Dove Elixir provides every woman the enriched experience of hair oiling - the age old practice in a modernized and convenient format. They are available in three variants:
Rose and Almond oil for hair fall control
Lavender and Olive oil for dryness care
Argan oil and Hibiscus for Nourished Shine

My Hair Spa at home experience- I liked the Argan oil one and it does makes my hair really smooth and silky even if I do not keep it over night just about half an hour before shampoo is enough to give you the results. The other products in the hamper like scented candle, dried flower leaves just enhanced the experience and made it spa like. Along with that I loved the organic handmade soap that makes my skin smooth keeping in mind the weather.

  3. 1. Whenever I manage to get some free time even for just 30 minutes or so, I have learnt to make the best of it. Just leave everything aside - no the world wont end, if everything is not in its place for a few minutes. Everything can wait. Then draw the curtains.Light some fragrant candles around the house. Put on some meditation videos or calm soothing music, calms the mind down a lot. Also soaking my feet in a tub filled with warm water added with fragrant bath salts, a relaxing good hair oil massage Dove Elixir Argan oil and Hibiscus for Nourished Shine, then followed by a nice warm shower with Dove Bodywash. Step out and gently applying Dove Nourishment Body Lotion all over - Helps my mind, body and soul relax and take on the world !!

  5. MY HOME HAIR SPA IDEA:
    I REALLY want a proper environment and time FOR MY SPA. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO FEEL RELAXED..
    1. I lit 2-3 candles in my room and dim lights then I spray my favourite room freshner.
    2. Relax myself and start oiling my hairs with gentle circular movements. I prefer a mix of olive and almond oil in winters. And trust me the results are always magical.
    3.I steam my hair with a steamer or wrap a hot towel for about 15 mins.
    4. Then i wait for 2 hours to let hairs absorb the oil. In the mean time I do manicure and pedicure.
    4. After 2 hours I wash my hairs with beer shampoo and warm water. Conditioning, a most important step after it.
    5. Then I apply hair mask.
    Hair mask- 1 banana, 2 spoons of yogurt and honey each.
    I apply it for 1 hour and again cover my hairs with a shower cap .

    Wash off and the results are magical...
    I am really addicted to it and love my beautiful hairs.

  6. Create Spa Look at Home :

    Light candles, use your favorite lighting, turn on your favorite
    music, run your bath and get your beverage.
    Towels – Big, fluffy ones are perfect. To feel extra special on spa
    days, save these just for your spa time.
    Scrubs, bath salts, lotions, pedicure cream, favorite scent

    The entire feel of a nice spa is enough to give the sense of beautiful
    pleasure & joy to get pampered

    Hair spa is usually made up of massage oil, hair mask application,
    shampooing and deep conditioning.The four essentials are: Oil massage,
    shampoo, mask and conditioner.

    * Massage your scalp with olive oil.

    * Dip a towel in warm water and squeeze the excess water out.
    Wrap the towel around the hair.

    * Wash your hair. Now, wash the hair with a mild shampoo.
    Use only cold water as hot water is harmful to the hair roots.

    * Use a conditioner. Rinse it off after half an hour with just
    warm water and no shampoo.

    Lastly, a hair mask:)

    Hair Olive Oil Deep Hair Conditioning Mask:

    Beat two eggs (three for long hair) and add in three tablespoons of
    olive oil. Add your favorite essential oils for fragrance (optional.)
    Apply a liberal amount to hair from root to tip. Wrap hair in warm
    towel and rest for about 30 minutes. After you rinse, you will notice
    how soft, shiny and manageable your hair will be.

  12. I love getting a SPA but not always I get time to go and then to relax my body and mind, I go for DIY SPA at home!
    Firstly, I gather my needed things for the treatment- cleanser, body scrub, chocolate pack, shower cream, jasmine body oil and lastly, body butter.

