DIFFERENT TREATMENTS TO KEEP YOUR HAIR HEALTHY
There’s no denying that sometimes your hair can seem a little damaged or dull due to environmental factors such as harmattan, dust, rain, swimming in chlorinated water or it could simply be from the use of harsh chemical products that rip off natural oils from your hair. When all these happen, maintaining healthy hair can be overwhelmingly stressful.
People generally have the impression that it's expensive to revitalize your hair regularly to keep lush & healthy hair. The good news?

Also, note that some of the treatments discussed here are so intense and are best left to professionals to handle at our 10x10 Salon.
Hair Treatments & Benefits

Moisture Treatment
Just like the name implies, this treatment adds moisture to the hair & is the perfect treatment for dry & frizzy hair. If your hair naturally doesn’t retain moisture, you should add it to your hair care regimen & ensure you get an intense moisture treatment at least twice a month. It is also advised to do a moisture treatment at your next appointment after getting a protein treatment as the hair will feel hard after the protein treatment. Some of its benefits are

Several factors such as hereditary, person’s age, weather, stress level, infrequent shampooing, oily scalp & choice of hair products can exacerbate this condition. Simple signs to indicate a person has dandruff is
- Itchy scalp
- Oily scalp with dry flakes
- Scaly/white skin flakes falling from the scalp
