Head and Scalp Tips:

1. It is recommended not to use the palm of your hand when massaging the head or scalp. The palm has a tendency to weaken the hair from its roots and eventually break them.
2. Apply natural or herbal oils to your head and scalp when massaging. The oils are extremely beneficial and provide nutrition to the hair and scalp.
3. Apply hair oil before bedtime and wash it off the next day using a soft or herbal shampoo and conditioner.
4. Avoid your hair being directly exposed to the sun as it may damage its condition.
5. Use wide tooth combs instead of narrow ones. The wide tooth combs will make your hair look thicker and also reduce the chances of tangles and breakage.

A head and scalp massage can be easily done at home by you. In order to get a much sophisticated massage, it is recommended to visit a day spa or a hair salon.
