The high levels of pollution in the city, and super dry weather had made my tresses very rough. They were looking weaker and duller than ever. What I needed was a big dose of deep conditioning treatment to strengthen my strands and bring back the shine.

I had recently heard about the special hair care therapies at the newly revamped Lakme Studio. I decided to try one out that will rid me of my tress trouble. The unique thing about this place is that the new range of indulgent hair treatments combines exotic natural extracts with active agents to transform hair into silken, luscious locks. The treatments are based on hair care potions from Schwarzkopf. I found that each treatment is customised as per your hair's special needs. As the smiling receptionist greeted me, if found the soft music and soothing décor of the place very calming.

My treatment started with a scalp and hair test. It was here that my illusions about my hair and scalp were dispelled. What I thought was a dry limp hair issue turned out to be a more complicated oily scalp, dry strand problem. But my hair therapist assured me that it was one of the most common hair issues amongst us Indian girls. Assured, I let him take charge of my strands. He suggested the Blue Lotus Caresse treatment, which is instant re-hydration for dry hair. Blue Lotus extracts and Aquolol bathe hydrate locks with rich, lavish moisture and restore the natural moisture content. The treatment started with a shampoo from Schwarzkopf to re-hydrate my dry tresses. Then the therapist massaged Blue Lotus extracts and Aqualol bathe to my scalp and strands for further deep conditioning. To allow the cuticles to absorb the moisture, steam was applied to my hair. While the steam was doing its work on my strands, a massage specialist gave me a soothing hands and feet reflexology treatment. I was pleasantly surprised. After about half an hour of steaming, my hair and scalp was rinsed. Post blow drying and setting, I simply couldn't stop staring and feeling my silken strands.

Why we recommend: Because of the instant result we felt in our hair. The whole process was utterly soothing, and scalp felt totally nourished. The other plus point is the relaxing reflexology that comes complementary with the service. A holistic way to calm frayed nerves and bad hair.
