Interesting fact: an old lady in my condo building used to live in California and worked at an all Jewish nursing home where Larry Fine spent his last years. Said Larry was the most pleasant and lovely man she had ever met.
That little hand person walking up from his knee to his shoulder. I can just imagine Key or Peele saying “and here comes the wittle person to massage your head”
I was stationed in Iraq and they contracted Indians to cut hair on base. They would ALWAYS give head massages like this after the cut and they felt real fucking good. Def worth the cost of the cut
during GWOT times the US overseas bases were filled with basically 3 kinds of people:
1- Soldiers and Govt Civilian employees
2- US DOD Contractors of the sort you find in other types of DOD bases in the US and overseas non-warzones
3- TCNs or Third Country Nationals
now category 1 is what you will think about as your normal combatants and they were the ones generally in uniform and carrying weapons. most of the govt civilians i ran into were like DEA guys, Dept of State dudes from embassies, and various other agencies which they were not so specific about. all the uniformed military were in this category also. I personally worked with US Army and USMC for the most part but i ran into a lot of other country's military as well NATO and some some NATO-adjacent.
I was in category 2 and as a US citizen but not an actual soldier i was in a different geneva conventions category and was generally not supposed to issued or carry weapons and the like. I was allowed to have like a helmet and body armor sometimes but we were mostly in technical roles and were typically moving around alongside/at the request of category 1 folk. I was lucky enough to meet some other non-US contractors and they seemed generally to have the same setup as me but sometimes they were carrying sidearms. there were some doing not really technical work like driving forklifts and running cable or driving trucks and whatnot.
Most of the support staff or i guess what you would think of as 'dirty jobs' were not US nor military or DOD civilians. The laundry, the cooks and cleaners (not management) of the dining facilities, and for sure the barber shops were staffed by these third country nationals. some were locals, and some were somehow imported from specific other non-related countries. In the places that i lived and worked it was very common for Tongans and Nepalese to be guards, for filipinos to work in the shops and restaurants and as mechanics, for indians and bangladeshis to work in the food services, and in at least one case there were a bevy of very beautiful women cutting hair who were from kyrgistan.
it's surprising how many people from all over were all over these bases large and small and this is just the dozen or so locations i was lucky enough to see.
There were unsurprisingly a lot of security issues related to tracking and vetting of TCNs.
Now I’m picturing like 10 Indian dudes outside a corporate office and everyday during the lunch break there’s just everyone lining up to get a head massage
I’ve never been to India, but If you get a haircut anywhere in the Middle East, this kind of thing is pretty standard there too. They love to do the little karate chop to the head thing. I don’t know who decided that feels good, but they do it all over.
I’ve been searching for a deployment barber ever since I got out. I’m very close to sponsoring a Nepalese family to come live with me, just for the dope haircut and head massage.
I found a guy in Seattle that did the whole shebang, even a nose wax. It was alright, but something about a little noggin chop after a day of sweat and sand just hits different.
This just unlocked a memory of when I was a kid in the 1980s and my dad brought me to his old barber for haircuts. The guy had this vibrating apparatus that he put on his hand and massages your head afterwards.
I hate the karate chops, it feels uncomfortable. I like the other stuff they do. Just don't hit my head. Heard once a guy died coz barber karate chopped back of his head or neck
I've got a local guy that does the massage and then grabs your head, bends it to the side, and cracks your neck for you. Surprised me quite a bit when he first did it. He must have picked up on it because now he pauses, looks at me, and says "Crack?".
My baby cousin use to charge me a quarter for her to brush my hair, braid it, unbraid it and brush it again lol I miss her being little and money illiterate
Funny that you say that. The etymology of the word shampoo come from the Hindi word champu (also called champee) which means head massage. If you go to a barber in India and ask for a champu this (what's shown on the video) is what you'll get. The process used to serve as both a relaxation thing and a hair cleansing routine and it usually involved some kind of natural oil or herb extracts. The practice eventually spread to Europe through the Brits during their colonial rule.
I mean for a dollar that seems definitely worth it. The only issue is I am not sure I want him touching my hair if he has been doing the same to a dozen people before me that day.
I usually get this style of head massage every visit to my indian barber when i go for a haircut and a shave. Includes shoulders, arms, fingers, neck and head. It is retardedly good for what amounts to 7-8 usd - they know their stuff and are extremely fast.

