The Japanese head spa broadly comes under the wellness-oriented category and is based on Ayurvedic Head Massage, a 3,000-year-old comprehensive treatment that dates back to India’s Vedic history. Ayurvedic medicine is a branch of Ayurveda (Ayur = life, Veda = science or knowledge) medicine, which is one of the world’s oldest holistic treatments for the entire body.

Our scalps are tingling just thinking about it.

A popular Japanese treatment for beautifully lustrous and healthy hair is now finding its way to the beauty parlors and other spa treatment centers!

It’s called a “head spa,” and you definitely need one. Its goal is to improve circulation in your scalp by massaging pressure points, done by a qualified professional in head reflexology. It also offers advantages that go beyond simply being calming. It has been shown to help with both dry and oily scalps, hair loss, and even puffiness in the face.

While the treatment varies based on the person and the facility, it usually includes moderate steam followed by a massage and exfoliation to stimulate renewal and release of dead skin buildup. A suction-based deep clean helps ramp up the detoxifying and deep cleansing effects after the initial stage.
