Oil
Massage your scalp using oil. This is the first step to start a hair treatment at home. Massage your head with any hair nourishing oil for 15-20 minutes. You can use olive oil, almond oil, coconut oil or sesame oil. It increases the blood circulation and helps increase hair growth.
Steam
Dip a towel or cotton cloth in warm water and squeeze it to remove excess water. Wrap this towel around your head. It helps oil penetrate deep inside the scalp and nourishes the hair. Keep it for at least 15 to 20 minutes.
Wash
Now wash your hair with a shampoo. Use cold or lukewarm water to wash your hair. Hot water causes dandruff and itchy scalp also weakens the roots.
Condition
you can use a home-made or a market made conditioner. Apply conditioner after shampooing. For homemade conditioner, boil tea leaves in water and add lemon juice to it. Keep this bottled for emergency.
Mask
This last step to lock all required nourishment into your hair. You can buy a hair mask from the market or make it at home. Mix one or two eggs with some coconut oil. Apply it as a hair mask. Cover the hair with a warm towel for minimum 20 minutes and then wash off with a mild shampoo. Honey and yogurt are a good option to be added to your hair mask.
Once you have learned how to do hair spa at home, Do it once every week or in 15 days and see the difference. You will definitely see more glossy hair and reduced hair fall.
