After a long day at work, all we want to do is unwind and relax.

Here are some of our favourite places to get a rejuvenating yet affordable head massage in Singapore without breaking the bank.

What is a head massage?

---

Just think of it as a spa treatment for your head. It involves applying gentle pressure and strokes on your scalp, neck, and sometimes shoulders. Specifically targeting the muscles and blood vessels underneath the scalp, head massages help release tension from the muscles while also helping to improve memory.

Very often, people go for head massages because they feel a strain in parts of their body from the neck up. This can be attributed to many reasons, like poor sleeping posture, lack of an ergonomic chair, or just staring at the screens for too long.

What are the benefits of getting a head massage

---

Head massages stimulate nerve endings and increase blood circulation, which helps to soothe muscle tension in the scalp, neck, and shoulders. This can be really effective for alleviating headache and migraine symptoms.

By restoring blood flow to the scalp, head massages can activate dormant hair follicles, leading to thicker and healthier hair. Additionally, head massages help cleanse the scalp by removing product buildup and dead skin cells, creating a healthier environment for hair growth.
