About Herbal Hair Wash & Head Massage
Washing your hair is something everyone does every day, but a therapeutic herbal hair wash is another story entirely. Your hair is cared for with a hand-brewed herbal infusion, your scalp is kneaded and pressed point by point along the acupoints, and the tension in your neck and shoulders melts away amid the soft scent of pomelo essential oil.
Sometimes what your body needs most isn’t a rushed nap, but 60 minutes of complete relaxation surrounded by the scent of herbs. That is exactly why the herbal hair wash at Massage Cổ Phong was created: not just to care for your hair, but to help you let go of every pressure you carry.
What Is a Therapeutic Herbal Hair Wash, and How Is It Different from a Regular Wash?
A therapeutic herbal hair wash pairs a thorough cleanse using natural herbs with massage and acupressure on the head, face, neck and shoulders, rooted in the wellness principles of traditional Eastern medicine. The goal isn’t just clean hair: it’s to get qi and blood flowing freely, relax the nervous system and nourish your hair from the roots.
| Criteria | Regular hair wash | Herbal hair wash at Cổ Phong |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | 10–15 min | 60 min |
| Products | Commercial shampoo | Hand-brewed herbal infusion, natural conditioning treatment |
| Technique | Scrubbing to clean | Two washes combined with sequenced acupressure |
| Areas covered | Scalp only | Head, face, neck, shoulders and arms |
| Results | Clean hair | Clean hair, a lighter head, relaxed neck and shoulders, deeper sleep |
The Herbs in Cổ Phong’s Herbal Hair Wash
At Cổ Phong, our herbal wash is brewed by hand from herbs long familiar to Vietnamese people, then kept pleasantly warm at around 35 to 40°C so the nutrients can absorb as well as possible.
| Herb | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Honey locust pods (bồ kết) | Deep cleansing, less dandruff, naturally dark and glossy hair |
| Holy basil | Antibacterial for the scalp, relaxing fragrance, eases headaches |
| Pomelo peel | Stimulates hair growth, reduces hair fall, thickens hair at the roots |
| Fo-ti (hà thủ ô) | Nourishes hair from the roots, helps keep it strong and healthy |
| Lemongrass | Clears excess oil, calms the nerves |
| Ginger | Warms the scalp, boosts blood circulation, helps relieve colds |
Before your wash, your therapist will ask about your scalp and adjust the blend to suit it: lemongrass and green tea for an oily scalp, pomelo peel and fo-ti for heavy hair fall.
The Acupoints Massaged During Your Herbal Hair Wash
| Acupoint | Location | Effect in traditional medicine |
|---|---|---|
| Baihui (GV20) – Bách Hội | Crown of the head, at the midpoint of the line joining the tops of the ears | Calms the mind, eases headaches, sharpens focus |
| Taiyang (EX-HN5) – Thái Dương | The hollows on either side of the temples | Relieves headaches, eye strain and tension |
| Yintang (EX-HN3) – Ấn Đường | Between the eyebrows | Relaxes, reduces stress, helps you fall asleep |
| Fengchi (GB20) – Phong Trì | The hollows at the back of the neck, on either side of the occipital bone | Eases a stiff neck, a heavy head and blurry vision |
| Anmian (EX-HN22) – An Miên | Behind the ear, near the mastoid bone | Supports sleep, eases nervousness |
| Jianjing (GB21) – Kiên Tỉnh | Midpoint of the shoulder | Relieves neck and shoulder aches |
No acupoint is pressed at random: each one needs the right pressure, the right direction and the right breathing rhythm. That’s why, at Cổ Phong, the technique matters just as much as the products. Plenty of people buy expensive shampoos and still see no change in their hair or their sleep, simply because they’re missing this acupressure step.

