Highlights:
A scalp massage is a head massage designed to relax the mind and body and promote blood circulation. Many times, the head and neck can feel tense, so scalp massage can be very effective in reducing stress. Massage the entire scalp with warm oil to relax tight muscles in the temple and neck area.
benefit:
Scalp massage is said to have a variety of benefits, which may include stress relief, reduction of headaches and migraines, and improved blood flow. The increased blood flow helps nourish and strengthen the hair follicles, which may cause hair to grow at a faster rate and help avoid hair loss.
When massaging the scalp, others relax too. This spillover effect may explain why scalp massage is gaining popularity in many spas.
A simple shampoo always involves some kneading and stroking, but many spas today offer treatments specifically for the scalp, even rubbing the scalp into body treatments.
origin:
A traditional scalp massage accompanies an oil-rich scalp treatment to condition tresses and stimulate healthy follicle growth. But today’s massage is more about relieving tension.
You can enjoy a 20-minute oil-free scalp massage while waiting for the moisturizing benefits of the body wrap to kick in. Or your spa might combine a scalp massage with reflexology or facials. Others offer scalp massage with neck and shoulder massage or massage alone – oil optional.
As with any good massage, a scalp massage with tried-and-true techniques can turn a feel-good massage into something more beneficial. Experts recommend massaging with fingertips and palms as well as using acupressure, which involves applying finger pressure to certain points on the head.
Like acupuncture, acupressure works on the principle of energy lines (called meridians) running through the body, and blockages along these lines can cause discomfort, fatigue, and even illness. It is believed that applying pressure to key points along the line will release the blocked energy, thus solving the problem.
To enhance the relaxing effect of the massage, take deep breaths.
Scalp massages are on the menu at many spas as an à la carte service, but it’s also a popular addition to hair and styling treatments.
The Right Tool can Boost the Effect of Scalp Massage!
Ever heard of scalp scraping massage? Many people have heard of facial scraping and body scraping, but there seems to be very little content on scalp scraping. Why? Because there are relatively few tools available for scalp scraping massage.
Less but not entirely means no. Tools suitable for scalp scraping massage need to have the following points:
- Able to pass through the barrier of hair.
- The surface should not be too sharp
- Can cover a larger area
In fact, the shape suitable for scalp scraping is very common – a comb. Not the stick-shaped soft combs that are popular today, but more traditional hard combs made of wood or plastic. The following two jade scraping pads are excellent choices for scalp massage:
Beautiful look, perfect effect. The only downside might be the slightly more expensive price. But it is a very popular scalp scraping tool (maybe it is too eye-catching).
In terms of effect, it may be more effective than a rose quartz comb. Its finer and denser teeth allow for better penetration of the hair’s barrier and a stronger pressing force. (Under the same force, the smaller the contact area, the greater the pressure)
One more thing, it’s much less expensive than a rose quartz comb.
