The Evidence<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Separating what a scalp treatment reliably does from what it&#8217;s often marketed as doing makes the whole category considerably easier to judge honestly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_the_Evidence_Actually_Supports\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What the Evidence Actually Supports<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Removing built-up dead skin, product residue, and excess oil from the scalp is a real, mechanical process with the same solid backing as facial exfoliation, unclogging follicles and creating a cleaner environment for hair to grow from. This part isn&#8217;t controversial or unproven. It&#8217;s basic skincare logic applied to a different patch of skin.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_the_Evidence_Gets_More_Mixed\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where the Evidence Gets More Mixed<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Claims that scalp treatments dramatically boost hair growth or thickness rest on considerably thinner evidence than the marketing around <em>&#8220;head spa&#8221;<\/em> treatments usually suggests. Some studies on scalp massage specifically suggest a possible link to improved circulation and modest support for hair thickness over time, but the research here is limited and mixed rather than settled, so treating this as a guaranteed outcome oversells what&#8217;s actually been shown.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_One_Benefit_Thats_Properly_Well-Established\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The One Benefit That&#8217;s Properly Well-Established<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a very particular kind of surrender that happens the moment a scalp massage actually starts, somewhere between falling asleep and forgetting your own name. The relaxation and stress-relief benefit of scalp massage is honestly the most solidly supported part of the whole experience, on par with what any well-done massage delivers elsewhere on the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_Actually_Involved_in_a_Scalp_Treatment\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What&#8217;s Actually Involved in a Scalp Treatment<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketing something as a <em>&#8220;head spa&#8221;<\/em> promises considerably more drama than <em>&#8220;someone exfoliates your scalp and rubs it for a while,&#8221;<\/em> though to be fair, the actual experience does slightly undersell the marketing once you&#8217;re in the chair.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scalp_Scrubs_and_Exfoliation\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scalp Scrubs and Exfoliation<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A scalp scrub uses a physical or chemical exfoliant to lift away dead skin and buildup, the same basic principle behind any skin exfoliation, just applied to a part of the body that rarely gets the same attention as the face does.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/blog\/signs-your-scalp-needs-a-treatment\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recognising when a scalp actually needs this kind of attention<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> counts for more than defaulting to a treatment on a fixed schedule regardless of what the scalp is actually doing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Massage_Step_Itself\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Massage Step Itself<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manual massage, sometimes assisted with a specific tool, works through the scalp to release tension and support circulation, and this step is doing most of the actual relaxation work in the entire treatment. Even without dramatic hair-growth claims attached, this part alone justifies the appointment for plenty of people.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Should_Be_Cautious_With_Scalp_Exfoliation\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who Should Be Cautious With Scalp Exfoliation<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyone with active scalp conditions like psoriasis, eczema, or open sores or irritation should check with a doctor before trying a scalp scrub or exfoliating treatment, since physical exfoliation can aggravate an already compromised scalp barrier rather than help it. A treatment built for a generally healthy scalp isn&#8217;t automatically safe for a scalp already dealing with an active skin condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Makes_a_Japanese_Head_Spa_Different\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Makes a Japanese Head Spa Different<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Japanese head spa specifically is usually a longer, more ceremonial version of a standard scalp treatment, often incorporating extended massage time, specialised tools, and sometimes steam, building a more immersive, multi-step ritual around the same core exfoliation and massage principles. The extra time and ceremony properly change the experience, even when the underlying mechanics stay similar to a simpler scalp treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dry_Scalp_Therapy_Specifically\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dry Scalp Therapy Specifically<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dry scalp therapy shifts the focus toward hydration and calming irritation rather than the deeper exfoliation an oily, buildup-heavy scalp might need, since a flaky, dry scalp responds better to gentler, moisture-focused products than an aggressive scrub would. Assuming every scalp treatment addresses every scalp condition equally is how someone ends up with a treatment better suited to a completely different problem than the one they actually have.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Ingredients_and_What_Theyre_Actually_For\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common Ingredients and What They&#8217;re Actually For<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salicylic acid and tea tree oil show up frequently in scalp treatments aimed at oil control and buildup, both having real, established antibacterial or exfoliating properties backed by actual evidence. Hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or specific plant oils show up more often in dry scalp formulations, aimed at calming and moisturising rather than stripping anything away. Knowing which category a specific product or treatment actually falls into counts for more than assuming any scalp product works the same way regardless of what&#8217;s actually in it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Often_You_Actually_Need_One\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Often You Actually Need One<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expecting one scalp treatment to undo several years of dry shampoo overuse is asking a single appointment to perform a miracle it was never actually built to deliver.