Our day at the head spa
A new year is here! It seems a great time to reset, whether that means a new you or just a new number you keep forgetting to write on forms and checks. What about some well-deserved self-care first? Have you heard of a scalp spa or head spa? Head spas have only been around for five years, and they were first established in Korea. The goal
is to remove products and buildup from the scalp, and to treat conditions like acne or inflammation, as well as for relaxation. The massage even promotes the scalp’s blood flow, which can aid in hair growth. We had to check it out because it sounded wonderful to us!
She said: I guess it was just a matter of time before spas only started popping up. We have them for our feet, hands, whole body, and dogs, I mean. Always visited that last one, but I’ve heard that the food was great. Anyway, I must say that the head spa was very different from what I had anticipated. I assumed that all those half-circle water items would be for relaxation, massage, and magnificent hair products that had a coconut-like scent. Also, sort of. Depending on the esthetician you choose, each spa will have significantly different products applied to your hair, so keep in mind that this one used various oils, creams, and foam products to massage them onto the scalp before washing them off. The waterfall device, which also had a small rotating massaging tool, was the best feature. I would have been irritable if that had lasted the entire 60 minutes, but it was very calm. Unfortunately, it only lasted a short while. After that, a plastic hood that was haloed around my head gave me a steam infusion. The closest I’ll always feel to feeling like an astronaut is definitely me. Although I initially felt a small claustrophobic, I didn’t mind getting choked as much once the neck, shoulder, arm, and hand massage started. Before the session, a scalp analysis took pictures of my scalp in four different places. This included a portion of the session.
I could see how things had changed once it was all finished. Thankfully, my scalp was healthy. There wasn’t any buildup because I don’t actually use a lot of products, but the pictures did show some inflammation. That improved after the treatment, really! Don’t plan on going somewhere finally because your hair will be a floofy mess. Or, bring a hat.
He said,” I had no idea what a head spa was,” and let’s face it, he neither did you. The distinction between you and me is that when we made the appointment, I was unaware of what it was. When I entered the salon, I was unsure of what it was. When I entered the massage room, I noticed a massage table with a sink stuffed with tubes, water sprayers, and a head rest, as well as large water jugs, microscopes, and other big things. What exactly are we doing below now, in my opinion, was what I meant to say? because it appeared that I was going to be boarded. The therapist explained that we were about to get a Asian scalp massage. She continued to explain how most people forget that our skin is under our hair and that it also develops irritability and buildup like our faces. Step one: She virtually put me under the microscope. I had a magnified view of my scalp, which actually highlighted all of my poor scalp-related life choices.
Next came a scrub that I’m quite know had some of my childhood’s forgotten. When I was five, I had a cat named Jasper. She placed a huge plastic hood over my head, which circulated warm, lavender-scented steam throughout my cranium for step three. Steps four through seven were a blur of cleansing shampoos, heavy conditioners, neck and shoulder rubs, and rinses. These reviews are challenging, but they must be done by someone. I left feeling like a comfortable Fabio, my delectable locks swaying in the breeze. My hair has always felt more supple. The therapist advised me to do this about half a year, but I might do it more frequently simply for fun.
