The perfect bridal style is not just about the outfit and makeup, your hair equally plays a big role in completing the look. If you've been feeling like your locks have been a bit lackluster lately or not as silky smooth as usual, perhaps it's time to explore some salon treatments. From hot oil treatments to hair detox, there are a bevy of procedures designed to restore shine and strength to your hair. Here, we guide you through the 5 most popular treatments, but, like any beauty treatments, make sure you're well-informed prior and be sure to plan your salon visit well in advance of the big day!
Keratin Treatment
Sometimes it’s so hard to tame unruly hair, right? Enter: keratin treatment. Keratin is a natural protein in hair which gives it that shiny, healthy look. Sadly, overstyling and exposure to elements may damage keratin. The treatment, however, is designed to restore lost keratin, bring back smoothness to your hair and make it easier to manage. During the treatment, which typically takes two to three hours, your stylist will coat your hair with a special keratin-based mixture, and then flat-iron them to seal and activate the formula. To maintain the results longer, make sure to follow the recommended after-care instructions diligently.
Botox Treatment
Yes, you read that right — Botox for your hair! But here's the difference: unlike a cosmetic procedure, it's absolutely needle-free…and, despite its catchy name, doesn’t involve Botox at all. The term is used because the procedure aims to give your hair a smoother look, much like cosmetic Botox does for the skin. In reality, hair Botox refers to conditioning treatment that non-invasively “injects” your hair with antioxidants, hydrating oils, and all the nourishing ingredients that are supposed to repair tired locks.
Hot Oil Treatment
Another popular treatment is hot oil treatment, which promises a boost of shine to your hair in no time. Here's how it works: your stylist will apply nutrient-rich oil - think coconut, argan, castor or jojoba - to your hair and scalp, leaving it for at least 20 minutes. While you wait, the nourishing ingredients of the oil do their job! They will penetrate deeply and restore vitality from root to tip. When the time is over, your stylist will rinse the oil out. A great solution for owners of damaged, dry or colored hair who want to bring life to their locks!
Hair Detox
Sure, you know that not only the environment but also the product buildup can take a toll on your hair. So, that's where hair detox might do the trick! This is a deep-cleansing treatment that removes dirt and other impurities, making your hair and scalp feel fresh and clean. If you use many styling products, a detox treatment is definitely for you.
Scalp Treatment
Healthy roots means healthy hair! This is why it's so important to take care of your scalp, which is, unfortunately, often overlooked. Without proper scalp care, you might end up with itchiness, flakiness, and dryness – and, honestly, that's no fun at all. If you feel your scalp is desperately asking for some extra attention, you might want to try an in-salon scalp treatment. They come in a variety of forms, like scrubs, masks, oils and foams. Through exfoliation and massage, scalp treatment stimulates blood flow, banishes dandruff, and even promotes hair growth.
