Head spas are offered at hair salons. In addition to preventing gray hair and hair loss and relaxing the body, head spas also have the effect of lifting the face and making it look smaller, so many people probably go regularly.
Head spas are great for both beauty and health, but they can also be done at home. Of course, without special skills or tools, it is impossible to perform a full-fledged treatment like at a salon, but a simple head massage using oil is an easy challenge for anyone!
How to give a head massage at home using oil
First, let me show you how to give a head massage with oil, which you can do at home. Do it about once a week when you take a bath. This will remove dirt from the pores that could not be removed by shampooing alone and promote blood circulation in the scalp.
What you need
Hairbrush
Hair oil
Steamed towel
Shower cap (not necessary)
Shampoo and conditioner
Head Spa Method
- comb the hair with a brush to lift impurities from the scalp. 2.
2) Using your fingers, gradually apply the oil to the scalp, brushing through the hair. Be careful not to get oil on your hair. You can easily spread the oil over the entire scalp by sliding your fingers little by little from the nape of the neck, the hairline of the forehead, and the fringe to the crown of the head. 3.
Once the entire scalp is covered with oil, massage the scalp with your fingers. Do not use fingernails, but use your fingers with as much force as you feel comfortable with.
- Cover your hair with a steamed towel and put on a shower cap. Leave it on for about 5 minutes. In the meantime, take a bath in a bathtub to improve blood circulation to the scalp. 5.
- Gently rinse off the oil with lukewarm water. Apply the hot water directly to the scalp.
- Shampoo and rinse.
Oil left on the scalp and hair can cause dandruff and hair loss. Lather shampoo thoroughly and rinse off any excess oil left on the scalp.
Perfect for head spas! Recommended Oils
The oils used for head spas at home can be varied to suit your personal preferences. Choose 100% pure and natural products.
Recommended for beginners is camellia oil, which has long been considered compatible with Japanese hair. It also helps prevent dandruff and itching. It also has UV-protective properties and can be used not only for head spas, but also as a no-rinse treatment to be applied to wet hair before hair drying. Jojoba oil, which is said to prevent dandruff and promote hair growth, is also perfect for beginners. There are many other oils available, including olive oil, argan oil, and castor oil. Each oil has a different color, effect, and texture, so try different kinds.
However, these oils may not be suitable for everyone’s skin. Before using them in a head massage, be sure to do a patch test on a soft skin area, such as the inside of your arm.
Regular at-home head spas, healthy scalp!
Head massage using oil is easy to do. While the oil is being blended in, you can enjoy the relaxing effect of aroma in the bath. Let’s give it a try on a regular basis to nurture a healthy scalp.
Not only will your scalp feel refreshed, but this kind of diligent care will protect your hair for decades to come.
Another drawback of home head spas is that you cannot check your scalp with your own eyes. It is important to visit a salon regularly to have the condition of your scalp checked.