    To set the atmosphere, I play soothing mind relaxing music on my tab. Then I start off with cleansing my body with a mild cleanser and with a loofah I rub of any dirt.
    After washing with lukewarm water, I start to scrub. I give my 20 minutes in scrubbing because, it is very essential for getting rid off the dead cells and making my soft and smooth.
    Then again I wash it off and apply the chocolate pack all over my body. The aroma of chocolate bring life to my senses.
    I close my eyes and relax for at least 30 minutes if not fallen asleep!
    With lukewarm water I wash off the pack and apply the jasmine body oil. Again Jasmine is my favorite scent of all and then I start massaging my body from legs to hands and shoulder and everywhere else I could reach for!
    Finally I take shower with a SPA shower cream and dry off with a hot towel to relax my muscles.
    Then I apply my favorite body butter to nourish and hydrate my skin and voila, I feel pampered!

    For hair spa:
    As I need a real time relaxing during my body spa, I do hair spa separately. I apply deep conditioning hair oil and massage it very lightly for 20-25 minutes until it is absorbed totally into my scalp. Then, I enjoy a turban therapy (i.e. making a turban of hot towel on my hair) for 30 minutes. Then, I wash off my hair with natural mild shampoo and apply an concentrated hair serum to protect and nourish my hair.

    This is how I do SPA at home!

  13. Hi

    Thanks for the lovely giveaway!

    When we say spa, we visualize candles, sweet fragrance in air, rose petals in bath tub, sweet music, and aura which is great as it gives us a WOW feeling and yet at I can't create a spa in my home but I try to make it more relaxable and relish the peace or the calming effect it provides me...I pamper my hair a lot and wish to have long hair so I take care of them very regularly. I usually follow a hair care regime to pamper them, first, in night I apply oil in my hair and massage the scalp so that oil should reach the scalp and roots of my hair and nourish them, after oiling my hair, I tie scarf and sleep well, in morning I apply a shampoo and conditioner and wash my hair with water and then I apply a mixture in my hair, in a bowl I take around half cup of curd and in it I add a little mustard oil and whisk in well and after washing my hair with shampoo I apply this mixture in my hair and massage it properly and then gently wash it off with water and tie around a towel in wet hair and comb them properly and taaddddaaaa hair spa is done…

    Also, occasionally I also put beaten eggs or shikakai and amla, for shikakai and amla I soak these in water overnight and then in morning after washing hair with shampoo and conditioner, I put the shikakai and amla soaked water in my hair and rinse it thoroughly, I use shikkakai in summer to give coolness to scalp but it can be used in winters too like at once a week...Believe me, after using shikakai and amla hair gets soft, smoother and shikakai has a cooling effect on scalp and I feel that I am pampering my hair just like they get pampered in a hair spa :)

    Tips to do spa at home...
    hiiiiiiii…….
    Since we all know,that the 3 steps for good hair spa is Oiling,Conditioning and last but not the least is Mask…
    #For oiling, i personally use a mixture of olive oil, almond oil , coconut oil, and ghee. Warm these oils. When I heated the mixture and made it warm enough to touch without burning. I took it with my fingers and distributed evenly into my hair strands concentrating on the scalp and massaging it well with the help of my mother and leave it for around 1.5 hrs..
    #Next washing my hair with a mild shampoo and let the hair dry naturally without blower etc..
    #For Conditioning,i use the tea decoction as well as little mehndi and mix it well.Allow some time for rest to the mixture.Then apply it on my hair as the mixture will intensify the colour of my hair and at the same time will condition it. Then after half an hour rinse it only with luke warm water (no shampoo).
    #The next and final procedure is the mask for hair..For it ,i use a ripe banana, 1/4 cup of milk, 3 table-spoons of honey and egg white from 2 eggs.and make a puree of them in a blender. Applied the mask all over my hair and covered it with a shower cap, waited for half an hour and rinsed it and then finally washed the hair with shampoo to get the oil out…
    Finally the hair spa is done at home with all natural ingredients which will nourish my hair and with no side effects…
    Hope u like it and may i won this beautiful hamper of Dove Elixir and next time enjoy my hair spa with it..
    will be waiting to win it…

  17. I apply Dove Elixir oil to my hair and I nicely massage my head, such that the oil reaches the roots of my hair. The next day morning, I apply the white yolk of egg to my hair. I leave it for about half-an-hour. After that, I take a refreshing head bath using Dove shampoo. This is how I do a hair-spa at home!

