I Got My Scalp Professionally Cleaned 

hello friends!!! a couple of quick disclaimers - i want to note there *are* other contributing factors to dandruff besides just dirty scalp - i think in my case, I just have a lot of buildup, and arisa zeroed in on that in relation to my particular head. so if you have dandruff, you might have a different problem than i did! also - i noticed that some of you guys are skeptical about some of the ingredients of the products & the treatment as a whole - totally fair for you guys to have criticisms about it, i wasn't trying to vouch for every individual ingredient, or for how effective this would be for every body - i personally enjoyed it, and i just thought it would be interesting to know what they say are the active ingredients. i'll be sure to keep your thoughts in mind for next time we make a video in this arena. xoxo, saf ❤

When she said “It’s not that bad” And the scalp lady said “hmm” I momentarily felt the pain of every woman in the world.

OMG!!!! I just woke up to notifications😱😱😱that's crazy Safiya watched my videos????? I'm jumping🤣🤣🤣Hey Safiya, Japan is opening for tourists again. Let me take you to my favorite Head SPAs😍Let me know when you're in Japan, I will give you special SPA tour😅👏

even if any part of this is scam-y, the idea of someone else shampooing and massaging my scalp as i lay down and relax is literally a dream

Not safiya APOLOGIZING for her face SHAPE. Or what angles make her look different😱😵... Girl just do you! We love you, no matter how many chins you have, no matter how many hairs thin on your head, no matter how much or how little makeup you put on! You give us amazing, heartfelt, honest, and comedic content that we all enjoy and love don't over think it.💗💗💗

All these recurring "egg" disclaimers really weren't needed. You looked like a completely normal person who's got their head tilted back. And of course cameras tend to distort our image, too. Don't worry about angles and stuff, you're a human, not a doll, Saf. If someone makes a petty comment about it they're just immature and insecure themselves.

I cannot express how absurdly in favor of Spa Husband I am. Not only does Tyler deserve it, but only good things can come from showing that spa treatments aren't just for women, but for ALL people! Seriously. Mani/pedi, facials, body wraps, skin treatments, massages, hydrotubs, all these things can be incredibly beneficial to ANY man, woman, or other. It's not just a girly girl thing! I've always been here for Safiya's dancing and eyebrow waggles (yes, that is why I am here, specifically). But I find that pampering Tyler pleases me very greatly as well. MOAR PLZ.

"It's the scare and soothe". That's actually an excellent description of how spas and the like sell all these treatments.

Saf's scalp from the before images were normal. She isn't experiencing hair loss at all from those photos. You will notice hair loss when the majority of hair pores only have 1-2 stands of hair. She had a healthy mix of 2-3 and 1-2s. Also most of the time single strand hairs are because of growth, more hair will eventually grow in those pores. In regards to her scalp, yes there a bit of build up, but that's normal and can be tackled with a clarifying shampoo or just cleansing your hair 2-3 times in the shower especially if you only wash your hair a few times a week. Also dandruff is a fungal infection. Which can be indicated my little yellow balls or clumps on the scalp. Most people mistake dandruff to just flakes which is normal. If you do have dandruff you need a treatment shampoo that is normally given by a dermatologist or specialty brand. That shampoo is often pH balancing which will help tackle the fungal infection and keep it at bay whislt keeping your scalp and hair clean and healthy. I wish I could make a video reply to his because I did study how the scalp and hair works and a lot of the information provided to her was a bit misleading. I don't want to discredit the salon, but this "treatment" can be done at home. If anything just changing your routine a little will do wonders for your hair and scalp. I always tell clients to treat your scalp and hair the same way you would treat your face, lashes, and brows. Use a gentle cleansing shampoo 1-2 times depending on hair wash cycle. Condition or use a mask at the end and what ever SMALL amount you have left gently massage onto the scalp just to bring moisture back to you scalp. *Think of your scalp as an extension of your face.* Make sure to thoroughly rinse out all the products and try to wash your hair with cold to luke warm water. Hot water will strip your hair and scalp of all its natural oils leaving your scalp raw, red, and dry. If you must shower hot, do a a few minutes of a cold burst of water to relax the scalp. Post shower you can apply you leave in conditioner to the ends of hair and a little on the scalp and just blow dry or air dry per usual. Of course getting this treatment is nice and done, but at the end of the day speak to a dermatologist if you are concerned with any dandruff or hair loss. Hair loss is contributed to many factors but mostly genetics and hormonal issues. A dirty scalp rarely contributes to hair loss/thinning. Will it stunt hair growth? Possibly, but not stop it all together. Hair loss is mostly based of DNA and genetics. The biggest indicator or hair loss and thinning is concerning amount of hair fall out during showers or your pony tails or buns over time have significantly been getting thinner or lighter.

