Quick answer

A head massage service consists of wetting the hair, massaging the scalp with a suitable shampoo, working it into a lather and rinsing thoroughly. It can be offered on its own or as an extra relaxation step at the end of a facial.

Why is head massage in demand?

Head massage quickly creates a sense of relaxation and is a service clients often add on. Added to the end of a facial, it rounds off the experience; as a separate service it is easy to add to the menu.

Application steps

  1. Wet the hair thoroughly with lukewarm water.
  2. Distribute the shampoo over the scalp.
  3. Massage with the fingertips in circular movements from the hairline towards the nape.
  4. Work into a lather and rinse the hair thoroughly.

Croen Head Massage Hair Care Shampoo is suitable for all hair types and for daily use, and is for professional use only. It contains hyaluronic acid, Lactobacillus lysate, panthenol and Pelvetia canaliculata extract.

Adding it to your treatment menu

You can offer head massage as a separate 15–20 minute service or as an add-on to a facial. Briefly explaining the treatment to the client and providing a quiet, dimly lit setting enhances the experience.
