1.Moroccan Spa Repair Treatment: This treatment comes in different formats for different hair types. We’d recommend going in for the repair version of this spa that is ideal for damaged as well as chemically treated hair. It begins with a cleaning and hydrating shampoo session, followed by a hair mask that is accentuated with oil. Following this application, the client is asked to wait it out for at least 30 minutes before it is washed off so as to allow the product to permeate the hair follicles.
