Head massage

Head massage helps ease tension, brings a sense of ease and improves circulation. By increasing blood flow in the scalp it nourishes the hair roots. It is a short treatment whose effect is felt quickly — particularly by guests who spend their days at a computer.

How head massage is given

The guest settles either sitting or lying down; the therapist works the scalp, nape and neck with the soft pressure of the fingertips and circular strokes. It can be given with oil or without — the guest chooses. The session takes place in quiet surroundings, because half of what the treatment does rests on the nervous system calming.

How head massage acts on migraine and the hair roots

The scalp and the nape are among the first places tension gathers. During the massage, circulation in that area increases and the muscular tension lets go:

What better scalp circulation brings

• Relief in tension headaches
• A sense of ease in migraine
• Increased blood flow in the scalp
• Support for the nourishment of the hair roots
• A calmer nervous system
• A favourable effect on the quality of sleep
• Tension across the neck and shoulders letting go

When it is postponed, and the oil-free option

No particular preparation is needed. If there is acute inflammation, injury or a flare-up of a skin condition on the scalp, the treatment is postponed. Head massage is not a naftalan treatment; it belongs to the restful side of the course, and can be planned before or after the hair-care programme with naftalan products. In the first days after hair colouring or a chemical treatment the session is given without oil.

Head massage in Naftalan — Sun City Hotel & Spa

Head massage is given in the hotel's spa area and, being short, fits into any hour of the day. Some guests choose it in the evening, before bed — that is when its calming effect is felt most. Being short, it is convenient to plan it in the same block as a massage or the hair-care programme.