  19. The first step is to oil and massage hair and scalp with almond oil and rosemary oil. It nourishes hair, controls hairfall and adds shine and bounce to the hair. Next step is to lightly steam your hair using a hot towel. Wrap the hair in the hot towel for 10-15 minutes. Next, I apply curd as a hair pack. I leave it on for 15 minutes and rinse it out with water before I shampoo. Finally, I shampoo and condition my hair and towel dry it. I let it air dry and the end result is healthy looking shiny hair.

    My wonderful day when I do My Home Spa ..
    Being with a toddler baby, N looking after my whole family, is a hectic job.. So whenever I get time (or atleast once in a month) I make a day (usually only just some time :P) for my self to spend with myself n pamper myslef..
    I start the my pampering with , First I Take fresh cream n put 1 string of kesar in it.. N now grind it with almond n keep aside.. Now I take warm coconut oil n apply it all over my hairs n scalp.. Now when the hair is done.. I take that cream n kesar mixture n apply it all over my neck n face… N let it dry for sometime… This gives my skin natural glow n moisture, Which is best for winter.. If I have more time Them I apply the above mixture to my body n let it fry too..
    For my Lips I use Pure Ghee to give them moisture..
    I do what My Granny always used to say to me to use lemon skin (left over skin after removal of jiuce) on my funny bone n around the neck, where it has become dark , so it would gradually make it normal to my skin tone..
    Then I concentrate on my Hands n legs, which need to be looked at, after all those runnning around my daughter.. I take half bucket of luke warm water n add salt to it N keep my legs in them for 10 mins n them I use foot file to gently smooth rough skin..
    As I have a small baby I usally don’t keep long nails .. So after I have remove d all the nailpolish from hands n legs, I exfoliate my hands with a mix of 2 tsp olive oil n salt n sugar.. Then I cut my nails n keep them clean..
    Then In bath tub I add rosewater n coconut milk in it for some time.N some rose petals also in the bath would be awesome.. By lisenting to my favorite songs, by closing my eyes n just relax..
    After all this I take head bath n just relax for some time.. N ready for the next home chores with fully pampered , rejuvinated n relaxed..

    thank you for this awesome giveaway..

  27. Luke warm your regular hair oil and gently massage the scalp for 15 minutes. Cover your hair strands apart from the scalp, as oil provides moisture, especially at the endsof the hair strands that are most damaged and weak. You can use hair oils like olive oil, almond oil, coconut oil or jojoba oil, as these natural oils strengthen your hair. Use of hair oil makesyour hair healthy besides improvingthe blood circulation too.

  29. In this busy life, we keep thinking of taking time out for ourselves but not always possible to indulge in a long spa session. So I use very good personal care products just to turn that daily bath experience into something relaxing and spa like. For hair spa, I like to use a mixture of some essential oils like rosemary and ylang ylang in a base of some carrier oils. I mix a little quantity of many carrier oils. Rosemary and ylang ylang feel so calming and soothing they make me feel very light in the head. I do some gentle massaging to make the oils go down down into the scalp. Then spend some time in the evening reading a favorite book in complete silence. Then I light some candles around and switch off the lights and enjoy the reflections made by the candle light on the walls around. It so helps to relax and calm my mind, in fact I used to do it a lot when i used to make my own candles. And then have a good relaxing sleep overnight and shampoo my hair next day.

    For bath, I like to use hand made organic soaps which clean and nourish the skin without drying it. Have a nice foot scrub and then after shower, massage my favorite body lotion all over and apply a relaxing foot cream to improve circulation to feet. Add a few drops of lavender essential oil to my face cream and apply on the face. It not only prevents dryness but the lovely fragrance of lavender lingers on for some time and I can literally deep breathe it from my face. That's my everyday bath turned a SPA experience and the hair spa is once a week :)

    Beautiful pictures you have captured Niesha. I would love to try the Argan oil and Hibiscus Dove Elixir :)

    Step 1- Put on soft music and aroma candles at one part of the room and sit in a relaxing position.
    Step 2- Massage ur scalp.Message head with coconut oil for 15-20 minutes with the tips of ur finger as it increases blood circulation and helps in increasing hair growth.
    Step 3-Stream warm hair.Dip a towel or cotton cloth in warm water and squeeze it to remove excess water.Wrap this towel around ur head covering the oiled hair for around 10mins.
    Step 4-Wash ur hair ad apply conditioner on it.
    Step 5-Apply a mixture of banana,yogurt,honey and olive oil as it will do wonders to ur hair.Now wash the hair again...
    Hence u have completed a small ,simple ,easy yet effective hair spa at the comfort of ur own home...

