1.    Deep Conditioning Treatment:

Deep conditioning is a must for coily and kinky hair, as it helps restore moisture and nourishment. A salon deep conditioning treatment involves applying a rich, hydrating conditioner to the hair, often with the use of heat or steam to enhance penetration. This treatment helps to soften the hair, reduce frizz, and promote overall hair health.

2.    Protein Treatment:

Protein treatments are essential for strengthening coily and kinky hair, which can be prone to breakage. These treatments infuse the hair with proteins that help repair and fortify the hair shaft. Protein treatments should be used judiciously, as excessive use can lead to hair stiffness. A skilled stylist can determine the appropriate frequency based on the hair's condition.

3.    Scalp Detox Treatment:

A scalp detox treatment can help to remove product build-up, excess oil, and impurities from the scalp, promoting a healthy environment for hair growth. The stylist will use clarifying and exfoliating products to cleanse the scalp thoroughly. This treatment can help alleviate scalp issues like dandruff and itchiness.

4.    Hot Oil Treatment:

Hot oil treatments are excellent for coily and kinky hair, as they provide deep hydration and nourishment. The stylist will apply warm oil, such as coconut, olive, or argan oil, to the hair and scalp, massaging it in to promote blood circulation. The hair is then covered with a shower cap or towel to allow the oil to penetrate deeply. This treatment leaves the hair feeling soft, moisturised, and rejuvenated.

5.    Olaplex Treatment:

Olaplex is a popular salon treatment that works to repair and rebuild the disulfide bonds in the hair, which can be damaged by chemical treatments and heat styling. For curly hair that has been bleached or colour-treated, an Olaplex treatment can help restore its strength, prevent further damage, and enhance the hair’s natural curl pattern.

6.    Steam Hydration Treatment:

A steam hydration treatment is an excellent way to infuse moisture into coily and kinky hair. The hair is steamed under a hooded dryer or using a handheld steamer to open the cuticles, allowing deep penetration of moisture. This treatment helps to soften the hair, enhance curl definition, and reduce dryness. 

7.    Head massage

Incorporating head massages into your hair care routine can provide multiple benefits for your hair and scalp. This involves gently massaging the scalp using fingers or specialized tools. Head massage will increase your blood circulation, nourishing hair follicles with oxygen and essential nutrients; reduce stress and hair breakage, enhance product absorption and hair growth.

8.    Silk Press:

For those with naturally curly hair who want a sleeker look, a silk press can be a suitable salon treatment. This involves using heat styling tools and protective products to straighten the hair without permanently altering its texture. A silk press can give you the option to switch between straight and curly styles.

9.    Trimming and Shape-Up:

Regular trims are crucial for maintaining the health of coily and kinky hair. A skilled stylist can provide a shape-up to maintain the hair's shape and remove split ends, promoting overall hair health.
