What is Indian head massage?
It is a massage focused on the scalp, neck and shoulders. It is usually done with you seated, and can be done with or without oil, so tell us what you prefer, especially if your hair is styled.
Who it suits
It suits people who want a shorter, focused session, especially after long hours at a desk. If you are wearing braids or a wig, tell us so we can adapt the massage.
After your massage
You may feel relaxed or a little tired. Drink water and rest, and speak to a doctor if you feel unwell or a headache continues.
What the session involves
Indian head massage focuses on the scalp, neck and shoulders. It is usually done with you seated, and we agree the areas to include when you book. The movements are steady and gentle, so the session can feel deeply relaxing even though it is short.
With oil or without
It can be done with or without oil. If your hair is styled, braided or freshly done, you may prefer a session without oil. Tell us your preference at the start, along with any allergies or scalp sensitivity, and we will adapt.
With braids, locs or a wig
If you are wearing braids, locs or a wig, tell us when you book. We can adapt the massage so we do not pull or disturb the style, for example by focusing on the neck and shoulders and working gently around the scalp. If you have a wig on, we will advise whether it needs to come off for the scalp part.
A seated session at home or the office
Because it is usually seated and short, Indian head massage suits working days. We come to you, and you stay in your normal clothes. Tell us the space and we will say what we need.
What you may feel afterwards
Many people feel relaxed and a little sleepy afterwards. Drink water and take it easy. If you feel dizzy, unwell or have a headache that continues, rest and speak to a doctor.
When to check with a doctor first
Massage is for relaxation and is not medical treatment. Check with your doctor before booking if you have a scalp condition, a recent head or neck injury, frequent headaches or dizziness, or a medical condition affecting the head or neck. Tell us about anything relevant so we can adjust the session or advise you not to go ahead.
Aftercare
Drink water and avoid anything demanding straight afterwards if you feel relaxed. If you used oil, you can wash it out with a gentle shampoo when you like.
Longer sessions
If you want more than the head and shoulders, see back massage or full body massage.
How long a session lasts
Indian head massage is usually shorter than a full body session, which is why many people fit it into a break or after work. We agree the length when you book and confirm it in your quote.
What to wear and expect
You usually stay fully clothed and seated. Tell us if you would like us to avoid a particular area, and let us know if the pressure is too firm or too light. We adjust as we go.
Booking an Indian head massage
Message us on WhatsApp, LINE or email with the session length you want, and whether you are wearing braids, locs or a wig, your location and any health notes we should know about. We reply with availability and a quote that includes any travel fee for a home or office visit, and we can also see you at the studio by appointment.
