Thick and shiny hair is a symbol of healthy and well-nourished hair and scalp, something Indian moms love. A simple head massage can have various benefits, including nourishing your hair from root to tip and making you feel calmer. Here are some of the head massage benefits that we have listed for you that are useful.
Hair Care
Daily hair care products are laced with harmful chemicals which make your hair dry and brittle. All you need is a good old-fashioned head massage. Applying the oil from the roots to the tips, and gently massaging the scalp can help regulate the oil production on the scalp and lock in moisture. It helps in promoting healthy hair growth. Regular head massages also remove dead skin cells from the scalp, which helps reduce dryness and flaky scalp. It can also help boost circulation to the scalp. This strengthens the hair follicles, and activates dormant follicles as well, which results in stronger and well-nourished hair. Increased blood flow to the scalp also improves the growth cycle of the hair and improves the hair scalp’s health.
Stress Buster
Rough day at work leaving you tired? Heat some coconut oil or almond oil, and add a few drops of peppermint and lavender essential oil. Apply on your fingertips and gently massage onto the scalp. Better yet, get someone else to give you a head massage, and you will notice your mood get better almost instantly. Massaging the scalp increases the production of serotonin- a neurotransmitter responsible for improving mood. Head massage acts as a natural stress buster.
Better Sleep
Trouble sleeping at night? Treat your scalp to a good massage before bedtime. Lightly massage your scalp for about fifteen minutes, applying even pressure on your fingertips. Using a natural oil is optional, however it is recommended if you are feeling too restless and low.
Relieves Headaches
Got a headache that just won’t go away? A scalp massage can relieve headaches and leave you feeling energized. When massaging the head to find relief from headaches, focus on the base of the skull and near the hairline. Massaging the neck and shoulders also helps reduce overall stress and tension. A good head massage thus offers a powerhouse of benefits aimed at the overall wellness of your hair and scalp. Treat yourself to this therapeutic wellness therapy once a week, to see a significant difference in the way your hair feels and behaves.
