Healthy Hair Growth: ‘Exercise’ Your Scalp with Scalp Massage

 Why is scalp massage important for hair growth? When you increase circulation to your scalp, blood flows freely and allows nutrients to reach your hair follicles, which usually leads to hair growth.

Basic Scalp Massage

• Beginning with the top of your forehead, use your fingertips and gently rub your hairline, forming little circles. Continue the circular massage along the sides toward the back of your head.
• Massage in the small circular motion from the back nape of your neck up to the crown of your head, ending in the front -where you started.
• Only 10 minutes of scalp massage (twice a day) are needed (morning/night) and a daily consistent routine.

Conditioning Massage

• Beat 2 eggs with 2 tablespoons of water. Apply to WET hair. While egg mixture is on your hair, perform the basic circular scalp massage. Leave mixture on for another 10-15 minutes. Rinse hair with lukewarm water, followed by Lustrous Henna Dry Shampoo Powder (made into a paste). Cover hair with plastic cap.  Leave shampoo powder on hair for 5 minutes and rinse out. This will help prevent dandruff and hair loss.
• Soak two tablespoons of fenugreek seeds in water at bedtime. In the morning, grind up the softened seeds into a paste. Apply paste to scalp and hair. Cover with plastic cap for 30 minutes. Rinse out paste. Follow up with Pure Shikakai Powder or Pure Reetha Powder Organic Wash. End with basic scalp massage (above).

Healthy Hair Growth: Exercise Your Soul
(Learn To Relax And De-Stress)
Why is ‘relaxation exercise’ important for hair growth? Undue stress can cause hair loss and stop hair growth, if not eliminated (or at least, controlled). One simple way to reduce stress with breathing exercise. Breathing exercise such as diaphragmatic breathing are extremely beneficial to the body.  Diaphragmatic breathing is not only is a way to reduce stress, which in turn can stop hair loss, but it gives you energy! This type of breathing improves the body’s ability to relax by strengthening the diaphragm and abdominal muscles. It also improves lung function. Try it and you will be able to practice diaphragmatic breathing just about anywhere –even at work. 

Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercise

A common diaphragmatic breathing exercise is as follows:

1. Sit or lie comfortably, with loose garments.
2. Put one hand on your chest and one on your stomach.
3. Slowly inhale through your nose.
4. Exhale through pursed lips to slow down the exhalation and try to slowly release most air out of the body.
5. Repeat previous two steps.
