with lots of water.
  
Conditioning
  
Next condition the hair with a suitable conditioner. It would be better to use a herbal hair conditioner than a chemical laden one. Rinse the conditioner well till the excess of slipperiness is gone. To make sure that every hair strand is conditioned, make small sections of hair to apply conditioner.
  
Applying Hair Mask
  
Now you would need to apply hair mask for nourishing the hair. There are numerous herbal hair masks available in market these days. Though, you can make hair masks at home too. Check out some of the hair masks here:
  
Egg and Oil Hair Mask
  
Make a well beaten mixture of 2 eggs and 6 spoonfuls of coconut oil. Whisk it thoroughly to get a smooth mixture. Apply this mixture on scalp with the help of fingers. The heat produced by the friction of fingers while massaging would help the oil penetrate deep into the scalp thus, nourishing the hair. Cover the hair after applying it evenly all over the head rinse it off with a herbal shampoo after 20 minutes.
  
Banana and Milk Hair Mask
  
Mix one mashed banana with one beaten egg, 2 tablespoons of honey, 3 tablespoons of milk and 5 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix all together thoroughly to get a smooth mixture. Apply it evenly all over the head and wash it thoroughly with a herbal shampoo after half an hour. What you'll get is a shiny and healthy mane!
