Promising review: "I've had freckles my whole life, but in more recent years I have been getting age spots and wanted something to help make them go away without any surgery or anything. I have been using this Anua serum for several weeks now and it works! My biggest, darkest spot is taking longer than the others, but I apply it everyday and have seen a huge improvement.

I spent $200 on the viral ‘Japanese head spa' treatment for hair health — but does it actually work?

Social media is a powerful thing. Especially when you're someone who is inclined to buy something, go somewhere, try something, taste something, wear something, JUST because people online said it's good. Hi, it's me. I'm that person. And for months and months I've been ignoring the videos of people trying out those viral Japanese head spa treatments spammed in my feed on TikTok and Instagram. But then I caved. Toyko Headspa — the Japanese treatment that has content creators frothing I noticed a newish salon was offering the viral treatment that so many people have been raving about online, so of course I had to give it a try. Tokyo Headspa offered at Salon Lane in Sydney, Australia boasts an impressive menu for anyone who just wants to bliss out. Each treatment offers different solutions to boost hair and scalp health, reduce stress and 'leave you feeling like you're floating in a dream…' They're not my words, that's what it promises on the website. But think… the super relaxing head massage you get before your haircut at your local hairdresser, but add another WHOLE HOUR to it. It's that — no matter what treatment you get. I schlepped my tired self and neglected mane to the Bondi Junction salon and opted for the Sakuya Hime treatment. The whole treatment goes for one hour and 40 minutes and is said to encourage hair regrowth — and after two kids and a decent amount of postpartum hair loss, I figured I'd lean in to some benefits as well as much-needed relaxation. Japanese head spa treatments have gone viral for supposedly helping hair and scalp health. X/@ I'll forewarn you… the treatment is $194. I know… Once you settle in to your quiet room, the treatment begins with your therapist selecting which scalp serum and shampoo is best for you. Mine chose something moisturizing and off we went. The experience begins with a relaxing head massage using the selected serum, and it's followed up with a shampoo and detoxifying massage to help cleanse and invigorate the scalp. Prepare for the Japanese Waterfall! Another treatment is applied, followed by some hair and scalp brushing before you're then prepared for the warm and nourishing head bath. This is where the viral Japanese waterfall is applied. If you get the targeted content on social media too, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about! When the waterfall was applied, I thought I had gone to heaven. The warm water gently rinses your hair while encouraging a calm relaxation. It worked. I think I fell asleep. The treatment involves a relaxing 'Japanese waterfall' over the client's head. X/@ The treatment ends with another head, shoulder and neck massage and then your hair is dried off to prepare you to continue on with your day with complete zen. I was warned multiple times that the treatment does NOT include any styling, so I got a sense that this is something they really needed their clients to understand. And I did… until I caught a glimpse of my extremely curly and frizzy hair in a mirror while walking back to the lift post treatment. It wasn't pretty. So does this viral beauty treatment live up to the hype? Now, here's where I get really honest… If you're thinking '$194 for a glorified hair wash, YOU'RE CRAZY!' I hear you loud and clear! This is an experience that is completely indulgent, and if you have a mortgage like me, the price tag stings. But there's no doubt this is a treatment that any tired mum would enjoy. It would make a perfect gift for someone who needs some 'me time' and there are other treatments you can choose that are a little more justifiable.

4-Year-Old Gets New 'Robot Arm'—Mom in Tears Over Her Response

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A girl who has spent the first four years of her life learning to manage with just one arm is finally getting her dream come true, as she prepares to get her new prosthetic. Life certainly hasn't been easy for Kaisley Hernandez, 4, who was unexpectedly born with one full arm. On her right side, her upper arm developed, but she doesn't have a forearm. It wasn't caused by amniotic band syndrome, but rather, doctors believe that her arm just stopped developing. Indeed, her mom, Destiny Hernandez, 30, told Newsweek that it came as quite the surprise because "no one knew until she was born." The limb difference didn't show up on any of her scans, so it was only when Kaisley was delivered that doctors announced that "she has a deformity." However, Kaisley, of Lubbock Texas, has refused to let her disability get her down and she has become incredibly resilient in the face of adversity. Kaisley Hernandez, 4, who was born with just part of her arm. Kaisley Hernandez, 4, who was born with just part of her arm. @dessshernandez / TikTok "Kaisley is a beautiful, smart, sassy girl, and we hope the world is kind to her," Destiny said. "We have come across her being bullied, and that was hard to see, but we just tell her that not everyone understands, and some people just aren't kind." She continued: "We encourage Kaisley and let her know that anything is possible. She can do everything she wants, and her family will be 100 percent behind her." Of course, having two arms would make life so much easier, and it turns out that Kaisley is finally getting her wish. In May 2025, the 4-year-old got her "nubby" molded for a brand-new activity prosthetic arm, which is sure to improve her life dramatically. Destiny captured the incredible moment when her daughter got the mold taken and shared the video on TikTok (@dessshernandez). The video has amazed and delighted social media users, leading to more than 13.3 million views and over 1.5 million likes on TikTok at the time of writing. During the appointment, the doctor asked Kaisley who her favorite cartoon character is, and there was only one answer for this Encanto fan: Mirabel. The sheer joy as she told the doctor she'd like Encanto-themed fabric to line her prosthetic left her mom fighting back tears. As the cast was formed around her upper arm, Kaisley was "overwhelmed with emotions." While she did seem nervous, her mom explained that it was just because she couldn't feel her nubby while it was in the mold, and it was such an unknown experience for her to face at such a young age. Thankfully, her mom and brothers were on hand to talk her through it and show her what an exciting opportunity this will be. "She is so excited, and she tells everyone 'I'm getting a robot arm.' For now, we are sticking with the activity arm until she gets older and then she can decide which direction she wants to go—there are so many options to choose from," Destiny said.

The family will return on July 14 for the finishing touches. After sharing Kaisley's journey on social media, Destiny has been amazed by the supportive response. She never imagined the video would go viral, but she's glad so many people can learn about her daughter's experience, and they can cheer her on from across the world. "We just want Kaisley to have confidence, and we let her know that it's okay to ask for help," Destiny told Newsweek. Many social media users were brought to tears by Kaisley's reaction to the prosthetic mold, and the online reaction has generated over 7,000 comments on the viral post so far. One comment reads: "Poor baby, she has the best big brothers." Another TikTok user wrote: "You can see the gravity of it all just weighing on her. She's so little, but she understands it means things will be different." While another commenter added: "Bless her little heart. It must be so overwhelming for her, big change is scary for the best of us. Your family is amazing all being there together supporting her little self." Is there a health issue that's worrying you?
