What are the techniques for a scalp massage to accelerate hair growth? What are the benefits of a hair massage? Find out here about different scalp massage techniques to grow hair and stimulate hair growth. Combating hair loss is a concern for both men and women, whatever their hair type. The massages below are beneficial for all hair types, whether European, mixed or frizzy. By adopting the right gestures for a few minutes a day, head massage will become part of your hair routine and help you to accelerate hair growth.
The right touch... Massaging does not mean rubbing The fingers must not slip, but must remain anchored to the point of the scalp where they were installed. The principle is to slide the skin along the skull and not your fingers along the skin. Make the three movements below in the direction of the blood flow: from the nape of the neck to the forehead, then from the ears to the top of the skull.
Mobilisation massage
Place your fingertips slightly apart on the scalp, press firmly and then move back and forth or in a rotating motion. Then move your fingers and repeat elsewhere. Time: about one minute, to cover the whole head.
Pinch massage
This time, your hands are 2 cm apart and your fingers are close together. Bring the fingers of both hands together to pinch the scalp. Time: about 30 seconds.
Cupping massage
Your hands are one on top of the other, with the one on top completely covering the one underneath. Bringing both palms together in a single movement, apply enough pressure to "suck in" your scalp. Time: about 30 seconds.
Optional hot towel massage
4 extra tips for massaging your scalp
- For more strength in your hands, you can rest your elbows on a table.
- These massages can be performed every day to promote hair vitality.
- Don't do all three while shampooing. This would add nothing to the beauty or health of the hair. Quite the opposite, in fact. Apart from this restriction, you can carry out these movements at any time of day, on wet or dry hair. A complete session takes no more than 2 or 3 minutes.
- And above all, don't panic if, after the first few massages, you notice a very slight hair loss! It's normal and so much the better. This is hair that is already "dead" and was going to fall out anyway. As a result of the massages, hair loss is accelerated, which will stimulate the vigour of the hair that will follow.