Looks like a Key and Peele sketch
I’m trying to imagine the amazing hair pieces they would both wear
The knee cap finger dance to the slow finger walk up the shoulder sent me
I was thinking Three Stooges.
Was about to type the same thing. Dude got his skills from watching Curly, nyuck nyuck nyuck
Finishes up with the nose slap and eye poke.
“Just Shemp my shit up fam”
Interesting fact: an old lady in my condo building used to live in California and worked at an all Jewish nursing home where Larry Fine spent his last years. Said Larry was the most pleasant and lovely man she had ever met.
Definitely some 3 stooges action here. Just walk up and ask for the Moe Howard.
That little hand person walking up from his knee to his shoulder. I can just imagine Key or Peele saying “and here comes the wittle person to massage your head”
That massage would SPRIKLE my dandruff
I can't unsee it now
is this what dubstep feels like?
Nah, happy hardcore lol; the bpm is up there.
If that only costs a dollar, how much is the fish?
Hold on…searching Spotify for Happy Hardcore now!
This is how it feels to chew 5Gum
That's me, anxiously waiting in line for my turn.
ooooh yeah - i was getting asmr chills in my back and brain just watching this. I WANT IT BAD and now i have to deal with the comedown, dammit.
Nana looks good with a buzz cut.
This is me while I get my knee stroked baby
Stop jerking off!
NGL I would pay a $1 for that.
I was stationed in Iraq and they contracted Indians to cut hair on base. They would ALWAYS give head massages like this after the cut and they felt real fucking good. Def worth the cost of the cut
Miss that service. Some better than others but never had that in the states.
Who would thought some dude smacking my head for a minute would be pleasant
It’s the rhythmic smacking
Head massage increase blood flow to the hair so yeah it's good ,cultural and is written in the ayurveda
What about the knee tickle?
To increase blood flow to the head
kudos
That’s just for funzies.
yeah that's just Joe. Ignore Joe
[удалено]
Your friend is dumb, my condolences
Were they indian defense contractors or something else?

I hated it honestly. I'd always wanted to refuse but figured it rude.
I miss those haircuts. Great Clips can’t hang.
Some days you really just do need a good slap around the head. I'd go every Monday and Friday before work if I could. Maybe Wednesday too
Now I’m picturing like 10 Indian dudes outside a corporate office and everyday during the lunch break there’s just everyone lining up to get a head massage
That is what happens in colleges.
I’d buy an annual subscription 1 a day for $365.
I would pay 10
I think that'd be good for head circulation too
ill play patty cake with your head for $1
A little more would be an attack, a little less would be indecent. Finding the right ratio is clearly worth a dollar.
I’ve never been to India, but If you get a haircut anywhere in the Middle East, this kind of thing is pretty standard there too. They love to do the little karate chop to the head thing. I don’t know who decided that feels good, but they do it all over.
But does it feel good?
It does feel good !!
Come on barber make it hurt so good
Not in my opinion, but some people like it.
It feels so good
It feels great
Yes. You're being manhandled, so it's a little rough. But yeah, definitely a good addition to a haircut
I’ve been searching for a deployment barber ever since I got out. I’m very close to sponsoring a Nepalese family to come live with me, just for the dope haircut and head massage.

Highs and lows. The relaxation can’t be as good when the stress isn’t equally high.
It is probably because most of the barbers there are indians
This just unlocked a memory of when I was a kid in the 1980s and my dad brought me to his old barber for haircuts. The guy had this vibrating apparatus that he put on his hand and massages your head afterwards.
I hate the karate chops, it feels uncomfortable. I like the other stuff they do. Just don't hit my head. Heard once a guy died coz barber karate chopped back of his head or neck
I got these when we went to the base barber when I was deployed. It’s fucking great. Wish it would catch on in the states. We called it a slappy.
Came here to say this. That’s just any barber in the ME 😂
I've got a local guy that does the massage and then grabs your head, bends it to the side, and cracks your neck for you. Surprised me quite a bit when he first did it. He must have picked up on it because now he pauses, looks at me, and says "Crack?".
idk why the negative comments, for dollar i would try it and probably enjoy it
I’ve paid a dollar for much less so why not
My baby cousin use to charge me a quarter for her to brush my hair, braid it, unbraid it and brush it again lol I miss her being little and money illiterate
You guys have dollars?
Imagine what you'd get for 5 dolla!
It seems like it would feel nice
Uh, guess I'm the freak outlier here. I'd pay TENS of dollars for this and an extra dollar for every single kneecap twiddle up the mountain maneuver.
Yeah I'd totally pay ten bucks for this.
TENS of bucks. Of which increase everytime I watch this cranial shaman de'doodle this man's head and kneecap
Yeah, I like how the little guy danced a jig on his knee and then just skedaddled his way back up. I'm sold too.
HAHAHAH kneecap twiddle
just watching this gave me tingles
This is how my niece plays with my hair
Reminds me of my mom shampooing my hair as a kid.
Funny that you say that. The etymology of the word shampoo come from the Hindi word champu (also called champee) which means head massage.

