The Dos and Don'ts After Your Headspa Treatment: Immediate Aftercare Essentials

Congratulations! You've just emerged from a relaxing and rejuvenating Headspa treatment. Your scalp feels invigorated, your hair is nourished, and you probably feel a renewed sense of calm. But to truly maximise the benefits and ensure long-lasting results, immediate aftercare is key.

Think of it like this: your scalp and hair have just received a luxurious deep-cleanse and conditioning. Now, it's about protecting that fresh canvas and allowing the treatments to fully penetrate and work their magic.

Here are the essential Dos and Don'ts for the immediate period following your Headspa:

The DOS:

• DO Enjoy the Moment: Take a few moments to simply bask in the post-Headspa glow. Your scalp is likely feeling incredibly clean and refreshed, and your hair should feel soft and manageable.

  
  

• DO Gently Style Your Hair: If you need to style your hair, opt for gentle methods. Air-drying is often recommended to avoid excessive heat immediately after treatment. If you must use heat, use a low setting and a heat protectant.

  
  

• DO Hydrate: Drink plenty of water. Hydration from within is crucial for overall health, including the health of your scalp and hair.

  
  

• DO Protect Your Hair from Harsh Elements: If you're heading outdoors, consider protecting your hair from direct sun, strong winds, or extreme cold. A hat or scarf can be your best friend.

  
  

• DO Follow Specific Advice from Your Headspa Specialist: Your Specialist knows your hair and scalp best. If they provided any particular instructions for your specific treatment (e.g., leaving a product in for a certain duration), make sure to follow them diligently.

The DON'TS:

• DON'T Wash Your Hair Immediately: This is perhaps the most crucial "don't." Most Headspa treatments involve products designed to work on your scalp and hair for a period after the service. Washing your hair too soon (typically within 24-48 hours, but check with your Specialist) can rinse away these beneficial ingredients and diminish the effects of the treatment.

  
  

• DON'T Apply Heavy Styling Products: Avoid using heavy gels, mousses, or hairsprays right after your treatment. These can weigh down your freshly treated hair and potentially clog your newly cleansed scalp. Opt for lightweight products if absolutely necessary.

  
  

• DON'T Tie Your Hair Too Tightly: Avoid tight ponytails, buns, or braids that can pull on your hair and scalp. Give your scalp room to breathe and relax.

  
  

• DON'T Subject Your Hair to Excessive Heat: While we mentioned gentle styling, it's worth reiterating: excessive heat from styling tools like straighteners, curling irons, or high-heat blow dryers can undo some of the nourishing benefits of the Headspa.

  
  

• DON'T Over-Touch Your Hair or Scalp: Resist the urge to constantly touch, scratch, or play with your hair and scalp. Your hands can transfer oils and dirt, potentially irritating your fresh scalp. If you must scratch that itch, use the EHPlus Aroma Stick Ampoule roller. Besides the aroma therapy, it relieves the itch while adding hydration and nutrients to the scalp.

  

  
  

• DON'T Expose Your Hair to Chlorine or Salt Water: If you're planning a swim, it's best to wait a day or two after your Headspa before exposing your hair to chlorinated pools or salty ocean water, as these can strip away moisture and negate the treatment's benefits.

  
  

By following these simple Dos and Don'ts, you'll ensure that you get the most out of your Headspa experience, leaving your scalp feeling balanced and your hair looking its absolute best for longer.

Enjoy your refreshed self!