Safiya apologizing for the angle and lighting and then showing clips of her literally looking absolutely gorgeous there is just no way for this woman to look bad 😍

I hate that Safina feels the need to interrupt the video to just apologize for having a face of a certain shape. Like, you are beautiful but you don't have to be in order to feel like you're making great content! I love you and what you give RU-vid regardless of your "flaws"!

I totally get the criticism, but it seems to me the hair spa is the same as any facial you can get at a spa. They're treatments you can do at home and for much cheaper and its never something you NEED to do or especially spend a lot of money on, BUT you still get results and if you like the luxury and the spa experience then there's nothing wrong with it.

I would love to get this done because it looks relaxing but I can't get over how the woman talks to Safiya. A lot of what she was saying sounded to me like she's trying to make her feel bad or scare her into getting more treatments etc. Also dandruff is not caused from a dirty scalp like she said.

up next on spa husband: we visit a head spa theme park 🛀🏼

I'm 1000% down for the Spusband series! I'd love to see you and Tyler go out and do different spa experiences together. It would be great to see a male doing self-care, too!

While I understand and respect your wanting to disclaim the "boiled egg" look lmao, you're so so beautiful - inside and out. So many of your subs have been here for years and years loving you for your huge personality, your content, your embracing of weird and different, your beauty AND your creativity. Literally no angle could ever make you look any less than inspiring and beautiful to me 💞💞💞

I felt bad for Saf during the first microscope examination because of how bad the expert was making it sound. Being very self conscious about the cleanliness/dirtyness of my body in general I would've cried honestly.

Darling girl, who put into your head that you have to apologize for the shape of your face and how it looks on camera when you're having your hair washed? You look lovely, this treatment looks scrumptious, and I am also here for "Spusband" content.

Please don’t ever feel like you need to apologize for how you look on camera “hard boiled egg Safiya”. You are crazy beautiful and amazing, we all love you so much and don’t care!!! You’re so beautiful inside and out!!!!

If you have hair thinning and dandruff issues, go to a dermatologist. If you want some silky smooth hair and squeaky clean scalp, go to this spa (or another spa where you can also have good time without being shamed ans fearmongered for being human).

I'd definitely watch Spa-husband the series. It'd be an expensive series to make, but oh so relaxing.

I want to live in a world where beautiful women stop apologizing for their faces! there is no need to apologize for an angle change Saifya!!

Tylers childlike joy at getting pampered was precious. We need to include more spa husband content in the future

Hair spa is becoming weirdly popular among young people in Vietnam too, but it's called meditating hair wash. I resisted it at first thinking it's a scam but once I went, I got ADDICTED, I go once maybe twice a month now. Not only we get a wash like in the video, we got neck and shoulder massages and facial too, it is really relaxing. I think it became popular with young people because we are a generation that listen to our mental and physical needs, and promotes self-care. If you got a chance, highly recommend this

