If you want to look your freshest every morning, no matter how hectic your schedule gets, then you need to pay some attention to your hair health. A healthy head of hair is often the first thing people notice about you, but it’s not just about simply washing and brushing. Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp! So, let’s get your hair into the best possible shape with this simple tip.
Start massaging
Central to your scalp health is the scalp massage. While going to a spa daily for a scalp massage is not a realistic or affordable option, you can still bring the spa treatment into your home with the right brush. A well-designed scalp brush will massage the area while you’re brushing your hair, improving scalp health which leads to more vibrant hair growth. You could also massage your scalp when you lather your hair with shampoo, but a good brush is first prize.
How does a scalp massage help your hair?
If you’ve overlooked the importance of your scalp for some time, don’t worry, you’re not alone! Many of us don’t realise how important our scalp health is, but after reading this, you’ll understand why it’s our primary focus for hair health.
The benefits of scalp massage include…
✔️ Stimulating blood circulation which increases blood flow to your hair follicles, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to promote hair growth.
✔️ Improved circulation removes toxins from the scalp which creates a healthy environment for follicles to thrive.
✔️ Removal of excess dirt build-up preventing clogged pores and possible issues like dandruff or folliculitis.
✔️ Enhancing the absorption of nutrients from your hair care products which means more vitamins and minerals to the roots.
✔️ Promoting the growth of your hair strands, encouraging thicker and stronger hair.
✔️ Maintaining a sebum balance by distributing the natural oils produced by the scalp which prevents dryness and breakage.
✔️ Reducing scalp tension which reduces stress levels for better hair health. High stress levels are known to lead to hair loss and thinning.
What brushes help with hair health?
The quickest and easiest way to get your looking fresh and fabulous is simply by using the right brush. Yes, it’s as easy as that!
