BENEFITS OF MESSAGING THE SCALP
By Hannah Kwaw-Yankson on
1. Massaging the scalp and hair with warm oil, preferably infused with hair-friendly herbs, is the best way to nourish the scalp and hair topically.
2. It helps strengthen the roots of the hair and nourishes the hair shafts strengthening current hair.
3. Helps to prevent flakes and dry scalp especially when done with oils.
4. It lubricates the scalp without the use of harsh chemical shampoos.
5. It helps soften and condition the hair making it more manageable.
6. It helps enhance blood circulation in the head and neck area. When the scalp is “tight” from stress, circulation and hair growth are impeded. It helps relax the scalp
7.It helps promote emotional balance because it relaxes the the mind and muscles in the neck area promoting a sound sleep at night.
HOW TO DO A SCALP MASSAGE
Currently, I personally know two ways of massaging the scalp which are by usage of the fingers and a battery-run scalp massage.
For the finger-use way, pour some oil into a bowl and warm the oil and gently pour oil in bits onto the scalp. Using the tips of your fingers, gently rub against the scalp.
