I've been losing a lot of hair lately, and my haircutter suggested that I try a hair spa treatment to help. Do you think it's a good idea? Will a hair spa actually help reduce my hair loss? I'm really concerned and would love your advice.

You can proceed with hair spa treatments as they can help promote hair health, reduce stress, and improve scalp conditions, but it's essential to consult a dermatologist to rule out underlying medical conditions causing hair loss.
