What is hair care and what does it involve?
Hair care is the collective name for salon services aimed at improving the structure and moisture level of the hair and the condition of the scalp. Unlike an ordinary cut, a treatment focuses on what happens inside the hair fibre – repairing damaged protein bonds, binding in moisture and smoothing the surface of the hair.
A classic salon visit begins with an analysis of the scalp and hair, followed by a wash with a suitable shampoo and conditioner, the treatment itself, and a cut or styling if needed. The stylist chooses the product according to hair type: a moisturising mask for dry hair, a protein-rich repair treatment for damaged hair, a deep-cleansing exfoliation for an oily scalp.
The advantage of professional treatment over home care lies in the concentrated products and the methods – heat-activated masks, steaming and scalp massage, all of which are hard to reproduce at home. Regular treatment also keeps coloured and processed hair looking good for longer.
What are the most common hair treatments?
The most popular is a deeply moisturising mask or conditioning treatment, which suits almost everyone and which stylists often add on to a cut. Keratin treatments smooth the surface of the hair, reduce frizz and make the hair shiny and easier to comb – the result is especially noticeable on wavy hair and hair that is hard to comb through.
Botox treatments for hair (so-called hair botox) fill in the damaged spots along the hair fibre and give volume to fine hair, while protein treatments strengthen hair that is brittle and breaking. Scalp services such as exfoliation and peeling help against oil, dandruff and product build-up, and create a healthier environment for growth.
Many salons also offer more specific services: a hot-scissors cut to seal the ends, a post-colour pH restoration, and scalp and hair massage for relaxation. The stylist always picks the right treatment according to the particular hair type and concern.
Who is hair care for?
Conditioning treatments are especially useful for anyone whose hair has been damaged by colouring, bleaching, perming or heat styling. Hair like this loses moisture and protein, turns dry and breaks easily – deep conditioning restores its elasticity and shine.
The service also suits people with fine, limp hair who want more fullness, and people with a dry or sensitive scalp troubled by itching or dandruff. In summer, treatments help hair dried out by sun and seawater; in winter they help a scalp dried out by the heating season.
Even healthy hair is worth treating preventively – a regular mask and care of the ends stop the hair splitting and extend the life of a good style. If you are not sure which treatment suits your hair, it is worth booking a consultation first.
How a salon treatment works and how long the result lasts
A simple conditioning mask is usually added on to the wash and takes 10–20 minutes, so it fits inside a single appointment for a cut. A more thorough treatment such as keratin takes 1.5–3 hours depending on the length and thickness of the hair, because the product is applied in layers and set with heat.
The effect of a one-off deep conditioning treatment – softness, shine and combability – is visible straight away and usually lasts a couple of weeks, until the next wash or two. The effect of keratin and smoothing treatments lasts longer, on average 2–4 months, fading gradually with each wash.
The best result comes from treatment as a course: a mask or treatment every 3–4 weeks, and more frequently at first on badly damaged hair. Your stylist will be able to advise how often your particular hair needs treating.
Home aftercare and prices in Estonia
To hold on to the result achieved at the salon, use a shampoo and conditioner suited to your hair type at home, plus a mask once a week. After keratin and smoothing treatments, a sulphate-free shampoo is recommended, along with avoiding chlorinated water, so the effect of the treatment lasts longer. When heat styling, a heat protection spray helps keep the hair from excessive damage.
Prices depend on the service, the length of the hair and the location of the salon. In Estonia a deep conditioning mask alongside a cut usually adds 10–30 € to the bill, while a standalone treatment costs 25–60 €. Keratin and smoothing treatments usually cost 60–150 € depending on hair length, and more on long, thick hair.
Prices in Tallinn and Tartu are as a rule higher than in smaller towns such as Pärnu or Keila. The exact price often only becomes clear once the hair has been assessed in person, so when booking it is worth asking for a price range for your own hair.
Frequently asked questions
How often should hair be treated at a salon?
That depends on the condition of the hair. For healthy hair it is enough to have a treatment every 4–6 weeks along with a cut; badly damaged or coloured hair may need one every 2–3 weeks at first. Your stylist will be able to recommend a suitable frequency after assessing your hair.
What is the difference between hair botox and a keratin treatment?
Keratin treatments smooth the surface of the hair, reduce frizz and leave the hair straighter and shinier. Hair botox, by contrast, fills in the damaged spots along the hair fibre and gives volume to fine hair, without straightening it significantly. Your stylist will make the choice according to what your hair needs.
How long does the effect of a keratin treatment last?
The effect of keratin and smoothing treatments lasts on average 2–4 months, fading gradually with each wash. Using a sulphate-free shampoo and avoiding chlorinated water make it last longer. On longer, thicker hair the result often lasts longer than on fine hair.
Does hair care help with split ends?
Conditioning treatments make split ends temporarily smoother and tidier, but a hair fibre that has already split cannot be permanently glued back together. The lasting result comes from cutting the ends, combined with regular treatment that stops new ends from splitting.
How much does hair care cost in Estonia?
A deep conditioning mask alongside a cut usually adds 10–30 € to the bill, while a standalone treatment costs 25–60 €. Keratin and smoothing treatments mostly cost 60–150 € depending on hair length. Prices in Tallinn and Tartu are generally a little higher than in smaller towns.
Is a conditioning treatment suitable for coloured hair?
Yes — coloured and bleached hair is often exactly the hair that needs treatment most, because the processing dries out and damages the hair fibre. A suitable moisturising or repairing treatment keeps the colour looking alive for longer and the hair soft. Your stylist will pick a product that will not dull the colour.
