Here’s the hack: snip them at the root, don’t pluck them.

We know the temptation. One silver strand stands out, and out come the tweezers. But plucking traumatises the follicle, and after a while that can mean the hair grows back thinner, wiry, or not at all in that spot. You can’t pluck your way out of going grey; you can only damage the hair you’d otherwise keep.

So instead of pulling, take small scissors and snip the strand right down at the root. Same instant “gone” effect, zero damage to the follicle.

Leave the follicle alone, and it’ll keep doing its job.
PS without stating the obvious this hack is for the random grey hairs that infiltrate your parting not the solid grey root, the root spray hack is for that.

That £30 head spa? Honestly please save your money.

When a trend takes off everyone jumps on it, and I get it. A lot of folk see head spas as easy money, just a relaxing wash. Places have popped up all over Scotland, and I’ve already watched loads shut down and sell off their kit, because it isn’t easy. It can wreck your body if you don’t look after yourself, and people underestimate how much upkeep these machines need. I’ve got three machines, only one ever in use, but I keep backups so we never fall behind on hygiene or safety (Mr.HQ strips them regularly to deeply clean every single part.)

Some folk have probably assumed I’m just cashing in too. I’m not, I’m fully invested in this I was already collecting qualifications before these treatments came on the the scene. Scalp care, nervous system regulation, burnout recovery, and walking people through their scalp and hair journeys properly.

Here’s the harder bit. I’ve seen the panic in group chats. People knotting clients’ hair, using the wrong products, stripping colour, asking what they should be using whilst in treatments. Clients walking out worse than they came in. Those are alarm bells, and they come down to a real lack of training. It’s no surprise when there are so called trainers claiming to be CPD registered who are charging full whack for a Mickey Mouse certificate, if qualified they are teaching a treatment they’ve barely done themselves. A course can’t give you passion, or the hours of research and experience behind it.

I keep hearing “oh I had one once, it was alright” and that upsets me if it was only alright, you had a bad one. A proper treatment is time carved out just for you, your scalp actually assessed, the right products, your nervous system finally switching off. A good one is something you crave. I’ve got clients who think about theirs daily. That’s how you know you’re in safe hands, and that’s what I want for you.

There are several brilliant places in Scotland, so if you can’t get in with me, drop me a message and I’ll point you to someone who genuinely cares.

Do yourself a favour. Spend your money on the real thing, not the trend as a car

There is something quite cleansing about the start of a new month.. but also can come a pressure to restart those goals again.. so this is your reminder to just inhale and exhale.. and be a bit gentler on yourself you are doing your best! 🤍

At Head HQ the men’s head spa is a bit different.

We start with a scalp analysis, just to actually see what’s going on and have a quick chat about anything you’ve been dealing with. Tight neck, headaches, stress, dry or oily scalp, or just that feeling of being a bit run down.

Then we get to work on it. All the stuff that builds up when you just get on with life and don’t really stop to deal with it.

Every man who’s been in has said the same thing after. They didn’t realise how much they needed it until they felt it and we’ve had quite a few return visitors

Nothing overcomplicated. You come in, we sort what we can, and you leave feeling better than when you arrived.

Why reviews are important…

When somethings new, everyone is keen to jump on the bandwagon but consistent reviews over the last year and a bit show something else, that we have consistent high standards and passion about your client journey.

The part that people find most interesting is just how much they learn about their hair and scalp and how to care for it in a manageable way, no preaching hair habits here we listen to your current hair routine or lack of and suggest tweaks to help.

Thats why clients keep coming back and genuinely feel like friends 🩷

Psoriasis 🤍

This one is close to my heart and one of the reasons I went so deep into scalp health in the first place.

Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition where the immune system sends skin cell turnover into overdrive, we’re talking every 3 to 5 days instead of 28 to 30. The skin can’t keep up and that’s where the buildup, tightness and relentless itch comes from. It’s not a hygiene issue or contagious, and there’s no cure. But it can be managed.

I have scalp and trichology qualifications but becoming a registered trichologist isn’t my goal because I don’t believe in the treatment protocols that come with it. I’ve spent more hours than I can count going down rabbit holes, research, ingredients, stress response, medical, holistic. This condition opened up a can of worms for me and my family.

What you’re seeing is just a few layers of buildup gently removed. Nothing aggressive. With psoriasis knowing when to stop is just as important as knowing what to do. It’s also helpful to differentiate between healthy skin and get rid of that build up as it can often feel like the whole scalp is covered and that’s rarely the case.

Less flaking and tightness means a little more comfort. And here’s the thing, just having a reprieve from itching 24/7 lowers your bodies stress response, and stress is one of the biggest triggers for flares. Giving the body even a small break can have a bigger knock on effect than you’d think. Not rocket science 🤍

I’d love enough time to do everything I need to do…
then pause life for a bit so I can do everything I actually want to do.

Also, if the universe could make it possible to stay up late, get 8 hours sleep, then somehow still be a 5am riser with an exercise habit stacked into my miracle morning routine and feel like a champ by 7am while also lying in bed resting and reading all day doing absolutely nothing…

and still somehow being productive and not feel guilty…

that’d be great.

Thanks 🙏🏻

Who else has loved the sunny weather recently but felt their hair has struggled??.. we are all for SPF and looking after our skin but forget our scalp ages 6 times faster.

Our hair has only just survived being dehydrated within an inch of its life with the Scottish winter and central heating in full pelt.. now we’ve just cremated in it our little heatwave.

It’s time you give it a chance to reset at Head HQ. This isn’t something a hair mask is going to sort, you need to get rid of the build up first so the hydration can actually reach the hair cuticle before you even try to add moisture and we can give you hints and tricks to look after it better.

When you know better you can do better 🤍

Scottish people in the sun…. It’s 3 days in the complainer’s are wanting the rain 🤷🏻‍♀️

Meanwhile we are melting, heated beds, steamers, warm towels, massage, hair drying all making us consider our career choices 😅🥵

Just kidding fans under the bed, new AC unit too to keep it cool between sessions so we have sorted the exact temp to keep you comfortably relaxed and us not end up on a blob on the floor 😅
