At-Home Head Spa: The Complete Scalp Ritual to Do at Home
The 3-step at-home head spa according to Madame d'Alexis: a complete scalp treatment inspired by the Japanese head spa, formulated with bioactive organic hydrosols made in Brittany.
At-Home Head Spa: The Premium Scalp Ritual You Can Do at Home
Inspired by the Japanese head spa, this protocol transforms your hair care routine into a true skincare experience: a scalp reset, gentle cleansing, massage, overnight root treatment, and length finishing. A sensory experience designed to make you want to take care of your hair without overloading your routine.
- The at-home head spa puts the scalp at the center of the routine, treating it like skin in its own right.
- Le Scrub is the reset step: use it every 10 to 15 days, and it replaces shampoo on that day.
- Le Shampoing is used on other wash days: pH 5, organic hydrosols, cationic hyaluronic acid, prebiotics, and plant-based keratin.
- Le Sérum Nuit is applied in the evening to the scalp and roots only, section by section, with just a few drops.
- For styling preparation or a wedding, Le Masque and Le Sérum Jour complete the ritual on the lengths and ends.

An at-home head spa can also become a pre-styling preparation: softer lengths, a shiny finish, better-controlled frizz, and hair that is easier to work with.
The Madame d’Alexis At-Home Head Spa Protocol
A good protocol does not consist of doing everything every time you wash your hair. It adapts to your needs: an occasional reset, gentle cleansing, an evening root treatment, and then preparing the lengths when a blow-dry or event is approaching.
Scalp Reset
Every 10 to 15 days, apply Le Scrub to the wet scalp. Massage gently with the pads of your fingers, then rinse thoroughly. On that day, Le Scrub replaces shampoo.
Gentle Cleansing on Other Days
On non-scrub days, use Le Shampoing on the scalp. Its pH 5 formula cleanses without sulfates or silicones and combines organic hydrosols, prebiotics, cationic hyaluronic acid, and plant-based keratin.
Evening Root Treatment
Le Sérum Nuit is applied to the scalp and roots only, section by section. A few drops are enough. It does not replace a finishing serum on the lengths.
Lengths Ready to Style
For a blow-dry or wedding preparation, Le Masque is used on the lengths and ends, then Le Sérum Jour provides a shiny, anti-frizz, and heat-protective finish.
Scalp Massage: The Step That Makes the Ritual Truly Sensory
Massage should never feel like rubbing. The proper technique consists of gently moving the skin of the scalp with the pads of your fingers, without using your nails.
Nape
Start at the base of the skull, where tension often accumulates.
Temples
Massage in slow, small circles to release tension on the sides.
Crown
Finish at the vertex with light, even pressure.
Good practice: 3 to 5 minutes are enough. In case of patches, pain, crusting, or persistent irritation, avoid the scrub and seek professional advice.
How Often Should You Do an At-Home Head Spa?
| Profile | Scrub Frequency | Recommended Routine | Avoid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal scalp | Every 10 to 15 days. | Gentle shampoo on other wash days + Le Sérum Nuit if needed. | Exfoliating too often out of habit. |
| Oily or saturated roots | Every 10 days if well tolerated. | Occasional scrub, long rinse, few products on the roots. | Washing with water that is too hot or stripping the scalp. |
| Sensitive scalp | Space out or avoid during active irritation. | Gentle shampoo, slow movements, Le Sérum Nuit if well tolerated. | Scrub on patches, pain, or redness. |
| Wedding or event preparation | A few days before, not the day before if the scalp is sensitive. | Lengths mask + Le Sérum Jour as a finish on the day. | Testing a new ritual on the same day. |

The Mistakes That Sabotage an At-Home Head Spa
- Using Le Scrub every week out of habit when the proper pace is every 10 to 15 days.
- Systematically doing Le Scrub then Le Shampoing on the same day, risking washing the scalp too much.
- Rubbing with your nails instead of massaging with the pads of your fingers.
- Applying Le Sérum Nuit to the lengths when it targets the scalp and roots.
- Applying Le Masque to the roots instead of keeping it on the lengths and ends.
- Testing a complete new ritual the day before a wedding or an important event.