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gentle_Care_Can_Happen_More_Often_Than_a_Full_Treatment\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gentle Care Can Happen More Often Than a Full Treatment<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Light exfoliation or a simple massage routine at home can reasonably happen weekly without causing any issues, since the intensity involved is considerably gentler than a full professional treatment. This kind of regular, low-intensity care supports the scalp between more involved appointments rather than replacing them entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Professional_Treatments_Need_More_Space_Between_Sessions\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professional Treatments Need More Space Between Sessions<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A more intensive professional scalp treatment generally suits a monthly rhythm, similar to how a facial gets spaced out, since the scalp needs real recovery time between more thorough sessions. Over-treating a scalp, the same way over-exfoliating skin anywhere else causes irritation, can leave it more sensitive and reactive rather than actually healthier.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Matching_Frequency_to_the_Actual_Scalp_Condition\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matching Frequency to the Actual Scalp Condition<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A consistently oily, buildup-prone scalp can generally handle more frequent treatment than a dry, sensitive one can, since the underlying issue being addressed is actually different in each case. Adjusting frequency based on how the scalp actually responds, rather than a fixed schedule copied from someone else&#8217;s routine, produces a far more useful result.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"At-Home_Versus_Professional_Scalp_Treatments\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At-Home Versus Professional Scalp Treatments<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both have a real place, though they&#8217;re not quite interchangeable in what they can actually achieve.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_At-Home_Products_Can_Reasonably_Deliver\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What At-Home Products Can Reasonably Deliver<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A drugstore scalp scrub or a simple massage routine done at home can actually handle basic maintenance, light exfoliation and improved circulation, for a fraction of the cost of a professional appointment.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/blog\/at-home-hair-care-between-appointments\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simple hair care habits between professional appointments<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> follow the same basic logic, small, consistent upkeep rather than a full replacement for the real thing. This works well as regular upkeep between more intensive sessions, rather than a full replacement for professional-grade treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_a_Professional_Treatment_Adds\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What a Professional Treatment Adds<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A professional scalp treatment typically uses stronger, more targeted formulations and proper technique that&#8217;s harder to replicate at home, along with a proper assessment of the specific scalp condition being treated rather than a generic, one-size-fits-all product. This matters most for anyone dealing with a specific, persistent scalp issue rather than general maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recognising_Whether_a_Treatment_Is_Actually_Helping\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recognising Whether a Treatment Is Actually Helping<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A single session rarely tells the whole story, but a few real signs point toward a treatment actually doing its job over time.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/blog\/how-provider-ratings-reviews-work\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Checking a stylist&#8217;s reviews<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for mentions of scalp-specific work beforehand gives a better sense of what to actually expect than a generic star rating alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Real_Improvement_Actually_Looks_Like\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Real Improvement Actually Looks Like<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less visible flaking, reduced oiliness between washes, and a scalp that feels less tight or irritated are all realistic, achievable signs of improvement within a few weeks of consistent care. Dramatic new hair growth within days isn&#8217;t a realistic marker, and expecting it sets up disappointment over an outcome the treatment was never actually going to deliver on that timeline.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_Stop_and_Reassess\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When to Stop and Reassess<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a scalp feels more irritated, itchy, or sensitive after several sessions rather than better, that&#8217;s a real signal to pause and reconsider the specific product or technique being used, rather than pushing through and assuming it needs more time to work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scalp treatment falls under hair treatment more broadly, so mentioning it specifically when booking helps match the appointment to a stylist who actually knows what they&#8217;re doing up there.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/blog\/at-home-hair-services-benefits\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Booking any hair service at home carries its own real advantages<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> beyond just convenience, useful to know regardless of which specific treatment gets booked. Starting with the right person for the job is really the whole trick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/app.getblys.com\/new-booking\/?utm_source=website-blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=do-scalp-treatments-work\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get a Hair Treatment Session at Home \u2192<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_find_a_stylist_whos_actually_good_at_scalp_treatments_specifically\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do I find a stylist who&#8217;s actually good at scalp treatments specifically?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Checking their reviews for mentions of scalp-specific work gives a clearer signal than a generic star rating, since not every hairstylist has the same depth of experience with this particular treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_actual_improvement_from_a_scalp_treatment_look_like\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does actual improvement from a scalp treatment look like?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less visible flaking, reduced oiliness between washes, and a scalp that feels less tight or irritated within a few weeks of consistent care, not dramatic new hair growth within days.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_if_a_scalp_treatment_makes_things_feel_worse_instead_of_better\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if a scalp treatment makes things feel worse instead of better?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s a signal to pause and reconsider the specific product or technique, rather than pushing through and assuming more time will fix it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_simple_hair_care_habits_help_between_professional_scalp_appointments\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What simple hair care habits help between professional scalp appointments?