When was the last time you gave your scalp the attention it deserves?

Most people focus on hair treatments, but your scalp is the foundation of hair health — and just like your skin, it can suffer from buildup, dryness, and imbalance.


At Vitality Vibe Spa, we specialize in scalp detox treatments tailored to your unique needs. But how often should you get one? Let’s break it down.

🧴 What Is a Scalp Detox?



A scalp detox is a deep cleansing treatment designed to remove:


  • Product buildup (dry shampoo, conditioner, etc.)

  • Dead skin cells

  • Excess oil

  • Pollutants and toxins



At our spa, we combine traditional Japanese head spa techniques with modern innovations like AI scalp analysis, allowing us to identify exactly what your scalp needs.




🔁 How Often Should You Get a Scalp Detox?



Here’s a general guideline:

Scalp Type/Concern

Frequency

Oily scalp or buildup

Every 2–3 weeks

Dry/flaky or sensitive scalp

Every 4–6 weeks

Normal/healthy scalp

Every 6–8 weeks

Hair loss concerns

Every 3–4 weeks for best results

However, every scalp is different. That’s why we recommend starting with our AI scalp analysis so we can customize your detox schedule.


⚠️ Signs You May Need a Detox:



  • Itchy or tight scalp

  • Greasy roots 1–2 days after washing

  • Excess hair shedding

  • Lack of volume at the roots

  • Dandruff or flakiness

  • Your scalp “smells off” even when freshly washed





💆‍♀️ What Happens During a Detox Session at Vitality Vibe Spa?



Your session includes:


  • AI scalp scan + analysis

  • Double cleansing with clarifying and hydrating formulas

  • Ozone mist steam infused with essential oils

  • Scalp exfoliation and massage

  • Light therapy stimulation

  • Aftercare guidance for home



This isn’t just a relaxing treatment — it’s a reset for your scalp, nervous system, and self.




🏡 Aftercare Tips: How to Maintain a Healthy Scalp at Home



To extend the benefits of your scalp detox, we recommend:


  • Avoiding heavy product use (like waxes or dry shampoo)

  • Using sulfate-free, scalp-friendly shampoo

  • Massaging your scalp weekly with a brush or fingertips

  • Drinking more water — hydration matters!

  • Returning for a professional detox every 4–6 weeks (or as needed)
