AYURVEDIC treatment for damaged/fragile hair

Price depends on hair length

A cataplasm of plants will be applied. These plants act hugging your hair, making it thicker and stronger.

herbal hair colouring

Price depends on strength of colour, density and hair length

These herbal colours are a mixed of different plant parts with pigmentary properties, like henna and indigo leaves, walnut husks, etc. They also contain other Ayurvedic herbs like amla (Indian gooseberry), that contributes to the general health of your hair and scalp.

In what it differs from a traditional colour per oxidation? (for a longer explanation, head to our blog!)

  • These pigments binds to keratin, but it does not penetrate inside of the hair shaft. 

  • They do not remove the natural pigments of the hair, therefore if your hair is already black, you won't notice any change in colour. In that case, we would need to remove your natural pigmentation first.

  • It is cover your white hairs, but they will look more like highlights.

This way of colouring is perfect for your in any circumstance, but specially if you:

  • suffer of scalp problems (dandruff, itchiness, sensitive skin)

  • suffer from dull, dry, lifeless hair

  • are pregnant

  • have cancer or any kind of condition that benefits from reducing the use of chemicals

  • are following the curly girl method and don't want to put that many chemicals on your hair

  • you want to detoxify your hair from silicones and other chemicals, embracing your natural hair

  • are seeking for a more sustainable and natural way of living :-) and are worried about your health and the health of the planet

A 2-step process is needed when you want to achieve brown, a dark colour, and a lot of coverage.

On the left, you can see an example. The first step was with mostly henna, that colour the white hair orange. The second step was mostly with indigo (middle) that took 2 days to oxidize and get darker (right)

HAIR LOSS AYURVEDIC TREATMENT

Our hair loss Ayurvedic treatment has been formulated by using 7 powerful herbs, used in India since ancient times.

You will also receive a powerful scalp massage, to improve scalp circulation and the delivery of nutrients to your hair follicles (we will teach you how to d it at home as well).

This treatment stops hair fall, balances the scalp, stimulates hair grown, and reinforces and protects the hair.

 

But it does not have any effect on the areas where the hair has already been lost: only works on existing hair. Therefore, we would recommend you starting as soon as you notice any hair loss.

Duration?

  • In order to be effective, it needs to be applied once per week during a minimum of 12 weeks. Miracles don't exist, but consistency does the job!

  • If the hair fall is severe, we will boost the treatment by adding a oil specially indicated for this problem. In this case, we recommend prolonging the treatment 12 weeks more, alternating weeks.

  • Ideally, this treatment should be taken in alternating weeks for 4-7 months, in order to reinforce hair and scalp during all the phases of hair growth (anagen, catagen, telogen).

Are you overwhelmed & don't know where to start?
 
Hi, my name is Alex! I am one of the owners of the salon, and the one who had this crazy idea of making it eco-friendly and sustainable.
 
My background is ecology and I am vegan. I am fascinated by the idea of taking care of our beauty and health with plants. I have applied this ancient knowledge on myself with success, so it would be my pleasure having a consultation with you and offer you guidance, if you want to transition to a more natural haircare. 
We will have a chat about your lifestyle, and start by simple changes in your routine (you will be surprised with what you can achieve by simply washing your hair in another way, without buying expensive products!).

Find me at Gaia Organic Salon n Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
