Why you need a scalp detox 

Fact: A healthy scalp is vital for healthy, strong and lush hair. And when your scalp isn’t cared for, it can lead to a myriad of problems, from dandruff to thinning locks, or worse yet, hair loss. 

After all, your scalp accumulates dirt, dead skin cells and oil – especially if it’s not cleansed properly. 

While shampooing your hair is important to get rid of the impurities, sometimes you need a good thorough scalp cleanse to rebalance your scalp and promote healthy hair growth. 

Instead of incorporating multiple clarifying shampoos and scalp scrubs in your routine, there is an easier (and more pampering) way to rebalance your scalp. 

The answer: 6 Elements Hair Spa’s Thickening Therapy Treatment. It strengthens the hair follicles to promote thicker, healthier hair growth while nourishing and restoring scalp balance at the same time. Plus, it prevents hair loss by encouraging blood flow and micro-circulation to the scalp area. 

A complete scalp and hair treatment 

As with any treatment at 6 Elements Hair Spa, your journey starts with a personalised consultation with one of the hair spa’s skilled consultants. It includes a detailed scalp analysis where both you and the consultant will get a better understanding of the state of your scalp and hair, identifying areas of concern to be addressed during the treatment. 

Once you are comfortably seated, the treatment begins with a disinfection of your scalp using a high frequency machine. This machine works by increasing the blood circulation to purify the scalp to allow a better absorption of the product nutrients that will be applied during the treatment. Next, a deep cleansing lotion is applied and massaged into the scalp to clean away excess sebum and balance the scalp’s pH level. 

This is followed by a hair wash, which includes a relaxation inducing acupressure head therapy to stimulate the hair follicles for healthy hair growth.  

Once the scalp and hair is nice and clean, you’re escorted into a serene spa room where you’ll be treated to not one, but two masks – a specially formulated scalp mask to rejuvenate the scalp and replenish the nutrients needed and a hair mask to nourish the locks. 

To boost its absorption, your scalp and hair is then steamed using a special O3 Steam Machine. This step also helps neutralise free radicals, which results in the hair follicle cells being less prone to damage. 

A relaxing shoulder acutherapy follows to ease away tension and tight knots, the perfect complement to the steam session. After which, a customised tonic is applied to the scalp. And to finish, hair is rinsed, blow-dried and styled. 

Why we’re loving it… 

“The place was welcoming and the staff were well-trained. The consultant instantly made me feel comfortable during the scalp analysis and was knowledgeable in explaining the hair growth cycle and different scalp conditions.  

They offered drinks and blankets to keep me warm, which were a lovely touch, and regularly checked in to ensure that I was comfortable at all times. The steaming process was my favourite part because of the ambience, not to mention the powerful and rejuvenating shoulder, back and upper arm acutherapy that revived my tired self. 

My scalp felt clean and light, and my hair looked healthy and fuller – in part thanks to the new parting that the consultant recommended during the blow-dry.”
