commonly asked questions about salon treatments

how often should you get a hair treatment at a salon?

depends on what you’re dealing with. if your strands are thirsty, fried, or constantly complaining, aim for a salon treatment every 4-6 weeks. if you're blessed with good hair genes and minimal chaos, each visit should do the trick. and, if you’re still not quite sure on which way to go, we recommend asking your hairdresser for advice.

how often should you use at-home hair treatment products?

weekly is the sweet spot for most at-home treatments. think of it as a sunday self-care ritual – your hair will thank you for the extra love. but if you have serious damage or a sad scalp, you might need to step it up to twice a week.

how long after a salon treatment should you start using at-home treatments?

give it a week or so before diving into your at-home stash. you don’t want to overdo it and undo all that professional magic. when in doubt, follow your stylist's advice – they know their stuff.

are salon hair treatments worth it?

100%. sure, you could do it yourself, but salon treatments come with expert hands, professional products, and a bouncy blowout. plus, the results are instant.

how long do salon hair treatments work for?

results can last up to a couple of months, depending on the treatment and how well you treat your hair afterwards. pro tip: use recommended aftercare products to stretch those benefits as long as possible.

can you use multiple at-home hair treatments at the same time?

sure, but be smart about it. don’t mix a protein treatment with a hydrating mask in the same session. alternate them throughout the week to give your hair everything it needs without overloading your strands.

can i leave my hair treatment in overnight?

depends on the treatment. if it’s a hydrating mask, go for it – just chuck something over your hair to avoid a messy pillow. but protein treatments or toners? nope. too much of a good thing can leave your hair feeling worse, so always check the label.

the takeaway

salon treatments are the ultimate fix for tired, lackluster locks. but remember: your glow-up doesn’t end at the salon door. keeping up the good work at home with targeted products will make sure your hair stays healthy, happy, and super glossy.
