Sitting back and letting someone give you a hair massage is one of those decadent luxuries that everyone should experience at least once. These massages usually encompass the scalp, neck and shoulders – some of the biggest points of stress in your body.
There are several oils that are used in hair massages such as Moroccan oil, almond oil, olive oil and the more generic coconut oil. Different oils are used for different hair types and textures. Whether your hair is frizzy or smooth – an oil massage will be beneficial.
Scalp massages are beneficial because they remove the dead follicles of hair and this enables the growth of new hair. These massages also increase the blood circulation and increase the hair growth. It is essential to massage the oil in with both your hands for maximum effect. It is recommended that you do a hair massage once in two weeks.
Moroccan oil is good for hair that is frizzy, rough, thick and unmanageable; almond oil is perfect for customers with hair fall problems; olive oil is a great booster for dull and damaged hair, especially for hair that has been exposed to a lot of dye and color.
Moroccan Oil: Cuts out the frizz in the hair and makes it soft and manageable. It acts as a de-tangle agent and makes your hair luxurious and easy to handle. In the long run, the usage of this kind of oil reduces the amount of hair fall that a user may experience.
Almond Oil: Famous for its hair strengthening properties. The oil goes straight into the cortex of the hair and is absorbed into the roots of the hair. It is best for hair that is brittle and tends to fall from the length of the hair rather than the roots. Almond oil is used to rejuvenate the hair and stimulate growth.
Olive Oil: Great to use on both skin and hair. With moisturizing properties, it tends to bring a shine to your mane and to your skin in equal proportions. Olive oil is known for improving the texture of your hair. However, it does not strengthen the hair but merely rejuvenates dull and dry hair.
Coconut Oil: Easiest to find and to use, coconut oil is ideal for a soothing D-I-Y hair massage at home. Steam is essential to the process as it opens up the pores and allows for maximum absorbency. For best results, just wrap your hair in a hot towel repeatedly – five or six times should do it, before washing it clean.
