Some of the key takeaways are that Indian head massage helps relieve stress and tension, improves hair and scalp condition, and is based on the ancient Ayurvedic system which aims to promote health, beauty and a long life.

The main objectives of an Indian head massage treatment are relaxation, a sense of wellbeing, and an uplifting feeling. It also aims to improve the condition of the hair and scalp.

Some of the techniques used in Indian head massage include massaging the scalp, neck, shoulders, and face. Pressure is applied using hands, fingers, palms, and elbows on specific Marma points and Chakras.

What you must do


Your evidence should be collected when carrying
out a real job, whether paid or voluntary, and
when dealing with real clients, whether internal or
external to the salon. Simulation is not allowed for
any performance evidence within this unit.

gathered from the observations made by your
assessor, but you may be required to produce
other evidence to support your performance
if your assessor has not been present. This will
involve your assessor observing your performance
on at least three separate occasions, on three
different clients. One massage must include
the use of massage oil and one massage must
exclude the use of oil.

Useful words
Some terms that you will come across in this unit
are explained below.
Alopecia This is the term used for hair loss,
whether it is a small bald patch or total hair loss
over the whole body. It usually results from
shock, trauma, illness or prolonged stress.
Ayurveda A healing system that comes from
a sacred Hindu text, describing how the mind,
body and spirit should be in harmony to improve
the heath and wellbeing of the person.
Chakras Energy centres that do not have
a physical form and are a way of describing
energies and energy flow. They are the focal
points for restoring balance to the body. There
are seven major Chakras Indian head massage
refers to the three higher Chakras.
Coconut oil Derived from coconuts, this is a
light moisturising oil which relieves inflammation.
Fibromyalgia A condition that causes
musculoskeletal pain. Deep massage on the
local area should be avoided.
Hair tugging A scalp technique where the
hair is lifted and pulled at scalp level to
stimulate blood flow.
Marma points Pressure points on the body that
stimulate life force, similar to acupressure. During
Indian head massage you may cover 37 points in
the treatment area.
Mustard oil A popular oil in India, useful during
cold spells due to the hot warming sensation it
creates. It is good for tense, tight muscles and
dryness of the scalp. Not for use on sensitive skin.
Sesame oil Popular in Ayurveda, it has a high
mineral content and so is useful for nourishing
the hair.
Whiplash A condition produced when the
muscles, ligaments, discs or nerves in the neck
region are damaged due to sudden trauma.
Indian head massage can help to relieve pain
and discomfort.
