In autumn, the kids are back in school and the busy season picks up again at work. Give yourself a break by booking a luxurious scalp treatment. Find out how the state-of-the-art procedure works below.

What a Scalp Treatment Entails

Healthy hair requires a healthy scalp. A scalp treatment, also called a “head spa,” adapts the popular Japanese regimen of cleansing, nourishing, and moisturizing the scalp to promote stronger, glossier locks. The seven-step procedure takes about two hours. First, you start with an oil cleansing massage, followed by a shampoo massage, revitalizing treatment, scalp nutrition treatment, hair mask, and nutrition ointment. A blow-dry finishes the job.

How It Repairs & Protects Your Hair

During the summer, you spend more time outside enjoying the sunny days. The high temperatures and humidity have you sweating more than usual, which clogs pores, including those on the scalp. This impedes hair growth. Additionally, ultraviolet rays and seawater can leave hair faded and brittle. 

The stress of a busy fall schedule also means trouble for your tresses. Stress causes tension in the muscles of the scalp; you may even experience headaches as a result. This muscle constriction can likewise adversely affect hair growth. 

Autumn is the perfect time to counteract such damage. A scalp treatment’s deep clean and massage stimulates pores and improves blood flow to the scalp, priming hair for growth. Meanwhile, the nutrient infusion ensures these new hairs will be stronger and more resistant to breakage. This investment will pay off in the seasons to come.
