Salam Sejahtera...
A full head healthy hair is indeed the crowning glory of any man or woman, and it is no wonder that we are inundated with hair care products and tips on how to care for the different hair types. But, what about the scalp? We need to be reminded that without healthy scalp, the hair will take on a lacklustre look and feel.
According to experts, a large part of our wellbeing begins from the scalp. The scalp acts as the base for healthy hair. There are thousands of follicles on your head, and each has one hair that grows from it with its own blood supply and sebaceous gland to keep hair protected.. Therefore, balancing the scalp's natural oils promotes healthy hair growth whilst improving blood circulation to all those follicles, which in turn promotes healthy and natural hair growth...
How else can one improve the quality of hair and general wellbeing?
There are many reasons for dry scalp and hair. External factors like climate can contribute to scalp problems. Then, there are your hormones, stress, over-use of chemical-based products, diet and even illness.
All is not lost though. The ancient practice of scalp massage does more than just giving you a head of healthy hair. Scalp massage does more than just giving you a head of healthy hair. Scalp massages are said to improve blood circulation as 70% of our nervous system is in our head. It releases endorphins and serotonin which act as the body's natural pain killers. It is especially effective for headaches, body aches, neurological and mental tension.
So, the next time your hair dresser gives that scalp a massage, remember the benefit is not merely to promote healthier hair, but a scalp massage that alleviates many of the body's imbalances.