  34. Hair spa at home means.. getting those luscious and silky soft hair with minimum effort..
    I usually indulge myself in homemade hair pack..
    1. either curd + lemon or
    2. Aloe vera massage.. blended with almond oil..
    both works absolutely amazingly and leave me with silky soft hair.. :) :)
    and if i m really short on time I will use a hair butter post hair wash .. :D :D

  36. Apple Pie Spa Treatment Skin Polish

    Apples are notorious for their nutritional benefits; they’re 85% water and high in potassium and vitamins A and C. Perhaps even more beneficial is the malic acid, an exfoliating enzyme in apples that is useful for removing dead skin cells and surface dirt.

    2 tablespoons brown sugar

    2 tablespoons granulated sugar

    1 tablespoon fresh apple puree or apple sauce

    1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

    Mix all ingredients, stirring well. In the bath or shower, apply scrub to skin in a circular motion, using a washcloth, bath gloves, or a loofah sponge. Pay special attention to rough spots like elbows, heels, and knees. Rinse well, and follow with a rich body lotion.

    Note: If using on the face, omit granulated sugar. Brown sugar, because it dissolves gently, is a more appropriate choice for the delicate skin of the face.

  37. Turn your shower into a sauna

    “Just turn your shower on and run it at its hottest temperature for about 20 minutes. While the water is running and the steam is building, take a warm washcloth and spray with your favorite relaxing oil. (Lavender, vanilla or rosemary are all great de-stressing aromas.) When you step into your shower, put the washcloth up to your face and take a deep breath of your soothing, oil-scented steam. It’s a great way to unwind right before bed—and it also helps clear up sinuses.”

    1. Massage your scalp: This is the first step to start a hair treatment at home. Warn some coconut oil or olive oil. Massage your head with this. This increases blood circulation and boosts hair growth.

    2. Steam the hair: Dip a towel in warm water and squeeze the excess water out. Wrap the towel around the hair. This allows the oil to penetrate deep into the scalp. Do this for about 5-six minutes.

    3. Wash your hair: Now, wash the hair with a mild shampoo. Use only cold water as hot water is harmful to the hair roots.

    4. Apply conditioner: Post the shampooing, use a conditioner. You can also use the water of tea leaves to which a few drops of lime juice has been added. Or try a paste of grated beetroot to which hibiscus powder has been added. The hibiscus flower powder is a great base and is rich in iron and other vitamins. Rinse it off after half an hour with just warm water and no shampoo.

    5. Lastly, a hair mask In a bowl, mix two eggs, honey and some coconut oil. You can add a ripe banana to this — banana is a softener. You can also use olive oil instead of coconut oil. Leave the mask on for 20 minutes, then rinse with a mild shampoo.

  39. Hair spa is usually made up of massage oil, hair mask application, shampooing and deep conditioning.

    To start with:

    First heat half a cup of extra virgin olive oil or any other hair oil and let it cool. When the oil is still slightly warm, apply on scalp and hair. Overall oil massage of the scalp with fingertips with gentle circular motions.

    Next, soak a clean towel into a bucket of warm water. Squeeze the towel to remove water. Wrap a warm towel to the head, so the hair is covered by a towel. Leave the towel wrapped around his head for 10 to 15 minutes. This will help the oil get into the hair shaft.

    The next step is to wash the hair with shampoo thoroughly. Choose a shampoo that suits your hair type and texture. Rinse hair with warm water.

    Wipe off excess water in the hair

    Take a deep conditioner or you can prepare homemade conditioner by boiling some fresh mint in 2-3 glasses of water and strain it well. Let it cool. Apply it on your hair and leave the conditioner on your hair for 15 to 20 minutes
    Hair conditioner rinse to remove. Pat with a towel to dry and remove the water on the hair. Next, comb the hair using a wide-toothed comb. Apply a hair mask - (mix up a single teaspoon of honey into one glass of whole milk) massage it into your hair from root to tip. Leave it on for 15 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water and shampoo.

