After a stressful day, all you want to do is just relax, right? Usually, you’d think about getting a massage at a spa. A relaxing day to pamper yourself. But, there is one area that is not getting enough pampering! Your head and scalp silly! When’s the last time you got a head massage? I’m guessing the last time you went to a hair salon. But even then, it probably wasn’t a “real head massage”. If you want to feel the relaxation you felt when the hairstylist washed your hair, visit a Head Spa instead! Well, it doesn’t have to be a head spa, most salons and normal spas offer head massages too. Over at Beauty Insider, we are here to tell you all about what a head spa can do for you and where to get one! 

What Is A Head Spa

question

A head spa is essentially a massage for your head. This massage is a quite popular treatment in Japan because it uses its beauty techniques. A head spa aims to help you achieve luscious tresses while cleansing your scalp. Since there are several benefits of getting a head spa and you can get one at a hair salon or even at a spa! 

The Process of A Head Massage

Once you know where to go for a head spa, it is actually quite a quick process! Before starting the massage, you will most probably be greeted with a hair consultation. The hairstylist will actually diagnose your hair concerns and advise you on what is the best treatment for it. After getting to know your scalp, you can move on to getting it washed and treated! 

First off the hairstylist will just give your hair a regular wash. This is to get out all the dirt and cleanse your scalp. After that, you will be able to experience a relaxing head spa massage! Depending on the salon or spa, you might get a mask to cover your eyes during the wash. Lastly, you will be brought back to your chair, where your head massage will continue. Some will even go further and massage your neck and shoulders too! Great for those who are stiff and stressed. 

5 Benefits of Getting A Head Massage

Moving on, let’s look at what exactly a head spa massage can do for you?

1. Refreshing Scalp

No matter what type of massage or spa, the number one thing that you will get is a thorough cleansing. Even though we wash our hair consistently, there still might be buildup we cannot see. Getting it scrubbed by a professional can help get rid of all the product and shampoo buildup. It also helps get rid of all the dead skin cells and flakes. 

2. Helps With Scalp Conditions

Rather than just giving you a simple head massage, most head spa treatments will help target the condition of your scalp. That is why some treatments offer a consultation before starting. Understanding what your hair needs can help to tailor the treatment and spa to you. Thus, if you have an oily or dry scalp, the stylist will probably include something to help treat it. 

3. Repairing Damaged Hair

Even though a head spa may focus on your scalp, some salons will actually help fix your long tresses as well! Besides just providing your scalp with nourishment, they will help to treat your damaged hair as well. Therefore, you get a sort of two-in-one and is suitable for those that have damaged hair due to colouring too!

4. Reducing Hair Loss

Some salons also offer a more intensive treatment to help enhance your scalp. This can help figure out if your scalp has any underlying problems. Some offer treatments for your hair follicles and can help prevent the loss of hair. It might even promote the growth of hair. If you find that you are dropping more hair than usual, it would be a good idea to ask the salon to check it out. 

5. Luscious Locks
