Scalp Care -Treatment that Works Naturally for All Hair Types

Scalp Treatment from Within

One of the most overlooked ways to avoid scalp damage is simple to have a healthy hair maintenance routine. The most important part of healthy hair maintenance starts from inside your body: Eat a balanced diet each day with lots of water aids in growing healthy hair and preventing scalp damage. Get your blood circulating, with fresh green veggies and raw fruit. Don’t forget to include protein-rich foods for scalp treatment that works ‘from the inside out’.

Scalp Treatment with Regular Maintenance

To stimulate the cells and blood flow, a daily basic scalp massage along with a weekly deep scalp massage is absolutely essential. Get in the habit of using this proven stress reducer. Who doesn't love a good scalp massage?

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 a day are needed and a daily consistent routine. (Twice a day is even better).

Weekly Deep 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.

Hot Olive Oil Treatment (HOOT)

Warm up 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in the microwave for around 15 seconds. Pour into the palm of your hand and gently massage it into the hair -from scalp to ends- until complete saturated. Cover with a plastic cap and damp towel. Wait for at least 30 minutes. Rinse out using a mild shampoo like Lustrous Henna® Shampoo Powder. (You don’t really need to use a conditioner, but if you insist, try Imbue™ Natural Conditioner by Saba Botanical of USA.)

Scalp Treatment Recipes

The scalp should be gently cleansed of debris from hair treatments and products at least once monthly. A good natural scalp scrub needs to be applied with a GENTLE touch. Too harsh or heavy-handed of a massage can cause harm to the scalp by simply being too abrasive. So cleanse your hair and scalp naturally with a very gentle touch. This will help your scalp produce healthy hair.

Hair Growth with Healthy Exercise Techniques (Part 1 of 2)

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.

Other great scalp massage oil suggestions and actual photos can be found in an article about scalp massage on WikiHow. (See footnote).*

The Beauty of Amla

To ensure that your hair grows healthy, you must eat a well-balanced diet of healthy foods and follow a good exercise routine. However, to stimulate the cells and blood flow, a daily basic scalp massage along with a weekly deep scalp massage is absolutely essential. Get in the habit and you’ll find that along with the benefits of healthy growing hair, chronic stress will also be reduced. Reduce chronic stress = Reduced hair loss. So let’s start with basic scalp massage.

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.

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.

Hot Oil Hair Massage Therapy

Before going to bed (or anytime you have an extra 6-8 hours to wear a plastic cap), massage hot oil into your scalp (Be careful not to make it too hot-should still be able to touch it without scalding your fingers).  It can be almond, coconut, EEVO (extra-virgin olive oil or any other oil known for promoting healthy hair growth. The only exception might be castor oil, which due to its thickness, is best applied to the scalp and hair roots only.

Cover hair with a plastic cap or wrap and hair bonnet/scarf. (Sleep on a towel to protect pillow from possible leaking). In the morning, (before bathing) mix a little lemon juice and acv (apple cider vinegar) together and apply it to your scalp, dabbing with a soft cloth.  Leave on for about 5 minutes and rinse out.

Dry Scalp Olive Oil Treatment and Recipes

Olive oil for hair is an excellent way to improve dry, damaged hair quickly. First, what should we avoid and why?  

Dry Scalp Hair Treatment One: Avoid “moisture zappers”:

• Excessive heat (blow dryers, flat irons, curling irons, etc.). Try to let hair dry naturally after shampooing or conditioning.
• Excessive brushing.
• Excessive Shampooing and being a “chemical hair product junkie” (using just about any commercial product claiming to help your hair)
• Using chemical hair dye, hair perms, and hair relaxers.
• Change in weather (causing use of heating systems in winter).
• Direct sunlight will also dry hair out, zapping the moisture.

Dry Scalp Hair Treatment Two: Hair Needs Moisture -but What Kind?  

Start with the inside. Hydrating your body helps hydrate your hair. Drink water! At least 64 ounces daily. Add olive oil to your meals and salads and it will increase your skin’s suppleness and boost the shine in your hair.  

Dry Scalp Hair Treatment Three: Deep Condition Your Locks  

Maintain the vibrancy in your hair by deep conditioning and oiling your scalp and roots-REGULARLY. The following hair recipe treatments can be used in-between normal shampooing and conditioning. Moisturize your strands from the roots to tip with a moisturizing conditioner that won’t weigh your hair down. Olive oil is a great source of Vitamin E and Eggs are protein-rich.  

Olive Oil for Hair Recipe 

1: Olive Oil for Hair Mayonnaise Conditioner  

Simply whisk or blend together 1 egg with ½ to 1 cup of olive oil (depending on the length of your hair). After mixing well, pour the conditioner content onto dry hair and cover it with a plastic cap and warm towel; leave it on for at least an hour. For deeper conditioning use gentle low heat from a bonnet dryer for 20-30 minutes. Rinse off with a very mild, nurturing herbal shampoo like, Lustrous Henna® Shampoo Powder. No need to use a conditioner with Lustrous Henna® Shampoo Powder. While still wet, gently comb hair through with a wide-tooth comb (start from hair tips, ending with roots). Let your hair dry naturally.

Olive Oil for Hair Recipe 

2: Hot Olive Oil Treatment (HOOT)  

This is a great conditioner for all hair types. Warm up 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in the microwave for around 15 seconds. Pour into the palm of your hand and gently massage it into the hair -from scalp to ends- until complete saturated. Cover with a plastic cap and damp towel. Wait for at least 30 minutes. Rinse out using a mild shampoo like Lustrous Henna® Shampoo Powder. (You don’t really need to use a conditioner, but if you insist, try Imbue™ Nurturing Conditioner or So Natural™ Moisturizing Conditioner by Saba Botanical of USA.)
