Scalp Massage: The Magic Touch


Some things in life should be indulged in as often as possible: Afternoon naps, molten chocolate lava cake, fragrant bubble baths, the sound of baby laughter and scalp massages.

At Believe, we know about the healing power of the human touch, which is why we not only give a short massage every time we shampoo your hair, but are happy to provide longer scalp massages with aromatherapy oils and conditioning products like Aestlance Oil Complex..

Besides feeling absolutely wonderful (try it on your partner after a hard day of work or your child after a big test and you'll see what we mean), scalp massage has plenty of other benefits.

Here are just a few of the wonderful thing a good scalp massage provides:
  • Improves blood circulation (a stress-constricted scalp blocks blood flow to hair roots).
  • Provides deep relaxation of not just the scalp but the whole body loosens up.
  • Builds stronger hair roots which helps to encourage new growth and aid in stopping hair loss.
  • Protects from environmental toxins as massage strengthens the hair's follicles.
  • Adds moisture to the hair and conditioning to the scalp, enhancing hair's texture and diminishing breakage and split ends.
  • Increases shine and body to hair.
  • Speeds up replenishment of hair's natural oils after a dry winter or sunburnt summer.
  • Moves those natural oils (sebum) to the ends of hair without potentially harmful over-brushing.
  • Helps discourage dandruff, eczema and flaky, itchy scalps.
  • Lifts the spirits and gets rid of depression, insomnia and stress.
  • Regulates the thyroid and may help balance body temperature.
  • Adds a glow to your facial complexion.
  • Eliminates chronic headaches and even migraines.
  • Minimizes chronic eye strain by helping your eyes relax.

Scalp massage is also credited with increasing mental clarity and making you more creative! Now confess, your shoulders felt a bit more relaxed just reading this...so don't wait. Call us at Believe and make an appointment for a scalp massage. We can't wait to run our fingers through your hair.
