Steps to a great SELF-ADMINSTERED SCALP MASSAGE
A SELF-ADMINSTERED SCALP MASSAGE is a great way to enhance hair
health. Scalp massages not only feel good, they enhance hair
health by improving circulation and allowing more blood to flow
to the scalp area. This eventually leads to shinier, healthier
hair.
The first step is to decide if you want to use scalp oil. The
best oils for a SELF-ADMINISTERED SCALP MASSAGE depend on your
needs. First, choose an oil such as olive oil, sweet almond oil,
or jojoba oil to use as a base. Then, pick the appropriate
essential oils. For example, tea tree and lavender are often
used for dandruff, rosemary and peppermint are sometimes used
for hair loss, and chamomile and rose are often used if you are
experiencing excess dryness. For each tablespoon of base oil you
use, add two drops of essential oil. For each tablespoon of base
oil you use, add two drops of essential oil.
The next step to a successful SELF-ADMINISTERED SCALP MASSAGE is
to brush your hair. This helps detangle the hair, adds some
shine, and loosens any flakes that are attached to the scalp.
The best brush to use before your will depend on your hair type.
Long, straight hair requires a different brush than short, curly
hair. Bend from the waist and brush your hair upside-down. This
improves scalp circulation and helps give the hair more body.
To begin the SELF-ADMINSTERED SCALP MASSAGE. Place a small
amount of the scalp oil on your fingers. Bend from the waist to
allow MORE BLOOD FLOW TO SCALP. Touch the pads of your fingers
firmly to the scalp area near your temples. Massage in a
circular motion your hairline gradually working your way around
the entire scalp. Add more oil to your fingers when necessary.
After you use all the oil, warm a dry towel for a few seconds in
the microwave and place it on your head. Let the oil set for at
least ten minutes. Try not to do anything during that time. Just
lie down, close your eyes, and listen to relaxing music. This
allows the oils to absorb into your hair and scalp to give it
added moisture.
When ten minutes are up, you will need to shampoo and condition
your hair to wash out the SELF-ADMINISTERED SCALP MASSAGE oil.
Gently brush your hair first to release any tangles. When you
shampoo, keep in mind that you may need to lather up twice to
get rid of all the oil. Follow up with a moisturizing
conditioner. If your hair and scalp are extremely dry, leave the
oil in overnight and shampoo and condition your hair in the
morning.
Try to perform a SELF-ADMINISTERED SCALP MASSAGE once a week. If
done regularly, you will notice that your hair is shinier and
stronger and has a lot more body. You may want to vary the
essential oils as your needs change. Just make sure to do your
research. Some essential oils may be harmful and/or cause
allergic reactions. Also, certain oils are not to be used if
pregnant or nursing.
