As the capital sweltered in the month of June, we handpicked spa-cation destinations for you to beat the heat. Come July, and we have for us, a whole new set of hair problems. If you love the rains, but you love your tresses more, then these monsoon hair tricks and treatments will ensure that you let your hair down and survive the stormy weather frizz-free.
Hair Braiding
After making a comeback on the red carpet all over the world, hair braids finally seemed to have moved out of the Boho lifestyle. Give yourself a refreshing new braided look without chopping tufts of hair and forget about daily styling for days, or even weeks (if you’re lucky). Celebrity stylist Rod Anker set up his new salon in the city, and we are thrilled about the country’s first braid bar! We love how a quick visit can change the way you hair looks, once you are done choosing from a box braid, a French style, a double strand or any twist you can think of. Keep your wistful hair in a fun style and sail through a busy week without any bad hair days. Schedule an appointment and head here on a Friday or Saturday between 1 pm to 7 pm. This monsoon, keep calm and braid on.
Good for: Unmanageable hair.
Where: Rod Anker Salon, Meherchand Market
Cost: Rs 750 onwards
Keratin Rituals
Looking for a luxurious blowout for an instant makeover? If yes, then Keratin treatments are right up your alley. From Fusio Dose (a 15 minute transformation ritual for your hair fibre) to Keratherapy Ritual (a 75 intense service for very damaged to over-processed hair). These exclusive rituals compensate for the loss of keratin and reconstruct the hair fibres to bring back radiance and silky texture to hair. Walk in for consultation, and the in-house experts will help you choose from a long list of treatments.
Good for: Frizzy hair.
Where: Toni Guy, Multiple Outlets
Cost: Rs 1,200 onwards
Olaplex Treatment
An import straight from the salons in Hollywood, this hair treatment promises to repair your damaged hair and bring it as close to your natural texture as possible. Piqued by the saying, we decided to give it a shot. If you’re also mostly cribbing how your lustrous mane is no more the same and nothing helps, a brief chit chat with Rod Anker makes you realise a lot of things. For example, don’t oil your hair – yeah you read that right. For generations, we have been obsessed with oiling our scalp, hoping to send that frizz away. The experts, on the other hand, say, we should only use light oils that would wash away easily and not add more to our hair woes. Olaplex is a 2-step procedure, depending on whether youhave coloured hair or not. A gel is applied to your hair after a wash, followed by another wash and application and you’re set. The hair instantly goes back to feeling much healthier and smoother. 45 minutes later, you’ll be ready to flick and flaunt that mane again!
Good for: Damaged, chemically treated hair.
Where: Rod Anker Salon, Meherchand Market
Cost: Rs 2,200 plus taxes
Moroccan Oil Hair Spa
A weekly indulgent massage and spa is all what one needs and we tell you where to head for this. The salon at Shangri La offers you the Moroccan Oil spa – an hour and a half long therapy in which a conditioning hair mask is applied on strands and the scalp. This is followed by a gentle head massage which helps in blood circulation and relaxation, and a 15-minute hair steam that helps retaining the moisture that has been lost and helps lock the moisture in.
Good for: Dry and damaged hair.
Where: Shangri La, Ashoka Road
Cost: Rs 2,500 plus taxes