I know this woman would’ve horrified by my scalp. As a curly girl I only shampoo my hair like once a week 😅 these scalp cleaning videos genuinely scare me bc I need my precious healthy oils 😭 if they stripped me so bad my hair actually squeaked I’d be in a bad place

I would 100% watch every episode of Spa Husband! Tyler looked like he had such a great time but it's also totally cool to get some more male influence and positivity in the spa and pampering area. It's thought of as such a chick thing and so many of my guy friends would never consider it

I'm with Ty, this would totally send my soul into another dimension. I used to cut my hair at a fancy salon just because the lady who washed it was amazing at head massages

Safiya! We do not care (at all) that you don’t look “your best” from an angle where NO ONE could look good. We know you as intelligent, beautiful, funny, and charming (amongst a million other great qualities). But you are also *a real human being* and we know that too! I know my comment will not make a difference but on the 1% chance you somehow see it: we would still all be into watching your content and loving it just as much, even if you wore zero makeup and never washed your hair.

I would describe Saf as someone who likes to do things. Yes. That is this entire channel.

Sure it’s relaxing but I can’t help but think this is some kind of a scam. Saf’s scalp looked perfectly healthy and clean. The “buildup” is just sebum, perfectly natural. I hate the fearmongering in the initial consultation. You’re perfectly normal saf :)

The processes and techniques she used resembles what many African American women do with their wash days. Very thorough, deep conditioning, etc. Many wash day videos on YT shown the series of products used. Caring for our scalp is important and loved watching a professional service. Thanks Safiya 😍

Did anyone else not notice a damn thing wrong with the lighting or her contoured chin or whatever she mentioned, even after she mentioned it?? Safiya, we don't care about how you look the same way you do! You're gorgeous!

Safiya, you dont need to apologize for your appearance. We dont expect you to look flawless and airbrushed at every angle. You're a person, and we like that about you. It's okay if you're self conscious about these things, but we shouldn't care.

Tyler being so blissed out is such wholesome content. The world being such shit these days, wholesome content is very much appreciated. this video was a joy to watch, Saf you're beautiful at every angle ❤

As another poc I'm really interested in trying this. I generally have my giant afro in protective styles for 2 weeks plus at a time so this would be nice to do since all the protective products do build up significantly. One this that's big in black culture (or used to be) was the sitting together and washing braiding and style of each other's hair that happens within the community. This kinda reminds me of that, in a way.

Even if I am not immediately “interested” or drawn to the title I absolutely LOVE Safiya’s journalism style. I could literally watch her tell me about paint she is watching dry and I would watch it gladly. I never regret watching! :)

I think this is gimmicky, but after saying that, I would love to try this routine because there’s nothing better than a good head massage!

I feel like I would fall asleep during this treatment. I *LOVE* having my hair played with and my scalp massaged.

I completely relate on the whole “I look like an egg” and the self consciousness regarding a double chin. I love how you’re always so open. I feel like we have similar builds and it’s nice to see someone else who has insecurities of the like. I think Saf always looks gorgeous, reminds me to be easier on myself as well. People don’t even see a fraction of the insecurities we see in ourselves.

Am I the only one who thinks Safiya looks really pretty in this video? Like.. even with her little ✨egg moment✨ she has been looking very nice lately ^^ Edit: istg I'm so sick of people going "sHe HaS aLwAyS lOoKeD pReTtY" as if I'm implying she looked bad before =.= take your negative asses and go learn to take a compliment and not take it as backhanded somehow.. please.. I'm begging..

Just a note about the little hairs on top, the thickness can be impacted by the growing cycle. We are constantly shedding and growing hair. The baby hairs growing out haven't advanced to their final thickness that will be at the end of the growing cycle. So yes and no about the thinner hairs. At least that was what my Grandma who was a cosmology instructor in her younger years once told me.

