What to Expect from a Scalp Facial

If you’ve never had a scalp facial, you might be wondering: Is this like a regular facial… for my head? Not quite. And yet—it might be exactly what your nervous system, scalp, and hair have been craving.

At Pure Roots by Whitney, a scalp facial isn’t just about surface-level pampering. It’s a gentle, therapeutic experience designed to restore balance, stimulate hair growth, and support your body from the root up.

Let’s walk through what happens during a session—so you can step in feeling calm, confident, and ready to receive.

Before Your Appointment:

We begin by getting to know you.When you book your scalp facial, you’ll fill out a short intake form to share:

• Your current scalp and hair concerns

• Any recent life changes (stress, postpartum, perimenopause)

• What kind of support you're craving—physically and emotionally

No judgment, no rushing. This is a safe space to just be.

During the Session:

Here’s what you can expect in your 60-minute treatment:

1. A Gentle, Detoxifying Cleanse

We start by removing buildup from hair products, excess oil, and dead skin—giving your follicles a fresh start.

2. Steam + Exfoliation

Warm steam opens your pores and follicles, allowing for deeper exfoliation and better nutrient absorption.

3. Lymphatic Scalp Massage

This is where transformation begins. Gentle pressure encourages circulation, soothes the nervous system, and invites your body into a parasympathetic (rest-and-heal) state.

4. Targeted Oils + Serums

Depending on your needs, we’ll use plant-based blends to nourish your scalp—balancing dryness, calming irritation, or stimulating growth.

5. Peaceful Stillness

Quiet, grounding moments are woven throughout. You may feel emotions surface, tension release, or simply a sense of deep calm.

After Your Scalp Facial:

Most women leave feeling:

• Lighter—physically and emotionally

• Deeply relaxed

• More connected to their body

• Hopeful about their hair journey

You’ll also receive custom at-home guidance to keep supporting your scalp in between sessions.

Is This Right for You?

A scalp facial may be exactly what you need if you’re:

• Experiencing hair loss, shedding, or slow growth

• Feeling overwhelmed by products or protocols that don’t work

• Struggling with flakes, dryness, or oil imbalance

• Needing a restorative reset for your mind and body

This is more than a treatment. It’s an invitation to reconnect with your body and support it with care.
