Sar jo tera chakraye…The head massage is not only something that you long for when the world becomes too much. Some experts strongly recommend a good oil massage over a haircut, or another treatment, or deep conditioning masks. Here’s why:
♦ Hair growth: The head massage is said to be more effective for hair growth than a regular trim as it increases flow of oxygen and nutrients to the scalp and the hair follicles, which increases hair growth.
♦ Follicles: It can reactivate dormant hair follicles.
♦ Good sleep: It induces good sleep, which is good for hair repair and growth.
♦ Removes toxins: A head massage leads to better lymphatic drainage, which detoxes the body.
♦ Scalp health: The oil provides nourishment to the scalp, removes dryness and dandruff .
♦ Natural scalp oil: The massage redistributes the natural scalp oil along the rest of the shafts.
♦ Good for headaches: Have a splitting headache? See if someone is around to give you a good Indian home-style head massage. Or if you can, go to the neighbourhood parlour and just ask for a dry hair massage. A good professional head massage will apply pressure on the upper back, arms and shoulders areas to relax stressed and knotted muscles and will then move to the neck, and finally head, removing blockages and ensuring better circulation of the cerebral fluid
and blood.
♦ Good for stress: The renewed flow of oxygen and the relaxation of muscles are mood-enhancers.
♦ Good for energy: Feeling droopy? Get a head massage and see the difference!
