Hair Treatments

Whenever we do any form of chemical service to our hair or we apply excessive heat to it or we are out in the sun a lot or just all the above then we need to make sure that we put some moisture in order to bring your hair back to a healthy shiny state.

There are three types of treatments that your hairdresser will basically recommend for your hair depending on its condition 1. Moisture treatment 2. protein treatment 3. A combination of both moisture and protein.

When do you need a Moisture treatment?

If you colour your hair then a good deep penetrating treatment once a week is essential in order to maintain the colour and keep your hair healthy. Damaged hair will fade faster than healthy hair. When we colour our hair it can become very dry and lose its moisture quickly so by applying a good moisture treatment once a week will protect your hair from further damage. it is always a great idea to ask your hairdresser to apply the treatment for you however if you are treating yourself at home then its best to follow some basic rules. After you have washed your hair with your appropriate shampoo then towel dry, apply a small walnut size of moisture treatment. Start from the ends to your mid lengths, (the reason for applying to these areas is because most people apply to the scalp area first which already has enough natural oils and is usually in better condition). Now massage through to your scalp, pin the hair up and wrap in glad wrap. The reason for this is the scalp produces warmth and helps treatment to be absorbed by the hair. wait 15 to 20 minutes and then rinse. Make sure that you use conditioner following any treatment service as this will close the cuticle locking the treatment in the hair.

When do you need a Protein treatment?

If you have had chemical services applied to your hair and the end result leaves your hair lacking in strength then you would be best to apply a protein treatment.To get the best benefit from a protein treatment it is a good idea to follow this treatment plan; by applying a good protein treatment once a week for the first month and then once a fortnight for the second month and then lastly once in the last month. The reason we stop after the 3rd month is because too much protein can cause brittleness in the hair. So this is why we now look to apply a moisture treatment. After you have washed your hair with your appropriate shampoo then towel dry, apply a small walnut size of protein treatment. Start from the ends to your mid lengths, (the reason for applying to these areas is because most people apply to the scalp area first which already has enough natural oils and is usually in better condition). Now massage through to your scalp, pin the hair up and wrap in glad wrap. The reason for this is the scalp produces warmth and helps treatment to be absorbed by the hair. Wait 15 to 20 minutes and then rinse. Make sure that you use conditioner following any treatment service as this will close the cuticle locking the treatment in the hair.

When do we apply a combination of protein and Moisture

If you have a chemical service done on a regular basis and your hair is in good condition then it is a good idea to apply a moisture and protein combination treatment just as a pick me up for your hair once a month. After you have washed your hair with your appropriate shampoo then towel dry, apply 2 parts moisture to 1 part protein walnut size treatment. Start from the ends to your mid lengths, (the reason for applying to these areas is because most people apply to the scalp area first which already has enough natural and is usually in better condition). Now massage through to your scalp, pin the hair up and wrap in glad wrap. Leave it in the hair for 15 to 20 minutes and then rinse. Make sure that you use conditioner following any treatment service as this will close the cuticle locking the treatment in the hair.
