How do I do a scalp massage and what are the benefits?

Answer

Starting at the front hairline, use your finger tips and make little circles all around the scalp. Proceed with this step all over your scalp. There's no need to be heavy-handed. Massage your scalp for just 5-10 minutes at a time a few days a week or even everyday. When you're done, you should feel a nice tingling sensation all over your scalp. If you're lucky, get your husband or partner to do them for you once in a while. ;)

Massaging the scalp helps keep your hair healthy by stimulating the blood flow, which in turn helps feed the hair follicles and can also promote hair growth. Often it helps to prevent and fight avoidable hair loss, and reestablish the natural development of healthy hair. In addition to all this, it is very relaxing & calming. Try to get in the routine for doing before bedtime, it really helps relax me. I usually do it in the evening while watching television or reading a book. It also helps me to relieve headaches.

You can also massage your scalp when shampooing or conditioning your hair. You don't have to use any products but if you do, make sure you use oils that easily seep into your skin like jojoba or almond oil.
