1 Head Massage for Relaxation
Step 1: Prepare the massage oil
Warm up 15 – 30 ml of coconut or olive oil in the microwave or on a gas stove. Heat it to a comfortable temperature for a relaxing scalp massage.
Step 2: Scalp Massage
Put the oil in your hands and rub them together. Massage your scalp and hair from root to tip for 5 minutes. Scalp massages improve blood circulation and create a sense of comfort and relaxation.
Step 3: Hair Wrap
Dip a clean towel in warm water, squeeze out the excess, and wrap it around your head and hair. Keep the towel on for 5 – 6 minutes. The heat will open up the hair follicles, allowing the oil to penetrate and nourish your hair, leaving it smooth and strong.
Step 4: Rinse
After the hair wrap, wash your hair with warm water and shampoo to cleanse your scalp and hair.
