You can’t do without a hair massage when you go to the hairdresser? Or even in the shower when you wash your hair?
Hair massages allow you to relax and let yourself be enveloped by a feeling of pure relaxation. In addition to relaxing, they also bring well-being benefits.
THE HAIR MASSAGE
OF HAIR MASSAGES
Hair massages consist of massaging the scalp with the fingertips (without using the nails) and the palms of the hands, applying moderate and firm but comfortable pressure.
A hair massage should start with a period of capillary heating, applying circular pressure all over the scalp, from the front of the head and temples to the back of the neck.
Then, the hair massage should be followed by the sequential application of pinches on the scalp, pressure with the knuckles or palm(s) of the hand(s) and stretching of the scalp skin, including pause periods between different capillary pressure modes.
The increase in daily minutes of massage and in the number of months of adherence to this practice may improve the effects resulting from scalp massages.