    It works magic. You will fall in love with your hair.
    As it takes almost an hour or two for hair spa you can utilize the time to pamper yourself. Play a light music
    and use scented candles to trigger reactions within the body which relieve stress, enhance mental clarity and concentration, helps to gain energy, create sensual mood and setting.

    Rinse hair with a mixture of two tablespoons vinegar to one cup water, or one-quarter cup of lemon juice and one cup of water.

    One-quarter cup of cider vinegar mixed with water can be used to create a spray that targets product build up.
    Use diluted tea, which contains an astringent, to rinse your hair.

    The ingredients needed for preparing this hair oil are half cup each of olive oil and some rosemary leaves. Put them in a small saucepan and heat it at a low flame. Stir it continuously till the oil becomes warm. After that, remove it from the heat and strain out the rosemary leaves. The oil should be applied on the hair when it is still warm to the touch. Milk is a very good conditioner.Take some milk(preferably cold)and apply it with brush or using a spray bottle,comb your hair gently,wait for 30 minutes.Lightly wash your hair with mild or a baby shampoo.Do not use conditioner after shampoo as milk is a natural conditioner and leaves your hair or
    Apply yogurt mixed with an egg two hours on your hair before taking shower for shiny and healthy hair.

  50. oil and massage hair with almond oil. Almond oil has vitamin E and D which is said to nourish hair, make it long and thick, control hair fall and add shine and bounce to your hair. Massage the oil well into your scalp. I Leave on overnight or for about 1-2 hours.
    Next step would be to lightly steam your hair. Use a small handy steam machine to do so for a good 5 minutes. Ensure that you don’t feel any steam on your scalp. If you steam your hair properly, you won’t feel anything on your scalp. dip a towel in hot water and wrap it around your h. Do this 4-5 times.The last step would be to apply a hair pack.Mix fresh aloe vera pulp with a few drops of lemon juice and leave on for 15 minutes

  51. In this hectic life every person need relaxation and if you are one of them then body spa is best option for you. Due to body spa treatment the body becomes soft and all the dirts get cleaned up. The body spas are too costly and if
    it hurts your pocket than try body spa at home
    Clean your skin with a mixture of milk powder, rose water and lemon juice. Scrub with this mixture for 20-25 minutes.

    2. Wash your body with cold water and completely remove the mixture from body.

    3. Take six capsules of vitamin E. These capsules are available in market and which are cheap too. Massage with the Vitamin E oil for 10 minutes so that the oil get absorbed by the skin deep within.
    OR
    Instead of vitamin E oil you can go with sesame oil and olive oil. Take 20 ml of each oil in a bowl and mix well. Add saffron and heat the oil in microwave or on gas for 3 minutes. Cover the mixture and rest it for 10 minutes. Then apply the mixture on body.

    4. Wrap your body with mask made of one cup of fuller’s mud (Hindi: multani mitti), few camphor (Hindi: Karpur) and half a teaspoon of sandalwood (Hindi: Chandan) paste made from sandalwood stick and milk. Apply this mixture on body and leave it for 20 minutes.

    5. After that wash it off with warm water and then moisturize with any suitable moisturizing cream.

    Body spa has physical and mental benefits both together. It creates wonder for those who are stressed out and also it enhances your beauty naturally.
    Clean your skin with a mixture of milk powder, rose water and lemon juice. Scrub with this mixture for 20-25 minutes.
    Enjoy spa keeping all ur worries aside and just relax

  52. Aromatherapy:

    Have a good soak in the tub with homemade aromatherapy treatments. The base of all aromatherapy bath salts is one part sea salt, two parts baking soda, and one part Epsom salts. Mix it all up, and add a few drops at a time of your favorite essential oil scents. Scents like vanilla and chamomile are popular for relaxing in the tub. Sit and soak in the tub for as long as you need to and get the aromatherapy spa experience at home.

