Holistic Haircare & Head Massage
Gentle Haircare
SAGE Quintessential tropical sandalwood combs are designed to make everyday hair combing ~luxuriously~ comfortable. Every comb comes aesthetically beautiful – embodying a sacred, natural essence. SAGE Quintessence takes a holistic approach to self-care considering the wholeness of the mind, body, spirit, as well as the environment. Our tropical sandalwood tools yield a quadruple threat – holistic hair and beauty, therapeutic manual massage and mild aromatherapy.
Since ancient times, wooden combs have been the preferred grooming tool. Wooden combs are carbon-based - similarly to skin, hair and scalp - so they cannot conduct electricity and create static damage e.g frizz, splitting and breakage. Wooden combs provide thorough massage without bruising or scraping the scalp and skin. The feel of wood on the head, or bare skin, is soft and soothing. SAGE Quintessential ~signature~ extra-wide comb teeth encourage gentle haircare for all hair types. For further information on whether gentle haircare is suitable for you, see our FAQ page.
Combing helps to clean the surface of the scalp of dirt, dead skin and dandruff. Regular combing may improve hair quality by strengthening hair follicles at the root to produce stronger strands. Massaging the scalp stimulates blood flow and delivers essential nutrients to the follicles – vital for new hair growth. Both dry and oily scalp conditions indicate unhealthy sebum production which may be improved through frequent massage that activates sebaceous glands to create a healthy scalp environment.
SAGE Quintessence looks to our ancient ancestors for wisdom that betters our understanding of our own self-healing abilities. We honor ancient holistic healthcare practices – e.g. traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine - and the healing power of scalp massage. Never has it been so easy to incorporate some of these ancient healthcare practices into your routine with SAGE Quintessential wooden combs.
SHU FA Everyday Combing Therapy (TCM)
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has enlightened us with rich wisdom about the 14 meridian channels that are linked to various organs and help circulate life force (Qi). Since all the meridians have either direct or indirect connections with the scalp, stimulating the scalp, in principle, helps to regulate the meridians throughout the whole body. For more information on Traditional Chinese Medicine and the meridians, visit our Acupressure & Marma Point Therapy page.

Ayurvedic SHIROABHYANGA Therapy
Indian marma point head massage therapy ‘Shiroabhyanga’ is an ancient holistic practice based on the ancient Ayurveda healing system. It aims to rebalance the natural energy of the body. Vital energy points (marmas) over the entire scalp connect to the conscious and subconscious mind. Ayurveda sees our mind as the operational centre of the whole body. For more information on Ayurveda & marmas, visit our Acupressure & Marma Point Therapy page.
In ancient Sanskrit, “shira” means head, and “abhyanga” is a form of self-massage accompanied with warm oils. To detox, move in an anti-clockwise direction, then follow with a clockwise motion to nourish.
