Busy Philipps is no stranger to sharing beauty secrets with the world. Her latest Instagram post has us curious, and even a little envious.
The actress and podcast host recently treated herself to some serious self-care at the Headspa at Mark Ryan Salon, and judging by her glowing review, it was nothing short of transformative.
Head spas are becoming popular in the U.S. after TikTokers share ASMR-like videos of masseuses scrubbing their scalps. The treatment cleans, can stimulate hair growth, strengthens hair follicles, and decreases stress and anxiety. All of these benefits have women flocking to head spas, including Busy.

When it comes to beauty trends, Busy is always ahead of the curve. So it's no surprise she loves a head spa. In recent years, she's embraced everything from pink hair to thoughtful routines for often overlooked areas of the body.

"I started thinking about the fact that I spend so much time, money, and care on the things that I put on the skin on my body. I have different lotions and creams for different parts, and was just treating my vulva like it’s my elbow. Like, what? That's insane!" she explained.

Part of what makes Busy so refreshing is her willingness to admit that her beauty routine wasn't always so thoughtful. In her twenties, her skincare was not her top priority. She used whatever products were trendy, even if they weren't exactly what her skin needed. "My skin was like, 'No, that’s terrible!'" she told Vogue.
These days, she's traded in trendy and harsh products for milky cleansers and nourishing essential oils. It's all part of her journey toward more intentional self-care, something she openly embraces as she grows older.
Of course, Busy's life isn’t just about beauty. She routinely shares photo dumps to Instagram recounting her busy (get it?) life. In her most recent dump, she celebrated Jonthan Van Ness's birthday, contemplated whether she's a "loafers person" now, and summed up parenting with, "How I know I'm just a regular mom: because I [expletive] do this to my poor kids," referencing a TikTok highlighting Gen-X moms.

Whether she's talking about motherhood, recording her podcast Busy Philipps is Doing Her Best, or discussing her latest beauty routines, she’s always real, always relatable, and always a little bit surprising.
This most recent beauty revelation from the Head Spa experience is just another example of how Busy continues to embrace life, beauty, and everything in between with a bit of humor. We can’t see what new trend she tries next.
