How do you massage your head to stimulate hair growth and blood flow?

thanks!How do you massage your head to stimulate hair growth and blood flow?
1. Start from the forehead hairline along the arteries in the front, side, and back of the head, making small circles with your fingertips (Do not press with your nails)





2. Work your way toward the top of the head as if drawing a circle.





3. Massage your hair/scalp for just ten minutes a day: once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Do not give up after a few days. Make it a habit! You can also massage your scalp when shampooing your hair.





~side note~ People have believed for years that brushing your hair will make it grow when over brushing(like hundreds of times a night) actually can cause thinning hair or hair loss later in life.How do you massage your head to stimulate hair growth and blood flow?
I'm not sure about hair growth. But for blood flow, I massage the place next to my eyes with my middle finger.
brush your hair 100 times every night its been done for centurys this way,, 100 strokes with a natural brissle brush every night before bed
You tap your head with all your fingertips - all over your head. Then, you slap your head with open palms - all over your head. You can also pull on both ears. Work your way all around the ear, squeezing at the top and sides, pulling down and squeezing the lobes. This hits acupressure points for the entire body, including the head. Breath slowly and fully in and out as you do these exercises.
100 strokes a day with a good brush.
brush it with a boar brush and stay on scalp all the way down
I don't think massage stimulates hair growth, if it did there would be no need for all those fake products and surgeries and procedures and what not in the market
I read that the best way is to, in the shower, part your hair and allow water to hit that line which should improve blood flow. I'm sure other types of massages would help (for example using the palms of your fingers) but that can activate the glands that make your hair oily and greasy.... maybe save that technique for the night?





Hope this helps!

Circular motions on the scalp, overlapping each other slightly, this is best done with a conditioner to prevent irritation of the scalp.








Done these in Beautician School it is called scalp treatments!
1.) Scalp Massage





Get yourself a good, stimulating scalp massage oil. My favorite is a natural scalp oil by Jason's Naturals. It can be found in natural food stores, or you may be able to purchase it online. This scalp massage oil helps stimulate circulation of the scalp and remove dead skin and deposits that may get in the way of healthy hair growth and the health of the follicles which actually are the gateway to healthy growth and maintenance.





2.) Every time you wash your hair





be sure to massage the scalp as well. Do not choose shampoos that are drying. Instead choose shampoos that are creamier and contain clarifying ingredients. Look for the words ';scalp health'; or something to that effect on your shampoo formula. This means it contains ingredients that are clarifying to the follicle area and won't leave debris or residue on the scalp.





3.) Avoid wearing your hair up





at all. Even barettes can have an effect on your hair health and groth. Any restrictions on that are a no-no. Tight ponytails especially. Try to keep you hair as free as possible.





4.) Also avoid processing





This means coloring, straightening, perming, highlighting, blowing dry excessively, straight ironing, curling irons and any other high heat or harsh chemical methods of styling the hair. These will just aggravate your condition by further weakening the internal structure and outside bonds of the hair shaft, as well as drying the scalp and irritating it further, making the hair fall out more easily at the root.





5.) There are also some quality hair thickening shampoos and conditioners





that are actually designed for women with naturally thin, limp hair. These types of products are usually heavily fortified with amino acids and proteins, which are great building blocks to healthy, strong and thick hair. Why not use them to your advantage?