Honestly.. couldn’t tell too much of a difference between the before and after.. I live next to this salon where they charge hundreds of dollars for this type thing… ah.. I don’t know.. even after these type treatments, the body will always ‘do it’s thing’ anyways so just be happy❤❤

After watching this, I went and bought a silicone scalp massager, and I added rubbing plain lotion into my scalp as a first step after wetting my hair in the shower. So I massage the lotion on, rinse, shampoo, massage, rinse, use my dandruff shampoo, massage, rinse, condition everywhere. While conditioner is on, I was and shave and all that fun stuff. My scalp feels better, my hair stays cleaner longer, it's thicker and growing back and is way curlier and less frizzy than it was. I do a 'sailor shower' and only run the water as I need it, because this is 30 minutes easy. But I only do it once a week, because my hair looks and feels cleaner longer, even with a little product in. Thank you. I would never have thought of 'cold cream' on my scalp or that a massage was important without this video.

I’m not too sure about the science behind this but my god, the massage looks heavenly. This is why I love going to the salon, I love when someone washes my hair & massages my scalp.

I would love to hear a dermatologists opinion about this. Nothing wrong with enjoying getting pampered, but it's important to not take advertisement as factual. As far as I know not washing your hair for a few days is better for the scalp than washing it everyday and it's nothing to be disgusted by. So many normal body related things are demonised by the beauty industry to make money and the resulting indoctrination is quite damaging to people's relationships with their bodies and selfworth. A small science based section for those kind of videos would be nice to balance things out. I am, however, absolutely in favour of both of you trying spa treatments for videos as spa spouses, pampering is for everyone to enjoy

I'd be really curious to see what a good clarifying shampoo could do, with the microscope. My instinct is that mechanical cleaning (scrubbing) and a shampoo designed to cut buildup could produce the same results, for much cheaper! To me, the before shots just look like hair that's not been washed for a day or so - of course your scalp will be a bit shiny and oily! The human body tends to look a bit gross under a microscope, and I feel like this treatment is capitalising on that. Not saying that it's not a pleasant, luxurious experience or that it didn't clean your scalp! But just that this might not be the only way to achieve it.

Okay so while I think this lady did a terrific job and there was clearly a bit of build up, the initial consultation seemed very fear mongering. Like a lot of that “build up” just looked like standard sebum on the scalp. I’d love if you went again, if you compared your freshly washed scalp as the before to see if any of their treatments clean deeper than standard shampoo. It ultimately felt like they were convincing you that you had to come back or you’ll lose your hair faster. This video was so good though and loved the ASMR segments. Her attention to detail with the scalp spa was excellent.

WOOAAHH It was so cool to see my video featured here! Safiya thank you, this video was so fascinating to watch as well, I wanna have this treatment done 😍

i find her videos so comforting for some reason and safiya you’re the prettiest “lit from below round orb” 😭

I love that Safiya actually responded to the comments saying they were sceptical that this actually works. Other youtube accounts I've seen usually ignore once it's up idk it was nice to see it being acknowledged.

attempting to make contact with Tyler in a different dimension 🌝

the whole emergency 'come here or you'll lose all your hair' thing definitely felt a bit sketchy and fear-mongering. and the silky hair afterwards was very likely just from the blowout.

Safiya, you have very good skin and hair as well...and even the microscopic view of your scalp before doing the spa was great...I barely saw any issues tbh...and it's normal to have a little. My scalp would look awful with all the dandruff

1. Saf don’t apologize for being a person. 🙄 you are beautiful in every angle. 2. God this made me want to get my scalp cleaned. I can just imagine the relaxing feeling of a scalp massage.

Never thought I’d be shown in a “headspa” video but hey- great content & thanks for the little plug! I hear clean scalps kick ass at AoE2!

I loved the animation in this video! It didn’t go unnoticed! It looked great and i think it helped with explaining things when you were comparing. I look forward to hopefully seeing some more in upcoming videos if it’s something you guys are leaning toward. Props to whoever animated it!

