Head spas have become popular for their positive effects on the hair and scalp, and for the “good feeling” they provide. An increasing number of beauty salons and hair salons in Bangkok are offering head spas as part of their menus. Head spas not only help to regulate the scalp environment, but also have many other benefits for modern people, such as alleviating eye fatigue, relaxing the body, and relieving stress. In this article, we will introduce the typical effects and benefits of head spas and the beauty salons that offer head spas in Bangkok. If you are tired from work, this is a must-see!
What is a head spa? Let’s learn about head spas
“Head spas are head massages?” Many people have a vague idea of what a head spa is. However, it is not just a head massage! Cleansing removes dirt and grime that cannot be removed by regular shampooing, and scalp massage increases blood circulation and removes waste products, thereby not only keeping the scalp healthy but also having a positive effect on the hair, eyes, face, and neck. It is also very effective for scalp care, skin care and anti-aging, such as eliminating sagging skin.
7 Pleasant Head Spa Effects
A simple explanation of a head spa is a beauty regimen that uses cleansing and massage to keep hair and scalp healthy. As mentioned earlier, it has many benefits for the hair, face, and eyes. From the numerous benefits and advantages that can be obtained from head spas, we will introduce some of the most representative ones.
① Beauty Hair Effect
Head spas are effective for beautiful hair because they moisturize and nourish hair with treatments. Also, by cleaning the pores and relaxing the scalp, blood circulation improves and nutrients can be fully distributed to the hair. Repairing damage and nurturing healthy hair will lead to the beautiful hair of your dreams.
② Improved scalp environment
Most of the problems such as an itchy head, sticky hair, and smelly scalp can be solved with a head spa. Head spas at beauty salons can be expected to have a “moisturizing” effect on dry scalp and a “cleansing” effect to remove dirt clogged in the pores, so the aforementioned problems can also be resolved. In addition, the massage improves blood flow, which promotes “scalp turnover” and keeps the scalp healthy.
③ Prevention of thinning hair and hair growth
Head spas improve blood flow and scalp environment to deliver important nutrients to the hair. The nutrients will be delivered to the hair, which will grow thick and healthy.
④ Prevention of Gray Hair
Head spas cannot turn existing gray hair black, but they can prevent the growth of gray hair. By improving blood flow and transporting nutrients to the “melanocytes” that produce hair pigment, it keeps melanocytes functioning properly and reduces the occurrence of gray hair.
⑤ Lifting effect
Did you know that head spas have a face-lifting effect? The scalp and face are connected by a single piece of skin, and the health of the scalp can be the source of sagging and wrinkles. By thoroughly rubbing the scalp and softening the muscles of the head, the facial muscles are also tightened, leading to a lift-up effect.
⑥ Improvement and relief of eye strain
Eye strain is caused by stiffening of the muscles located above the ears. A head massage to relieve the stiffness will improve blood flow and flush out the fatigue substances around the eyes. This, combined with the lifting effect, has many people saying that their eyes have become brighter.
⑦ Refreshment and stress relief
One of the benefits of a head massage is to remove stress that has somehow built up, leaving you feeling refreshed and energized. When the body and mind are relaxed through massage, breathing becomes deeper, autonomic nervous system disorders are resolved, and the body’s internal environment is regulated. As you know, stress is not only the cause of all illnesses, but it can also lead to hair loss and graying. It is ideal to have regular head spas to keep your mind and body in good health.
