Besides using hair care products, you also need to steam or steam your hair. Similar to skincare, steaming your hair is a great way to add moisture to your scalp and make your hair longer and healthier. Steaming or steaming hair helps deep clean the scalp, unclog hair follicles, and remove dead skin. Without moisture, hair can become dull, brittle, and prone to breakage and hair loss, so steaming is the best treatment to ensure both your hair and scalp are healthy.
How to steam your hair at home:
You can invest in a hair steamer that can be easily purchased online. Or you can use a heated towel. Note that you should invest in a good hair nourishing oil or if you want completely natural hair, use fresh aloe vera gel from the plant to apply to your hair and scalp. Next, use the hot towel hair steaming technique following the steps below:
Hot towel hair steaming:
– Soak a soft towel in water and gently squeeze out the excess water.
– You can also place the towel in the microwave for 2 minutes or until the towel is warm.
– Wrap the warm towel around your head and cover your head tightly with a shower cap or plastic bag. Make sure there is enough steam for your entire hair and leave it on for 10 minutes.
– Rinse with cool water. Repeat it every 10 days.
Hot oil hair steaming:
Steaming your hair can work wonders for your hair by deeply moisturizing, preventing hair breakage, and making your hair soft, deeply nourished, and moisturized.
– Wet your hair with oil and massage your scalp for 5 minutes to improve scalp circulation.
– You can perform a hot oil hair treatment before steaming your hair to promote healthier and faster hair growth.
Use your fingertips to massage your scalp for about 5 – 10 minutes in circular motions to increase blood circulation, making your hair soft, shiny, and healthy.
The steam lifts the cuticle layer on the hair shaft and allows the oil to penetrate into each strand to nourish and deeply moisturize the hair. Therefore, it is best to apply the hair oil treatment before steaming your hair. Additionally, steaming your hair with a hot towel after applying the oil is beneficial as it helps the hair absorb the oil.
For at-home hair steaming:
– Dip the towel in hot water.
– Wrap the warm wet towel around your hair.
Put on a shower cap and leave it on for 30 minutes.
Steam therapy is beneficial for all hair types, especially dry or damaged hair. You can easily perform deep steaming therapy at home to promote faster hair growth.