I became so relaxed watching all of the head massaging, scrubbing & rinsing, I'm practically asleep right now. I think I need to watch this every night when I get into bed

Aside from that steamy bag, this is exactly what I've always had done in black hair salons, so I was surprised by this!

These scalp shots fascinate me! 🤣 Twix’s videos are incredible, I can watch them one after the other. Thank you both for popping a clip of my video in there! 🤩

I don't care if it is nonsense or not... I WANT THIS! If I could find someone that I could pay to scratch my head all day I would. It's the only thing in the world that truly relaxes me.

This was so relaxing to watch that I am so tempted to get the treatment! Great that tyler got to experience it too. Cant wait for the next video!

Finding out that @safiya is obsessed with @asmrtwix, who I am also obsessed with it 10/10 RU-vid inception. Love this so much. I need my head in a bag stat.

I wish safiya would record like an hour of her reading something. Her voice calms me down so much and when I have trouble relaxing/winding down, I listen to her talk for a while. (With your eyes closed it’s almost like an educational podcast)

It was cute to see Tyler advocating for himself. Y'all have a great give and take in your relationship. BTW, the end result was fantastic for you both. Healthy and shiny hair.

Just an fyi, if you have thinning hair, it probably IS NOT thinning because you're not washing it enough or using some kind of treatments. It's usually hormones, genes, age or some kind of medical condition/deficiency you have or even manual stress because you're too harsh for your hair. You can go to a head spa for relaxation and treating yourself but don't feel like you NEED this for scalp and hair health. Massages and treatments are ofc beneficial but not mandatory. I know they need to sell this treatment so they get you to come back but I feel like there was a lot of misinformation here. Still enjoyed the video, like every Saf vid.

I loooovvveee the idea of this format! It’s like beginners ASMR with some love for the filming husbands! I am also one of those RU-vid people who got sucked into the world of ASMR beauty and skin treatments and I love the idea of seeing them here and understanding what they are! Good luck I think you are onto a whole new genre of vids!

Literally my favorite content creators ever. This was so fun to watch! 10/10 content.

Would love to hear a dermatologist's perspective on this!

That scalp treatment looked heavenly. It is exactly the thing I never know I needed and now I'm on a mission to find a place that offers it! Saf's hair looked incredible after!!

I love how you explain the treatments it helps me understand the info better thank you 🙏

first, you never have to apologize for your face! my issue with these before and afters is they always do the microscope while the scalp is still wet. id love to see how the scalp looked after the blow dry, as well as to compare it to freshly washed hair with regular shampoo vs this treatment. also im skeptical about some of the claims like that the thinner hair strands are because of build up.

Honestly, how she mentioned that safiyas hair was close to falling out because of the buildup, I feel like that's just a tactic to get her to come back more often out of fear that her hair may fall out without it

MY first time watching this RU-vidr... love the way she talks. Im a listener at heart and it feels like i was hearing my fav story for the first time. More than a little enamored

i love asmr twix so much it’s like my worlds are colliding!!

I was inspired by Safiya to try using a scalp scrub myself except it was at home as I don't believe this salon treatment is available near me. I used some from Amazon and etsy as I personally really love natural/homemade products. I really loved how clean and shiny my scalp was afterwards. I have an oily scalp but it seems to be much less so now. I definitely recommend to try using scalp scrubs to anyone. A hair steamer/mist is also good for non wash days, I've heard that people with curly hair use them to help hydrate and keep hair bouncy.

Agreeing with other commenters in that, I’m not drinking the kool-aid with the fear-mongering. HOWEVER! This looks like a wonderful pamper session and give us more spa husband!!!

Safiya your scalp is fine! You have nice healthy hair! Everyone has some oil, dandruff and even blackheads on their head sometimes. It’s all fine and normal ❤️

I loooove ASMRTwix's videos! They're so amazingly calming and relaxing!

