Head and Scalp Massage Techniques

The finest indicator of your good health is the lustrous and glowing hair growing on your head. And, since ancient times, hair and scalp massage is used in various cultures as a treatment for hair loss and to grow healthy hair.

According to Ayurveda, maintaining healthy and lustrous hair is an ongoing process, which starts with the nourishment. The best way to nourish your hair topically is to massage your hair and scalp with warm oil mainly infused with beneficial herbs. Scalp massage is not only beneficial for your hair but it will also relax your nervous system and mind.

According to your body and hair type, the massage oil can be modified. According to Ayurveda, there are three types of hair: Vata hair- tangled, tizzy and full of split ends, Pitta hair- straight, and soft but whitens prematurely and Kapha hair- wavy, thick and oily. So, before using any treatment for your hair loss it is better to understand your hair first. Treatment for one type of hair may not be suitable for the other types of hair.
