Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice that uses gentle, hands-on or hands-off techniques to promote relaxation, balance, and healing.
You’ll sit or lie down (fully clothed), and the practitioner will lightly place their hands on or above your body to channel energy to areas that need healing.
Reiki helps promote scalp health and hair growth by reducing stress, improving circulation, and balancing energy flow. A relaxed, stress-free body creates the ideal environment for strong, healthy locs, while increased blood flow nourishes the scalp and hair follicles. Reiki can also relieve tension, dryness, and dandruff, supporting natural oil production and hydration. By clearing energetic blockages, Reiki enhances overall scalp relaxation and self-care, making it a great addition to your loc maintenance routine.

How Do Tuning Fork and Bowl Frequencies Benefit Locs and Scalp Health?
Tuning forks and singing bowls emit healing frequencies that help stimulate circulation, reduce tension, and promote energetic balance in the scalp. The gentle vibrations increase blood flow to the hair follicles, supporting healthy loc growth and scalp nourishment. These frequencies also help release stress, relax the nervous system, and clear energetic blockages, which can improve hydration, reduce dryness, and enhance overall scalp well-being. By incorporating sound healing into your loc care routine, you create a harmonious environment for both your energy and hair to thrive.