This was a fantastic video all around, Safiya! Thank you guys for awesome content always 😊😊

Like many, many beauty treatments, I think there are definitely "Sure, Jan" elements to this. However, as someone who likes to have their head massaged (and has dandruff due to seborrheic dermatitis), I would love to try this. Will it 'fix' anything? Doubtful and definitely not long term. Will it feel great and relaxing? Highly likely.

Two things - I am SO HAPPY Tyler finally got to have some time in the chair himself, it's been a long time coming. And Safiya, it's fine, good even that you look like an egg. Most of your fans love you cause you're so human and relatable. Everyone looks like an egg from below! If you somehow looked perfectly contoured it would be less relatable and kind of sad, y'know? Instead we're all together in the egg club :)

You're always learning new things and trying to better yourself. That's awesome.

Love your videos! Such personality, you are fun to watch! That head spa looks amazing!!

I love how she always comes up with such insane and entertaining ideas. Love from a small creator:)

Okay, that "buildup" wasn't dirt. It was oil from your scalp called sebum. Sebum is actually good for your hair, it moisturizes it and helps it grow. Heck, channels that focus on kinky hair suggest massaging your scalp to get MORE sebum production and to move it further down the hair shaft. It would be different if you were putting powered foundation over your parts in your wig, used a lot of styling products, or hadn't washed your hair in several months, but you haven't don'e those things, so having that layer of "buildup" is normal and HEALTHY for your scalp and hair

Loved the Tyler bit at the end of the video it really shows you how good the experience is of getting your scalp deep cleaned ❤😂

I have been wanting to do this for years. Thank you for filming and sharing this.

I mean, even if it was just, like, regular shampoo-type stuff, the hour-long scalp massage probably did you good! Plus, it was a fun and nice experience for you, so that's totally worth it.

I clicked so fast! I’ve been using ASMR Twix videos to fall asleep and her scalp cleaning are my favorite.

You dont need to apologize for your appearance! Ur beautiful the way u are!!! Also u are my favorite utuber

You’re beautiful saf As someone w psoriasis on their scalp thank for making this video makes me want my scalp cleaned lol

Tyler's reaction to after he got the treatment done was so cute and funny! After watching this, I really wanna get this done lol. Might just have so buy some scalp products and try it out myself!

While I agree the buildup looked crazy, it’s actually what protects your hair. Stripping your hair of the essential oils and fatty acids it needs to grow keratin can be very damaging. The same way over exfoliating your face can compromise your skin barrier. I’m sure this treatment once every 6-8 months would be good.

I love, so much, that the technitian let you do some prep tasks yourself. That makes your experience so much better. I am SO HERE for Spa Asmr, SAFIYA!

appreciate your being honest and candid. Thank you

As always, another great video. I did feel bad that Saf felt the need to explain her “egg” shaped face during the lay down portion. Hope she knows she is beautiful and doesn’t need to feel self conscious. We love her regardless. ♥️

"someone who likes to do things" is actually a very good description of saf

I'm gonna be honest and say that, this was probably an amazing experience for saf, being able to see how the stress can damage your hair, and that there are ways to keep your hair as healthy as possible, and it was probably really nice to have the scalp massage, safe looks beautiful with or without the "egg-shaped" look, no one's perfect and this just shows it, I'd love to get one of these to see how I can keep my hair healthy and see what I could do differently that will not only help my head but also my mental health cause stress can cause a lot of problems over time so figuring out ways to fix that to make sure your as healthy as possible is nice!! I wish I knew the price of this stuff cause it would be cool if I could experience something like that ^^ keep up the good work Saf!! And I hope Tyler enjoys his husband spa time

I am so glad Tyler got to do it too. You guys actually sold me on trying to find this service in my area

This has vibes of like.. going to the dentist and having to admit that you only flossed that morning, and you usually don’t floss. Then watching them pull out the water pick to clean your teeth and having to suffer while the vacuum tube lady doesn’t do her job, and now you know what clean teeth actually look like