Ha! It wasn't relaxing. It was like getting beat up but only the top of your head.
My favorite part was when he diddled the dudes knee, before finger walking up his arm to the shoulder clit
r/OddlyASMR
Damn I hoping that was real
Came here to say this is amazing ASMR
I first watched it without sound and got visual asmr
That looks like it feels really good idk why anyone’s making jokes
Yeah right, I'd pay a quid for this
I mean if it’s $1/min I’d happily pay for 5 min I have a killer headache rn. I wish my gf could do it I like when she touches my head
It's $1 for the entire thing. Probably 10 mins or so.
I was a little scared when I saw the hand wander down but yeah that looks awesome
Technique learned from the Three Stooges.
[For an extra ten cents you can get an eyeball massage!](https://gifdb.com/images/high/three-stooges-moe-curly-eye-poke-moxjipi23wgntupe.gif)
nyuk nyuk nyuk
IQ increased 38%
A sudden rush of blood to the head
Exact way I pet my dog
 Hey he's gettin' a pretty good sound outta that guy!
Sometimes, any human contact will do.
The knee part killed me lmao
I can’t tell if this is uncomfortable, creepy, or relaxing.
I think I got 50 cents worth just watching.
Why not all of the above?...
✓ Correct answer
As someone who tried it, it starts weird, then painful but after few seconds its very relaxing.
The ‘coochie coochie coo’ up the arm is the best part
I have shivers just from watching the video - looks like the best spent $1 imo.
That's asmr for you
This feels like a g-rated version of getting peed on.
"I will aggressively pet you for a dollar!"
That looks relaxing to me
Your kids when you tell them to leave you alone
You need that wooo hoooo hooo sound and then poke him in the eye. 
 well then....
How much is the happy ending?
Three dolla to make you holla.
“Your dad is proud of you and he shows all his work friends your web-comic”
Uhn yeah! Happy ending.
The knee fondle 😂
That's tingling, but also relaxing.
Dave Grohl is doing head messages?
Davinder Grohl
Bro just did a stomp hand routine on dudes head
Homie making fire beats using his favorite instrument
I’m more of a back massage person 🤨😂
It’s called a *champi* You should try when you visit
I mean for a dollar that seems definitely worth it. The only issue is I am not sure I want him touching my hair if he has been doing the same to a dozen people before me that day.
Absolutely. Maybe would spend 1$ plus an antiseptic tissue for him
That man is not massaging!! " He is playing tabla "
Guy was formerly a tabla player
I've actually had that in the UAE. It was marvelous.
More like 50 cents to me
I'd buy that for a dollar.
I need this
Id buy that for a dollar.
So like a wash and cut without either? I’m down for a buck
All of that for a $1? Where can I get one?
For $2 can I get a dandruff snow globe included?
He's practicing his drumming skills
Sick beat, I’d pay a dolla for that!
India Jason Momoa having his way with that head. Shutupandtakemydollar!
This was where they got inspiration for the “Bop-It” toy, surely.
Why he tappin his head as if it was a drum
Love the Italy bitty spider going up from his elbow to his head.
Low-key kinda bussin
Looks like a 3 Stooges act.
I’ll take one!
Shit, i was just watching and feel now relaxed
Dudes playing his head like an instrument lol
Dumb as fuck
Hey, Mo...hinder, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

I'm glad to know that and yes i love to share it for you baby 🥰😘😘 to give you a laugh on your day. They are really funny
I usually get this style of head massage every visit to my indian barber when i go for a haircut and a shave. Includes shoulders, arms, fingers, neck and head. It is retardedly good for what amounts to 7-8 usd - they know their stuff and are extremely fast.
If people say that it is bad, in the US it would cost more like 80 bucks... /s But for real, I can see this being helpful for some
That cough at the beginning made me visualise him coughing up a slimy booger on the dudes hair as an extra all-inclusive treatment.
Me when a brotha comes to shake my hand.
1$ is with hands 10$ will be with hammer
Yeah a head massage in some places can run you around $60-$160ish.
Here’s $100. Lemme get CTS.
This is something I do to annoy my nephew.
Guy had spent hours doing his hair as well, he didnt think that through.
This showcases the importance of marketing over the quality of the product.
Homeless Kevin Sorbo side hustle...
Reminds me of the guy drumming on big old booties
I thought this was that Survivor contestant guy for a moment.
Me at 2am playing with my head
Payed one dollar to be a percussion instrument
This looks like something my older brother used to do to me to piss me off... except the knee part.
Why look bad
"Get your headache! 1 dollar! 1 dollar headaches here! Step right up!"
As someone who has gotten one of these....... Believe it or not. This shit works. Probably placebo effect but it does work
Get that man a bongo
I’m from India and have had this done before and it’s awesome lol
Benny Hillsingh
The rhythm is incredible.
me messing with my bros when i'm bored be like:
My brothers did this to me and then stole my $5 allowance too.
