Oman today_ Scalp massage is a relaxing practice that helps reduce stress, tension, and anxiety. Similar to massages for other parts of the body, scalp massage requires a gentler touch. Typically, scalp massage is performed without oil, but if you don’t mind having an oily scalp, you can incorporate oil as well. The scalp and hair are very sensitive, so it is important not to apply excessive pressure during the massage. Use the soft pads of your fingertips and keep your nails trimmed. Research has shown that consistent scalp massage leads to increased hair growth and thickness. Scalp massage directly affects the hair follicles located beneath the scalp. By stretching the follicles, the massage stimulates them and promotes the thickening of hair strands, allowing new hair to grow thicker than the older strands. Additionally, scalp massage improves blood circulation, which further strengthens the hair roots. Another benefit of scalp massage is the regulation of oil secretion. Underneath the scalp, there are hundreds of sebaceous glands responsible for oiling the scalp. Massage stimulates these glands, helping to maintain balanced oil production.
