Hair treatments go far beyond your regular shampoo and conditioner; they are specialized solutions that restore moisture, repair damage, smooth frizz, strengthen strands, and nourish your scalp.
Whether you have dry, frizzy, thinning, or chemically treated hair, the right treatment can transform your hair health from the inside out.

How to Choose The Right Hair Treatment
Understanding Your Hair Type
Before deciding on a hair treatment, the vital thing is to know your hair type, which is usually categorized by the following factors:
- Hair Texture: Your hair can be curly, straight, coily, or wavy.
- Hair Thickness: You can have thick, fine, or medium hair.
- Hair Porosity: The ability of hair to absorb moisture effectively. If the hair has high porosity, it absorbs moisture quickly, while low porosity slows down the process.
- Scalp Condition: Dry or oily scalps are common, and it’s essential to understand which treatment best suits your scalp condition.

Match Treatments to hair Concerns
Once you understand your hair type and texture, you need to determine what kind of hair treatment you need based on the following:
Dry And Damaged Hair
Your hair needs hydration and nourishment if it is brittle, damaged, or dry.
Several factors can cause dry hair, including overwashing, exposure to harsh weather, and frequent use of heat-styling tools.
To help revive your dry hair, you can do the following hair treatments:
- Deep Conditioning: A moisturizing treatment can nourish your hair and restore moisture. At Haste, we recommend using hydrating masks tailored to your specific needs, featuring ingredients like argan or avocado oil.
- Leave-In Conditioners: A leave-in conditioner can add an extra layer of protection, like moisture, that lasts throughout the day. The conditioner also softens the hair, making it more manageable.
- Protein Treatments: Dry and damaged hair often lacks protein. Protein is essential for hair strength and can help repair damaged hair while reducing breakage.
Frizzy Hair
When it comes to frizzy hair, you are more likely to experience it if you have curly hair, which tends to require more moisture than straight hair. To keep your hair defined and healthy, we recommend the following hair treatments:
- Deep Conditioning: This treatment helps lock in the moisture your hair needs to stay hydrated and healthy. Some great ingredients to look for in products are honey or coconut oil, which help enhance the shine and soften your hair.
- Curl-Enhancing Products: You can choose cream or gels to help define those curls, as they will not make your hair crunchy or stiff.
- Keratin Treatment: If your hair tends to frizz, especially in humid conditions, we can provide a keratin treatment using serums or creams to keep your hair defined and smooth.

Oily Hair or Scalp
If your hair is oily after washing, it typically occurs when your scalp produces excessive sebum, which weighs it down and makes it appear flat.
- Lightweight Conditioner: We recommend using a lightweight conditioner and avoiding heavy products, such as oils and thick creams, for oily hair.
- Clarifying Treatments: Consider investing in a clarifying shampoo to help remove excess oil and product buildup. Still, use them sparingly, as they can strip your scalp of natural oils.
- Scalp Treatment: Treating your scalp is essential for managing oily hair. You can book an appointment with us or invest in a scalp scrub to help balance the oil production.
Colored or Chemically-Treated Hair
If you have colored or highlighted your hair and want to maintain the vibrancy while preventing damage, it helps to have the following color treatments:
- Hydrating Treatment: Coloring your hair can cause it to dry quickly; therefore, deep hydration is essential. We recommend using conditioners and masks filled with argan oil or coconut milk to help restore moisture.
- UV Protection: You can also use a product that provides UV protection to help prevent color fading. We recommend a UV protection leave-in spray.
- Color-Safe Treatment: We recommend using color-safe shampoos and sulfate-free conditioners, as they are gentle on the hair.
Fine or Thinning Hair
Fine and thinning hair often lacks volume and becomes weighed down by heavy products. However, you can add body to your hair while strengthening it.
- Volumizing Treatment: Use a volumizing shampoo, lightweight conditioners, and mousses for fine hair.
- Lightweight Serums: These products also work well for fine hair, as they do not make the hair greasy and add softness.
- Strengthening Treatments: If your hair is prone to breakage, we recommend a treatment that focuses on maintaining its health, such as a keratin treatment.
- Scalp Massage: Regular scalp massages using nourishing oil can increase blood circulation in the scalp and help encourage hair growth. You can use a scalp massage combined with hair masks rich in proteins and vitamins.
Salon vs At-Home Hair Treatments
The primary difference between hair treatments lies in their effectiveness and the method of application. At-home treatment is more affordable, less invasive, and more convenient.
While it provides basic care and maintenance for your hair, it does not offer the same intensity or longer-lasting results as salon treatments.
On the other hand, salon treatments are performed by professionals who use potent products and advanced techniques.
They can deliver a more profound, targeted result for serious hair concerns, but are more time-consuming and expensive. So, even though they are more costly, they are longer-lasting.

Tips For Maintaining Your Hair Treatment
- Invest in sulphate-free hair care products to prevent the stripping of the treatment from the hair.
- Using heat-styling tools can damage hair; it is best to minimize their use and apply a heat protectant product.
- Also, wearing a hat or a UV protection spray is best to protect your hair from UV rays that can damage the treatment.
- You should deep condition your hair at least once a week to nourish and hydrate it.
- Avoid overwashing your hair, as it can strip away the natural oils. Instead, wash your hair twice or thrice a week.
- Lastly, wear regular trims to help prevent split ends and maintain your hair’s health.
