Our hair is one of our strongest forms of expression. We can change it from bright bold colours to natural tones and whilst these changes aren’t forever, they can have a lasting effect to our hair. Some of us have virgin hair and prefer to express ourselves by changing the length of our hair. To maintain healthy hair, hair treatments are a must! They will aid healthy growth and the overturning of new healthy cells.
As our hair rests on our head UV rays, pollution and general external pollutants make their way through our hair cuticles. Hair and scalp treatments will help rejuvenate your hair and maintain the integrity of healthy hair. Sometimes, depending on the external damage you will need treatments to rebuild the structure of the hair.
At Bare Beauty House we use all natural butter based bleach and we aim to lift your hair without damage, however damage may still occur from the sun, pollution or the incorrect shampoo and conditioner.
Getting a treatment in salon is a quick process that does not need a full day reserved. We first start with a consult about your hair and scalp to determine what treatment is best suitable for your hair type and the result you are wanting to achieve. After we determine the path it is a quick 20-30 minute which includes a head massage ;).
A in salon treatment is a nice way to relax and treat yourself but it is also a necessity. At home treatments are another great way to maintain your hair between in salon treatments and getting your hair colour or cut. Masks are a great product to bring into your shower or bath routine. Simply leave it on the ends of your hair as you scrub and shave then give it a rinse. There are many other products that can be easily applied before you go through your day. A leave in moisture cream, nurturing oils and a scalp balm are all great simple ways that you can nurture your hair.
As our world came into the industrial revolution more and more pollution spread through the air and our hair. In the modern age we are trying to find a more sustainable way to supply energy but there will always be pollutants in the air. These pollutants can strip the hair of good nutrients and alter our hairs normal pH balance. Pollution targets the proteins we have in our hair and decreases the amount we hold. Hair proteins are responsible for hair growth, shine, strength and much more. Coloured and bleached hair can be more vulnerable to these damages as the cuticle (which is our barrier) is already affected. Protein treatments such as Olaplex and Oways Hmilk are a great way to rebuild the hair and add the proteins that have been lost.
We all hear about protecting our skin from UV rays but what happens to our hair after prolonged exposure? The UV rays damage our hairs cuticle and creates brittle hair. Living in Many or near a beach I’m sure our surfers can relate to this issue. We often see discolouration or “sun bleached hair” which may look beautiful but to the touch may tell a different story. The hair can become thin, have breakage or split ends and become dull. This is when masks can come in handy for all the surfers or regular swimmers out there. A mask or leave in moisture can be applied to the hair before hitting the waves. This will protect the hair while also nurturing it.
Whether you have never coloured your hair, dont put it under a lot of stress from hot styling tools or whether you are addicted to having your hair coloured and styled, its safe to say we can all benefit from a hair and scalp treatment to promote and maintain healthy hair.