Why does our herbal hair wash cost more than a wash at the hair salon? The answer lies in 60 minutes instead of 15, in a hand-brewed herbal infusion instead of commercial shampoo, and in hands trained in acupressure rather than hands that simply scrub your hair clean. You’re paying for a therapy, not just a hair wash.
Who Is the Herbal Hair Wash For?
- Anyone who is often stressed, prone to headaches or struggling to sleep, or who never quite sleeps deeply.
- People with heavy hair fall, dandruff or an oily scalp.
- Office workers with neck and shoulder aches from long hours at the computer. For the best results, pair it with our neck & shoulder massage.
- Men with short hair still get the full treatment. For men, the focus shifts to acupressure and neck and shoulder massage, so the relaxing effect is often even more noticeable.
- New mothers in need of gentle recovery and relaxation.
- Older adults looking to improve blood circulation to the head and reduce dizziness.
For lasting results with insomnia or hair loss, we recommend 1 to 2 sessions a week during the first month, then gradually spacing them out as things improve.
Good to Know Before Your Herbal Hair Wash
- If you have an open wound or pustules on your scalp or neck, or a high fever, please postpone your session.
- If you are in your first trimester of pregnancy, please let us know in advance so your therapist can adjust the treatment and avoid certain sensitive acupoints.
- The herbal wash has a natural, woody fragrance that is never overpowering, and there’s no need to rewash with regular shampoo afterward.
- For a few days after your session, go easy on high-heat styling and avoid chemical perms or dyes so the nutrients can work their full effect.
An Authentic Eastern-Style Setting for Your Herbal Hair Wash
The hair wash area at Cổ Phong has been thoughtfully fitted out with cushioned wash beds, a private porcelain basin for every guest and discreet partitions. Warm lighting, soft meditation music and the scent of essential oils create a space where, the moment you lie down, your body switches into rest mode on its own.
- Therapists trained in head acupoints: Precise, steady technique from start to finish, and they always check in and adjust the pressure to how you feel.
- Privacy for men and women alike: Partitioned wash beds, perfect whether you come alone, with friends or as a couple.
- All-inclusive, no tipping: Herbal tea, conditioning treatment, blow-dry and styling are all included.
- Two central branches, open until 10pm: Easy to drop by after work or before an evening out.
Many guests also choose a combo that pairs the herbal hair wash with a full-body massage, so a single visit to Cổ Phong takes care of the whole body.

The 60-Minute Herbal Hair Wash Process at Massage Cổ Phong
We've designed your 60 minutes at Cổ Phong like a gentle piece of music, so you can sink slowly and deeply into relaxation.
-
01
Cleansing and relaxing the face
Before the wash, your face is gently cleansed, then your therapist warms up and soothes your tight neck and shoulders with massage.
-
02
Warming neck and shoulder massage
Your neck and shoulders are kneaded and warmed before the wash, helping blood flow more freely to your head and letting your shoulder muscles relax.
-
03
First herbal wash
Your hair is cleansed of dirt and excess oil with a warm herbal infusion, preparing it for the deeper therapeutic steps to come.
-
04
Deep head acupressure
This is the heart of the treatment. Each acupoint on the scalp is pressed in a careful, methodical sequence to get qi and blood flowing and release built-up nervous tension. Many guests drift off to sleep right at this step.
-
05
Second wash, conditioning treatment and arm massage
The second wash comes with rhythmic scalp massage. While the conditioning treatment works into your hair, your therapist moves on to massage your arms and hands.
-
06
Blow-dry, styling and finishing care
The session ends with a thorough rinse, a blow-dry, neat styling and a mist of nourishing pomelo essential oil. You leave the wash bed with hair lightly scented with herbs, a head that feels wonderfully light and a cup of warm herbal tea in hand.

The Benefits of a Therapeutic Herbal Hair Wash
At Cổ Phong, our hair wash doesn't come out of a plastic bottle. It's a pot of honey locust pods (bồ kết), holy basil and lemongrass, freshly brewed every day to help you release built-up stress and tension.
“Relaxation in every strand — peace in every night’s sleep.”
Opens the head meridians and eases headaches
Skilled acupressure on Baihui (GV20), Taiyang (EX-HN5), Fengchi (GB20) and Anmian (EX-HN22) keeps qi and blood flowing, clearing away that heavy, light-headed feeling after a long workday.
Relaxes the nervous system for deeper sleep
Rhythmic massage movements activate the parasympathetic nervous system and help your body produce serotonin, the 'happy hormone'. People with insomnia or long-term stress often notice a difference from the very first night.
Nourishes hair from the roots, reducing hair fall and dandruff
The herbs cleanse gently without stripping your scalp's natural oils, while massage stimulates the circulation that feeds your hair roots. That's why so many guests choose Cổ Phong to reduce hair loss naturally.
Relieves neck and shoulder aches
Because the session includes massage for the neck, shoulders and arms, the relaxation spreads throughout your upper body.
Sharper focus, clearer mind
Better blood flow to the brain means a clearer head for the next day at work.
Brighter, healthier-looking skin
The facial cleanse and massage leave your skin with a rosy glow and help reduce dark circles caused by lack of sleep.
