“Don’t Ignore Me.” Sincerely, Scalp

What is Your Scalp Saying Don’t Ignore Me?

Have you ever had a shampoo where the shampooist only washed your hair, barely touching your scalp? leaving you wondering what the “hey” just happened?

Healthy hair starts at the root. The health of your scaalp directly translates to the health of your hair. In essence, the scaalp has a lot to say when it comes to what your hair reveals.  What is your scalp saying about your hair?

Has your scalp started producing large flakes? You’ve oiled the area, but it returns.

Does the scaalp areas around the front of your face and along your hairline in the back tend to be dry scaling area? Perhaps the area gets sore when you scratch it? 

Is your hairline starting to recede?

Does your scalp feel itchy?

Our bodies are beautifully constructed in that it will give us hints and try to tell us when things are not going right. Is your scaalp trying to tell you something? Maybe the dry flakes are dandruff or maybe there is another issue to be addressed. Whatever the situation, give your scalp equal or more love than your hair.

How to Give Yourself a Scalp Massage

The first step is to decide if you want to use scalp oil. The best oils for a SELF-ADMINISTERED SCALP MASSAGE depend on your needs. First, choose an oil such as olive oil, sweet almond oil, or jojoba oil to use as a base. Then, pick the appropriate essential oils. For example, tea tree and lavender are often used for dandruff, rosemary and peppermint are sometimes used for hair loss, and chamomile and rose are often used if you are experiencing excess dryness. For each tablespoon of base oil you use, add two drops of essential oil. 

The next step to a successful SELF-ADMINISTERED SCALP MASSAGE is to brush your hair. This helps detangle the hair, adds some shine, and loosens any flakes that are attached to the scalp. The best brush to use before you will depend on your hair type. Long, straight hair requires a different brush than short, curly hair. Bend from the waist and brush your hair upside-down. This improves scalp circulation and helps give the hair more body.

To begin the SELF-ADMINISTERED SCALP MASSAGE. Place a small amount of the scalp oil on your fingers. Bend from the waist to allow MORE BLOOD FLOW TO SCALP. Touch the pads of your fingers firmly to the scalp area near your temples. Massage in a circular motion your hairline gradually working your way around the entire scalp. Add more oil to your fingers when necessary.

After you use all the oil, warm a dry towel for a few seconds in the microwave and place it on your head. Let the oil sit for at least ten minutes. Try not to do anything during that time. Just lie down, close your eyes, and listen to relaxing music. This allows the oils to absorb into your hair and scalp to give it added moisture.

When ten minutes are up, you will need to shampoo and condition your hair to wash out the SELF-ADMINISTERED SCALP MASSAGE oil. Gently brush your hair first to release any tangles. When you shampoo, keep in mind that you may need to lather up twice to get rid of all the oil. Follow up with a moisturizing conditioner. If your hair and scalp are extremely dry, leave the oil in overnight and shampoo and condition your hair in the morning.

Try to perform a SELF-ADMINISTERED SCALP MASSAGE once a week. If done regularly, you will notice that your hair is shinier and stronger and has a lot more body. You may want to vary the essential oils as your needs change. Just make sure to do your research. Some essential oils may be harmful and/or cause allergic reactions. Also, certain oils are not to be used if pregnant or nursing.

Dandruff – The Basics

Dandruff and dry scalp can be extremely annoying. Especially when your hair is styled in a way that makes scratching difficult like weaves, wigs, braids, or updos. Dandruff is a common condition of the scalp that causes flakes of skin to appear. It is often accompanied by dryness and itching.

What Causes Dandruff?

Dandruff can be caused by changes in weather, hormones, skin conditions, diets, and even mental stress.

Tips on Removing the Flakes

  1. It is not related to hygiene but washing the hair, and keeping it moisturized can help remove old skin flakes.

  2. Combing or brushing the hair regularly also reduces the risk of dandruff, because it aids in the normal shedding of skin.

  3. Increasing water intake can also help moisturize hair from the inside out. Tea Tree Oil is a natural wonder worker for dry scalp and dandruff due to its anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is effective because it removes dead skin, dirt, fungus and bacteria from the scalp to reveal healthy hair follicles.

  4. Apple cider vinegar is a cost-effective remedy to dandruff removal and does not contain any added chemicals or preservatives that might harm your hair. It is also anti-inflammatory and will help to prevent bacteria and fungal growth and keeps the hair and scalp healthy.

Hair Loss and Dandruff

In most cases, dandruff doesn’t directly cause hair loss. However, the itchiness it causes can lead to scratching. This can injure your hair follicles, leading to some hair loss.

Although some people may think they have danddruff, it can sometimes be product build up. Frequent washes can tackle this issue with no problem.