  53. STEAM FACIALS

    Steam facials are very easy to give yourself at home. Boil water and let it sit for a bit before steeping herbs in the water. Good herbs for a steam facial include peppermint, green tea, and lavender. You need the water to be hot enough to provide five minutes of steam. Once the herbs have steeped for a few minutes, put your face and the water underneath a towel. This keeps the steam in, opening your pores up for deep cleaning. Always wash your face and remove all makeup before giving yourself any kind of facial treatment.

    My spa therapy at home includes pampering of my skin and hair. At first I decorate my room with aromated candles and rose petals.

    Then I indulge in pampering of my skin. I exfoliate my skin gently with natural papaya enzymes, to give it a natural glow.

    1. I wash face thoroughly.
    2. Then I bring a vessel of water to boil.
    3. While water is heating, I mash 1/2 of a papaya into a paste.
    4. Then I move vessel to table and place face over steam, holding a bath towel over my head. Adjust to be sure skin is at a comfortable temperature.
    5. Steam face for 5-8 minutes.
    6. Apply papaya mixture, carefully avoiding the eye area.
    7. Lie down and relax for 5-10 minutes.
    8. When I feel fully rejuvenated, I rinse my face and apply moisturizer for a radiant complexion.

    Next, I pamper my hair.

    1. First I heat half a cup of extra virgin olive oil and let it cool. When the oil is still slightly warm, apply on scalp and hair. Overall oil massage of the scalp with fingertips with gentle circular motions. I make sure that I am not pulling my hair while massaging, as it can cause hair loss.

    2. Next, I soak a clean towel into a bucket of warm water. Squeeze the towel to remove water. Wrap a warm towel to the head, so the hair is covered by a towel. Leave the towel wrapped around my head for 10 to 15 minutes. This will help the oil get into the hair shaft.

    3. After applying steam to the hair, the next step is to wash the hair with shampoo thoroughly. I choose a shampoo that suits my hair type and texture. Rinse hair with warm water.

    4. Wipe off excess water in the hair. Make sure that I do not rub my hair with a towel as it can make the hair rough up the cuticle and contribute to frizziness.

    5. Then I take a few deep conditioner and apply it on my hair, use a wide toothed comb. I use a natural conditioner that suits my hair type. With deep conditioning, I can protect my hair from frizziness. Leave the conditioner on my hair for 15 to 20 minutes.

    6. Then I rinse my hair to remove hair conditioner. I pat with a towel to dry and remove the water on the hair. Next, I comb the hair using a wide-toothed comb. Apply a hair mask to each section of hair. Make sure that every hair is coated with a hair mask.Then I wrap my head with a warm towel for 10 to 15 minutes and then wash it off thoroughly with warm water.

    In this way, I pamper my skin and hair at home.

    Thanks for the lovely Giveaway.

  56. I am very much comfortable about doing spa at home with natural productS other than going to beauty parlour & expensive chemical spa.
    The four steps of hair spa are oiling,shampooing ,conditioning & applying hair mask.
    The following step can be done for a natural hair spa :
    1) Oiling
    Massage the scalp nicely with warm olive oil to relax for about 15-20 minutes. Once done with oiling, just wrap a towel dipped in warm water around your head. The idea is to provide steam to your hair. The steam provided to hair helps in penetrating the oil within the scalp.

    2) Shampooing
    The next step in this hair spa procedure is shampooing. It is better if the first step is done at night and the oil is left as it is overnight. Though in case you don't want to keep the oiled hair overnight just shampoo them well with a mild natural shampoo after 2-3 hours.

    3) Conditioning
    Next condition the hair with a suitable conditioner. It would be better to use a herbal hair conditioner than a chemical laden one.

    4) Applying Hair Mask
    Now in the last step we would need to apply hair mask for nourishing the hair. There are numerous herbal hair masks available in market these days. Though, I prefer making hair masks at home. I love egg & oil hair mask

    Egg and Oil Hair Mask- We need a well beaten mixture of 2 eggs and 6 spoonfuls of coconut oil. Whisk it thoroughly to get a smooth mixture. Apply this mixture on scalp with the help of fingers. The heat produced by the friction of fingers while massaging would help the oil penetrate deep into the scalp thus, nourishing the hair. Cover the hair after applying it evenly all over the head rinse it off with a herbal shampoo after 20 minutes.
