Try this anywhere in Indonesia. A divine treatment called Cream Bath. It is neither creamy nor is it a bath. Instead it is a traditional massage therapy from Indonesia. It is a dough kneader for your head in discrete steps.
1. First they wash your hair.
2. They apply a hair spa product i.e traditional oils, commercial hair spa products (I never knew there is such a thing)
3. Then they go work your head – this is intense, near ecstatically painful head massage. To give you an idea of the horsepower of this massage, imagine your scalp folds lifting off and losing touch with the skull and then plopping down before the masseuse moves to another part. It is divine. Almost druggie.
4. Then they apply the same strong-finger-point and pull-skin technique of massage over your shoulder and back.
5. When you have dozed off, they steam you
6. Wash off the spa product
7. Blow dry and….slink off.