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small, consistent upkeep, gentle exfoliation, regular massage, matches the same basic logic as at-home hair care generally, supporting the scalp without replacing the professional treatment itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_there_real_benefits_to_booking_hair_services_at_home_specifically\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are there real benefits to booking hair services at home specifically?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, beyond just convenience, booking at home carries its own real advantages that apply regardless of which specific hair treatment gets booked.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_at-home_scalp_products_replace_professional_treatments\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can at-home scalp products replace professional treatments?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For basic maintenance, yes, at-home products handle light exfoliation and circulation support well. For a specific, persistent scalp issue, a professional treatment&#8217;s stronger formulations and proper assessment usually matter more.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_a_professional_scalp_treatment_offer_that_at-home_care_doesnt\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does a professional scalp treatment offer that at-home care doesn&#8217;t?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stronger, more targeted formulations, proper technique, and an actual assessment of the specific scalp condition, rather than a generic product applied without knowing what&#8217;s actually being addressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_scalp_treatments_actually_work\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do scalp treatments actually work?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For exfoliation and relaxation, yes, both are well-supported outcomes. Claims about dramatically boosting hair growth rest on thinner, more mixed evidence than the marketing usually implies.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_scalp_scrub\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is a scalp scrub?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A scalp scrub uses a physical or chemical exfoliant to lift away dead skin, product buildup, and excess oil from the scalp, following the same basic principle as facial exfoliation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_a_scalp_exfoliator_actually_do\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does a scalp exfoliator actually do?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It removes built-up dead skin and residue that can clog hair follicles, creating a cleaner surface for hair to grow from, though it isn&#8217;t a guaranteed hair growth stimulant on its own.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_head_spa\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is a head spa?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A head spa is a scalp treatment combining exfoliation, massage, and sometimes specialised tools or products, often marketed as a more elaborate, spa-style experience than a basic scalp scrub.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_scalp_exfoliation_safe_for_everyone\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is scalp exfoliation safe for everyone?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not necessarily. Anyone with active scalp conditions like psoriasis, eczema, or irritation should check with a doctor first, since physical exfoliation can aggravate an already compromised scalp barrier.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_makes_a_Japanese_head_spa_different_from_a_regular_scalp_treatment\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What makes a Japanese head spa different from a regular scalp treatment?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Japanese head spa is usually longer and more ceremonial, often including extended massage time, specialised tools, and sometimes steam, though the underlying exfoliation and massage principles stay similar to simpler treatments.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_dry_scalp_therapy\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is dry scalp therapy?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dry scalp therapy focuses on hydration and calming irritation rather than deep exfoliation, suited to flaky or dry scalp conditions that respond better to gentler, moisture-focused care than an aggressive scrub.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_often_should_you_get_a_scalp_treatment\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How often should you get a scalp treatment?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professional, more intensive treatments generally suit a monthly rhythm, similar to facials, while gentler care like light exfoliation or massage at home can reasonably happen weekly without issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_over-treat_your_scalp\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you over-treat your scalp?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, similar to over-exfoliating skin anywhere else. Over-treating a scalp can leave it more sensitive and irritated rather than actually healthier.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_ingredients_actually_show_up_in_scalp_treatments\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What ingredients actually show up in scalp treatments?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salicylic acid and tea tree oil commonly appear in oil-control formulas, with real antibacterial or exfoliating properties. Hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or plant oils appear more in dry scalp formulas, aimed at calming rather than stripping anything away.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_the_hair_growth_benefit_of_scalp_treatments_proven\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is the hair growth benefit of scalp treatments proven?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not definitively. Some studies suggest scalp massage may modestly support hair thickness through improved circulation, but the evidence is limited and mixed rather than settled science.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_background&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;#faf1eb&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;3%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;3%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_a_Hair_Treatment_Session_at_Home\"><\/span>Get a Hair Treatment Session at Home<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=&#8221;jumbo&#8221; open_new_tab=&#8221;true&#8221; button_style=&#8221;regular&#8221; button_color_2=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; icon_family=&#8221;none&#8221; text=&#8221;Book Now&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/app.getblys.com\/new-booking\/?utm_source=website-blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=do-scalp-treatments-work&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text] Scalp treatments actually work for exfoliation and relaxation, both&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1919,"featured_media":85997,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_title":"Do Scalp Treatments Actually Work?
