What you need to know
-
The Shakti Headband targets key acupressure points around the sides and back of the head to help you:
• Relieve mild headaches
• Soothe a tight jaw
• Maintain focus and mental clarity
• Ease tension in your face
• Maximize your downtime -
There are two key ways to use your Headband:
1. Across the centre of your forehead to relieve head tension
2. Under your chin with the spikes targeting tension in your jawA light wrap is all you need for each spike to get started. Wear it for at least 15 minutes and let all that tension melt with each breath.
If you already own a Shakti Mat or Pillow, adding your Headband to your practice is a great meditation aid. You can also use it for a deeper savasana, or mental clarity at your WFH space.
Pro tip
• Take the pressure up a notch by wrapping the Headband under the base of your skull and resting your occipital bone on a yoga block.
• Experiment with the intensity once you’re used to the sensation by tightening or loosening the strap
-
Pressing spikes into your face might look like the opposite of relaxing, but the Headband is designed to provide subtle pressure. There will be a slight sensation in the beginning, but that’s completely normal. Acupressure doesn’t work if you can’t feel it.
Circulation will increase and you’ll feel tension “let go” as pressure lifts from your head.
-
Shakti Headbands have Level 1 spikes. Why? Because wrapping spikes is different to lying on them. You can adjust the intensity with compression as opposed to relying on gravity alone. Perfect whether you want to increase the intensity of each spike—or ease off for a therapeutic touch.

You know what it’s like at the end of a busy day when your head is tired. Just pop this beauty on Karate Kid styley and relax, I forget I’m wearing it which makes it interesting when you answer the door!
Well made like all Shakti products!

I already know this is gonna be a migraine saver
- Gillian M.Verified Buyer2 weeks agoRated 3 out of 5 starsworth trying
I suffer headaches that arise from different 'causes'. However it is very clear that when i have a headache triggered by tension when I would normally be performing temporal massage the headband does as good or even better a job - and leaves me hands free !
- Victoria F.Verified Buyer2 weeks agoRated 1 out of 5 starsSimply does not work!
This does not work at all for headaches! The side spikes pull at your hair, pulling hair out, when removing the band. It hurts a LOT to wear too. Personally, I don’t recommend it.
SMShakti Mat USA3 days agoHi Victoria, Thanks for sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear The Headband didn't work for you. For a more comfortable fit, you can try adjusting the length of the Velcro to reduce tightness and pressure. That said, we know it’s not for everyone, and if it’s not the right fit for you, you’re welcome to return it under our 60-day policy.
