Not only makes you more relaxed, there are many benefits of cream bath for health. Creambath is one type of hair care that is quite common. Not only in the salon, you can also try to do creambath at home.
Creambath is a hair and scalp treatment to moisturize dry hair, soften and nourish hair, and prevent hair from damage. However, did you know that the term creambath is actually only commonly used in Indonesia? Abroad, this treatment is better known as a hair mask .
How is Creambath Done?
Basically, cream bath is not much different from a hair mask or hair spa . Creambath is done by applying a cream that is rich in moisturizers and nutrients to the hair. The hair and scalp are then massaged so that the cream is absorbed faster.
After that, cover the head with a steamer or hot towel and let stand for at least 15 minutes. Next, rinse the hair using shampoo until clean.
In addition to using salon creams or special cream bath creams that are widely sold in the market, you can also do this treatment using natural ingredients. Some examples of such materials are bananas, honey, eggs, aloe vera, coconut oil , olive oil , or essential oils.
What are the Benefits of Creambath?
The benefits of cream baths depend on the content contained in the cream used. Some of the benefits of the cream bath include:
1. Softens hair
Tangled and unruly hair can make you have a bad hair day . Especially if you've tried various ways to organize and tidy it up, but still to no avail.
Well , one of the benefits of cream bath that you can immediately feel is softening the hair . To get these benefits, choose a cream that contains silica.
If you want to use natural ingredients, you can use bananas. Bananas also contain silica and minerals that can soften and make hair shinier.
2. Strengthens hair strands
Creambath is also useful for treating hair shafts and roots, so they don't fall out easily. Some examples of natural ingredients to strengthen hair that can be used during a cream bath are eggs and aloe vera .
The nutritional content, such as vitamin A, vitamin E, biotin, protein, and folate, in these two natural ingredients can stimulate hair growth and maintain hair strength. In addition, you can also mix eggs or aloe vera with honey to make your hair shinier.
3. Overcoming dry hair
Dry hair tends to tangle and become brittle. Creams used for cream baths generally contain oils that can make hair more moist. This treatment is more effective for dealing with dry hair than using conditioner.
4. Gives a relaxing effect
In addition to aiming for the cream to be absorbed more easily, massage by the therapist is also useful for relaxing the muscles around the head, neck, and shoulders. A fresh scalp plus a more relaxed body can make your mood better.
Not only that, massage on the scalp can also improve blood flow in the follicles or hair roots, so that hair can be stronger and healthier.
5. Repair damaged hair
Poor hair styling, such as frequent straightening, curling, coloring, or straightening your hair, can make your hair more prone to breakage. In addition, sun exposure, air pollution, and changes in weather can also cause hair and scalp problems.
Therefore, to repair damaged hair, it is recommended that you do a cream bath regularly.
