Benefits of hair massage
July 17, 2009
The secret to having smooth, silky, and healthy hair is to nourish it adequately. One can take cues from the ancient Indian culture that recommends oiling one’s hair regularly.
An oil massage combined with a hot towel wrapped around the head helps to nourish the roots. This in turn leads to healthy hair. The hot towel treatment provides steam that acts as a catalyst, improves blood flow to the roots, and promotes hair growth.
Uses
It has been scientifically proved that a head massage not only helps in hair growth but also to improve circulation and provides relief from stress related ailments.
An oil massage releases endorphins, and improves mood. It increases blood circulation to the head, shoulders, and scalp. It helps to snap the kinks around the neck and provides stress and tension relief.
It is proved to improve mobility and muscle tone, especially in infants. It helps to soothe the nervous system and relax the body and alleviates pain. It aids in relaxing the shoulder and neck muscles and promotes better sleep. This leaves a calming effect on the mind and body.
Techniques
It is important to use light oil for hair massage. This ensures that the oil penetrates the head and skin. Commonly used oils are coconut oil, sesame oil, and olive oil.
Oil has to be applied methodically in sections. Finger rotation, kneading techniques can be use to work on all pressure points. It is essential to apply just the right amount of oil. Application of too much oil will lead to drying later on, due to vigorous shampooing.
Other massage ingredients
In addition to coconut oil, olive oil, and sesame oil, some people also use aromatic oils such as lavender oil to ease away stress and tension and to have a relaxing effect. Others use coconut milk to smoothen hair. Aloe Vera masks may also be applied to have a cooling effect and promote shiny, silky hair.
