Massage Your Hair and Scalp to Prevent Hair Loss

Your scalp can also greatly benefit from regular massage. It stimulates blood flow and help feed the hair follicles. 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 extremely relaxing, calming, and helps relieve headaches and migraines.



Massaging the scalp helps keep your hair healthy and can also promote hair growth. Nourishment is sent to the capillary vessels in hair papillae to activate the hair cells. Many hair stylists, while shampooing hair, will give scalp massages.

A few tips before you start: 

Pick the right massage oil
Choosing the right massage oil is extremely important for an effective massage. Choose sesame, olive or almond oil for a scalp massage.
Coconut oil is the best choice for straight hair. Regardless of the massage oil, add 1 or 2 drops of essential oil for better results.

Brush your hair
Always brush your hair before giving a scalp massage. This helps to get rid of flaky parts. If you have long hair, start from the ends of your hair to prevent breakage.

Use circular motions
When administering a massage to your scalp, use circular motions. Put a few drops of oils on your fingers and start the massage near your temples and then move your fingers over to the rest of the scalp.

So how do you massage your hair? 

Just take these 3 simple steps!

1. Start from the forehead hairline along the arteries in the front, side, and back of the head, making small circles with your fingertips

2. Work your way toward the top of the head as if drawing a circle

3. Massage your hair/scalp for about just ten minutes a day: once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Do not give up after a few days. Make it a habit! You can also massage your scalp when shampooing your hair.
