Quick answer
What is an oily scalp detox?
An oily scalp detox is a deep-cleansing scalp treatment that removes excess sebum, sweat and product buildup, unclogs follicles and soothes itchiness, leaving hair lighter and fresher. At Soonsiki Moment Hongdae in Seoul, it starts with a scalp diagnosis, followed by exfoliation, a cooling balancing treatment and massage.

In depth
Oily scalp detox, explained
Why scalps get oily
Humidity, sweat, stress, pollution and heavy styling products can all leave the scalp feeling greasy and congested. Travelers often notice it most after a few days in a new climate.
How the detox works
After a scalp diagnosis to assess oil levels and sensitivity, purifying serums or exfoliating scrubs remove excess oil, then a cooling, balancing formula calms the scalp and a massage boosts circulation. An optional blow-dry finishes the look.
Detox vs. head spa
A detox focuses on cleansing and oil balance; our 8- or 16-step Korean head spa adds a longer relaxation ritual. For targeted scalp formulas, ask about Kérastase Specifique scalp care.
Before color, perm or keratin
A clean, balanced scalp is a good starting point before coloring, a perm or a keratin treatment. Tell us your full plan when you book.
Keeping results at home
Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo after treatment and follow your stylist’s aftercare recommendations for long-term balance.
