The Astara Treatment: What Is It?
Published November 10, 2016
If you suffer from an irritated or sensitive scalp, this treatment is for you. The Astara treatment is exclusively designed for individuals with delicate scalps and provides a number of great hair and scalp advantages. Developed by the French brand René Furtherer, the Astara treatment cleans and stimulates the hair and skin without causing further irritation to the oversensitive scalp. Here’s a closer look at how the treatment works and what you can expect during an Astara treatment.
Advantages of the Astara Treatment
Unlike other hair treatments, the Astara treatment is designed for individuals with irritated scalps. The treatment helps to alleviate common problems such as dry skin or itching, as well as other hair and scalp issues like clogged pores, flakes, and product buildup.
Astara acts like a facial treatment for your hair and scalp, helping to gently wash away excess oils and debris will providing an overall gentle cleanse. The treatment also stimulates blood flow to the scalp, which promotes healthier roots and more rapid hair growth.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
This treatment takes approximately an hour from start to finish. You begin by relaxing in a chair while the stylist gives you a nice scalp massage for 10 to 20 minutes. Astara oil, a multi-functional nutrient oil, is then applied directly to the scalp. During the massage, product buildup is stripped from the hair and dead skin is removed. The hair is then rinsed, washed, and dried. Oftentimes, a soft scalp brush is used to stimulate hair follicles and loosen dead skin that may be blocking your pores.!
Finally, a moisturizing hair mask is applied to the hair from mid-length to the tips. The stylist will then set you under a hair dryer to help enhance the mask treatment. After 15 to 20 minutes, the mask treatment will be rinsed and your hair will have a second wash and dry.
The Astara treatment offers a gentle way to clean and nourish hair, even for individuals with sensitive or irritated scalps. Ask your local spa or salon about this popular hair and scalp treatment.
