Does Hair Spa Include Oiling?

Typically hair spas feature oiling as one of the components, especially in the part of the scalp massage during which essential or nourishing oils improve circulation and penetration. Although there are spas which do not require pre-oiling, in most cases targeted oils are used to provide the best nourishment to the hair.

Oiling in a salon hair spa

A typical salon stage may be the examination of the scalp followed by the essential oil massage with the purpose of blood circulation stimulation and follicle preparation. The process of the argan, jojoba, or coconut application on the scalp is done in the circular movements for the period of 10-15 minutes before the hair is washed. This operation not only prepares the hair for the following masks but also makes the hair more hydrated from within.

 

Procedure of hair spa using oil

 

  • Firmly-ankled hair and oily scalp will not appreciate a heavy method, so use ultralight serums that will not add more oils while massaging.
  • The females with dry hair or long dry developmental history should be the first beneficiaries using hair spa with an addition of argan oil, one of the most common and renowned oils for both hair and skin made from sweet almond for anti-frizz and strengthening purposes.
  • Use a treatment containing biotin alongside an oil base for hair growth to accelerate the achievement of your goal.

Advantages of hair oiling at salons

 

Oils coupled with warmth open hair cuticles setting thus masks to supply deeper their proteins and vitamins for hairs' shine and hardening. When combined with steam, the breakage rate lessens by 30%, flyaways are tamed, and the follicles get healthier. After washing the hair dries softer and without oil residues.

 

Differences Across Spas

Normal L'Oreal or Matrix spa treatments focus on oil massage as the initial step of the treatment before the application of the mask. Ayurvedic treatments rely solely on the usage of the herbal mixtures such as amla or bhringraj. Quick 45-minute sessions might be restricted to a few drops of serum, whereas a luxurious 90-minute session will feature a prolonged oil treatment.

Best Practices

Don't do a heavy oiling at home immediately before coming to a salon spa—clean hair is the best canvas for the products to work their magic. Oil types are chosen by a professional according to your personal analysis. A monthly oil-enriched spa is enough to keep your hair happy all year.
