What the Thai head spa includes
Holi's Thai head spa (menu name: Holi Thai Luxury Hair Spa) is a relaxation treatment for the head, neck and shoulders built on traditional Thai massage. It runs in five steps — neck and shoulder release, scalp pressure points, traditional hair wash, warm water therapy and a finishing massage — on the principle of "loosen first, wash second". Full details: Thai head therapy at Holi.
- Neck and shoulder releaseThai pressure-point work on the trapezius and the top of the shoulders to take the stiffness out of the upper body first.
- Scalp pressure pointsFinger pressure along the scalp lines, focusing on the crown and the base of the skull, to ease tightness and head heaviness.
- Traditional hair washWarm water and hand technique clean the scalp, water flow and fingertips moving together.
- Warm water therapyA ring of warm water soaks the scalp and the back of the neck for deeper release.
- FinishingThe therapist blow-dries your hair, applies hair oil and closes with Thai massage strokes so you come back to yourself gently.
