To look healthy,
not only must your face look healthy but your
hair must also look healthy. For the hair to be

massaging your head regularly, scalp muscles can
be toned and at the same time, blood supply will

Since hair roots cells are sensitive to its
surroundings, a few general tips to follow for
hair care are always use cool water to rinse
your hair, wear a hat when exposed to direct
sunlight, pat your hair with a towel and do not
take too much fad diets. It is a misconception

daily chores.
 The most basic

When you brush your hair, you are are actually
massaging the scalp which leads to the loosening
of the dead skin cells. This process will spread
the natural oils down the shafts to guard them
and enhances scalp circulation and encourage the
growth of hair. It is important that you only
brush your hair when it is dry and when doing
so, always brush back with long and firm
strokes. After that, hang your head upside down
and do the same again by brushing from the nape
of your neck towards the floor. Carry out each
step fifty times and try to use a
flexible-bristled brush to maximize treatment.

When washing your hair,
it is recommended that you use an essential
oil-infused shampoo. Always use the pads of your
fingers to slowly shampoo your scalp and try not
to stroke your hair against your scalp. For
improved circulation, use your nails to scratch
lightly. Among the essential oils used in
shampoo include lavender oil, peppermint oil and
rosemary oil. To fight dandruff, patchouli oil
and tea tree oil is frequently used. Another
favorite hair care therapy is the scented scalp
conditioning rub. Rub a mixture of ylang-ylang
oil, palmarosa oil and jojoba oil to your head
and knead your scalp. Sit back for fifteen
minutes with your hair wrap in a towel.
This scented scalp conditioning rub is known to
relieve anxiety, hydrates your hair and
encourage cell regeneration together with
regulating oil secretion.
Most people would
condition their hair regularly but sometimes the
wrong method is being applied. The correct
method would be to squeeze a spoonful of
conditioner into your palm and carefully and
evenly work it through your hair and make sure
it reaches the ends. After that, rinse your hair
with cool water until the conditioner has been
washed off, then dry your hair slowly and
continue by combing it gently and you should
work in sections. For light conditioning, use
hemp seed oil conditioners. Sometimes, for a
shiny hair, you can use a banana, coconut and
ginger mask. This tropical hair mask will help
in conditioning hair cuticles and boost
circulation which will subsequently lead to a
soft and shiny hair.
