Relaxation with a Scalp Massage

Yet another great way to achieve bliss is with a scalp massage. Just the other day when I was at the hair salon getting extensions, my hairstylist gave me the most memorable scalp massage ever.

I could have drooled a little, it was so soothing. We all wash our hair, use our products and certainly try to enjoy our showers but an actual scalp massage is so much more.

New to spa is the service of scalp massages. What an amazing way to bond through the power of touch and receive much needed relaxation. Scalp massages release oxytocin, promoting feelings of closeness and security. 

Additionally, this treatment increases blood circulation for healthier hair follicles and well, it’s just so pleasant. 

Techniques vary by the professional services offered. Some places have rain water devices applied after kneading the scalp. Others, have actual massage devices to further knead the head for longer periods of time to soothe and calm clients. Scents are a must for this service and often again vary by what you’d like to achieve so be sure to communicate with your hair expert to maximize your experience.

As I had my head kneaded by his gentle hands and the scent of the soothing conditioner filled my senses, I experienced a newfound appreciation for this treatment and my hairstylist.
