For many international travelers visiting Vietnam, a **"Gội Đầu Dưỡng Sinh"** (Vietnamese Herbal Hair Wash & Scalp Therapy) is one of the most surprising and delightful discoveries of their trip. Unlike a standard western quick shampoo, a traditional Vietnamese hair wash is a comprehensive holistic wellness ritual that lasts from 45 to 90 minutes.
If you have been walking around the beautiful lanes of Hoi An all day, here is why a herbal hair wash at Lynn Salon is the ultimate therapy you need to try:
The Power of Freshly Brewed Herbs
We don't use standard bottled shampoos. Our hair wash water is prepared fresh daily, brewing traditional local Vietnamese plants:
- Locust Pods (Bồ Kết): A natural cleanser that has been used by Vietnamese women for centuries to make hair strong, shiny, and prevent hair loss.
- Pomelo Peel (Vỏ Bưởi): High in essential oils that stimulate hair growth and leave a wonderful, refreshing citrus aroma.
- Holy Basil (Hương Nhu) & Lemongrass: Antiseptic herbs that soothe the scalp, reduce itchiness, and deeply relax the nervous system.
- Fresh Ginger: Increases blood circulation to the hair roots and creates a gentle, warming sensation.
More Than Just Hair: Acupressure & Massage
The secret to the deep relaxation of a Vietnamese hair wash lies in scalp massage and acupressure.
Our therapists use precise finger pressure on traditional meridian points across your face, head, neck, shoulders, and upper back. This specialized technique:
- Relieves muscle tension from carrying heavy travel backpacks.
- Increases blood circulation, which helps cure travel fatigue and jet lag.
- Stimulates oxygen flow to the brain, relieving headaches and promoting deep sleep.
