What if a scalp massage can be stimulating and accelerating hair growth while also giving you the much needed relaxation and unwinding time during the lockdown?
Massaging your scalp has a lot of benefits, more than just relaxing you. A good massage can release happiness hormones and calm down your mind and body. It’s also a good way to curb aches and pains. It promotes better circulation and gets rid of dead skin cells from the surface area.

Scalp massage can help nutrients penetrate the hair follicles and promote moisturization and nourishment. This massage blend is one that will promote better hair growth. So, ready for the recipe?

How to Use the Oil?
Massage your scalp with this oil and let it sit for 25 minutes at least. Wash off with a mild shampoo.
You can also use this as an overnight treatment, instead of a pre-shower treatment.
Take the oil in your fingertips and gently massage your scalp with it. Give a few seconds for each area you cover. The scalp has a lot of acupuncture points and this massage also activates those points.
Concentrate on giving a good but gentle massage to your scalp, working your fingers throughout your scalp. Don’t yank or pull your hair, or get them tangled. Work smaller areas and go in gentle to and fro rubbing motions to avoid getting your hair tangled.
Cover your hair strands with the remaining oil after lavishly applying it all over your scalp and massaging it thoroughly.
Cover it with a warm wet towel, or a shower cap.
Before you wash off, massage once more and then use an herbal hair wash power or mild shampoo to wash off.
Follow it up with gentle conditioning rinses.
