Korean salons often offer scalp scaling (두피 스케일링). It is a deep cleansing service for the scalp, and a simple way to feel fresh again in the middle of a trip.
What it is: a slow, careful cleanse that lifts oil, sweat and product build-up from the roots, the spots a quick hotel shower can easily miss.
Why on a trip: dry cabin air, sunscreen, sweat and styling spray pile up day by day. After a few days, roots can start to feel flat and heavy.
How it usually goes: a close look at your scalp first, then a cleansing product on the roots, a long warm rinse and a calm massage. Exact steps depend on the salon menu.
Afterward: roots feel light and clean, and your head feels cool and refreshed. Fresh roots can also make blow-drying feel easier.
Good to know: tell your stylist if your scalp feels sensitive, and dry your roots all the way after each wash. Scalp scaling is a cleansing service, not a medical treatment, so please see a doctor for itching, redness or pain.
A note from our stylists: skip heavy oil and hair spray the night before your visit. That way the cleanse can spend its time on your scalp, not on yesterday's product.
