 BENEFITS OF SCALP
AND HAIR TREATMENT
Relaxation

• there is nothing like a good scalp

massage. The effects are
immediate and extremely
relaxing!
• A scalp massage can even prevent
and get rid of headaches, which is
reason enough for people with
chronic headaches to get this
service done. During a scalp
treatment you’ll receive a good,
long scalp massage as they apply
the leave-in conditioner.
Unclogs hair follicles.
• Just like the rest of your body, hair follicles on the scalp can get clogged
with a variety of substances. The most common is sebum, which is your
natural oil that is secreted from the sebaceous gland in the hair follicle.
This oil combines with dirt chemical residue from hair products to clog
those pores right up. Scalp treatments are a great way to clear them out
and reset the sebum levels. The products used in a scalp treatment
combined with the gentle exfoliation and scalp massage will help to
unclog any buildup in those hair follicles, which then allows the follicle to
release its natural conditioning oils. A healthy follicle means healthy hair
growth!
• Sebum is a sticky,
oily substance
produced by the
sebaceous glands,
which sit in the
middle layers of the
skin, near hair
follicles. Sebum helps
moisturize and
protect the skin. It
contains several
types of fat molecule,
or lipids.
Stimulates blood flow.
• The exfoliation and massage portions of
a scalp treatment help to stimulate
blood flow to your scalp, making it
easier for blood to reach your follicles
and deliver important nutrients. The
hair that grows out of those nutrient-
rich follicles will be healthy and supple!
Again, a healthy follicle means healthy
hair
Gets rid of dandruff.

• No one likes an embarrassing dandruff problem…

Dandruff can be a result of either too much oil production
or too little. If your scalp is producing too much oil, it
irritates the scalp and causes flakiness. If it isn’t
producing enough, that dryness will also result in
irritation and flakiness. A scalp treatment will involve
some exfoliation to get rid of all that dead skin, leaving a
layer of fresh, healthy skin behind. You’ll also get a leave-
in conditioner applied, which lubricates and moisturizes
the scalp to promote healthy hair growth.
Prevents thinning and hair loss.

• Clogged follicles can result in a lack of hair

growth. When you unclog those follicles and reset
the sebum production levels, your hair has a
chance to grow back much healthier! Some scalps
require special products to remove an excessive
amount of build-up, and some will even require
medication. But if caught early enough, a simple
scalp treatment done regularly can promote the
growth of thicker, healthier hair.
