Head Massage
Massage is useful for all hair types, except, perhaps, only the fattest, because massaging the scalp stimulates the activity of sebaceous glands. In addition, massage is contraindicated in those cases where a person is seriously ill.
In particular, it is not recommended and even forbidden to do massage, if you have pustular or fungal lesions and severe injury of the scalp, as well, if you are suffering from eczema. Finally, despite the fact that the massage – this is one of the best means of strengthening the hair, it just is contraindicated in patients with chronic hair loss, ie with hair loss. The fact that patients with hair falls out in attachment to them the slightest effort, and therefore, you only accelerate this process. And the reason is that the therapeutic effects of massage, which, incidentally, is not making its presence felt at once, simply not kept pace with those mechanical forces, which is inevitably linked to a massage. Therefore, whatever the appearances, massage is unlikely to save you from baldness, if it has already begun. The only thing it can be useful – is prevention of hair loss. It is not recommended as massage in hypertensive disease. Healing and strengthening of the body based on the stimulation of blood circulation and supply of hair and scalp with oxygen and nutrients. The fact is that after the massage vessels and capillaries are expanding rapidly, resulting in blood cells close to the walls of blood vessels and a close gaps in them. In normal or constricted state of the effect or not, or it is not so considerable, that leads to diminishing returns nutrients and oxygen contained in the blood. Because massage increases the activity of skin and hair staff person, it is especially recommended to those who have dry skin and hair, or is suffering from dry dandruff, as well as those who due to improper treatment and depletion (but not bald!) Abundant hair was falling out. These people need a massage more than most, and they should do it more vigorously. The normal duration of the massage – 10 -15 minutes. Its recommended to wash or during not more than 2 times per week. Massage after washing is possible but not desirable, since this increases the allocation of fat. However, this applies only to those whose hair is oily or prone to fat. The fact is that massage if it is carried out after washing the head, is slightly more efficient due to the greater absorption of medicinal substances that make up the tools that you use. And consequently, here you can experiment: Only experience will help determine what is best for you. Massage should begin with light movements, warm-up head – as if you caress her. At this stage it is necessary to heat the head. Then the pressure force should gradually increase. Check out the massage also need light, gentle strokes of hair. There are four reception perform massage, ie, the four basic movements, which should include any competently executed massage. Movement can be oscillating, circular, pusher, and pumping. We have already pointed out that massage should begin with stroking movements. Such motions should be made without the palms of your hands very strong pressure. It is important that the hands, making a stroking motion, not rubbing the scalp and a minimum degree were moving it. This phase of massage is very important, as light stroking of the muscles of the head and has a soothing effect on the nervous system. Regarding the first point, ie, muscle relaxation, the need for the success of this massage is obvious. However, stroking movements can be deep, ie carried out with a more noticeable pressure. In this case, also should not rub the skin, but move it possible and even necessary. Since these motions do not want to start massage, because the scalp needs to ensure that it thoroughly kneaded and heated up. Vibrating exercise have a vibrational effect on the scalp. Their strength and amplitude may also be different. On the one hand, man, massage, may during the execution of these movements do not take your hands off the skin, providing, thus, her constant and continuous effect.On the other hand, can, as it applied to the skin surface is not very strong staccato strokes, rhythm following one another. Circular movements – is the basis of massage. The palms are bent, fingers are setting up a little. Then put your fingers on the surface of the skin. In this case the thumb is a kind of support, and massage are all the others. There is no need to strive to get your fingers moving with large amplitude, it is better promassirovat one place, and then rearrange your fingers to another place. It is important that the movement was not moving. To avoid rubbing your scalp, you must first flatten it slightly to the skull, and then a slight movement to move away. It is this massage will bring you the most good. Pusher movement serve to soften the skin. Position of the hands when performing this movement the same as for the previous one. The only difference is in the nature of movements. Preferably after each push to move the fingers from one place to another. This can be done either by moving the hands and by varying the distance between the fingers. Good to combine massage with medicinal concoctions, and other nutrients. In this case they are mutually reinforcing. Massage improves the absorption of biologically active substances contained in these formulations, and hence more beneficial. So, before you begin the massage, put on his head that means that you have chosen. Starting a massage is necessary to stimulate circulation. You can suggest two steps. First, this massage neck. … The thumbs of both hands placed on the neck just below the hairline, the other fingers are placed either on the ears or taller them – it all depends on how you prefer. The thumbs must touch each other, or at least be a short distance. From this position you will slowly begin to lead them up, while applying gentle pressure to the skin surface. First thus treated the lower part of the neck, then his hands moved higher on top. Similarly, the process and the surface of the forehead, but in this case in the area of the temples are long fingers, and massage is carried out by others. The second method is intended to drive the blood to the crown through the temporal part. Three or four fingers of one hand (right or left, as you wish) you drive up the blood with the help of slow motion up to the ear. The movement is committed to the right or left side depending on with which hands you start to massage. Stopping the movement should be when your fingers will rise slightly above the ear. Do not hold the fingers of one hand, you repeat the same movement with your other hand on the opposite side of the head, but did not stop the motion when the hand is over the ear, and keep it for as long as the tips of your fingers do not touch the fingertips of the other arm. Then, without releasing the fingers of another hand (the one that began the second movement), you repeat the movement first hand. Need to make sure that the hand slipping from the surface of the head only after the motion stopped the other hand. This procedure should be done several times, first on one side of the head, and then the other. For the main part of the massage can offer such hand movements. First, it is gradual, not very fast massaging heads in the sequence of the front part of the head above the forehead – crown – head – of whiskey. Second, the movement of parting from the crown to the forehead. To do this, you split the hair on the right or left side, and then using light circular motions massiruete scalp of the parting line. Once your hands have come to the forehead, you do the following parting at a distance of 2-5 cm from the previous one and repeat all over again for as long as the way we process the entire skin surface of the parietal and anterior parts of the head. Thirdly, it is kneading the front of the hairy surface of the head using circular movements
posited on her hands. At the same time with one hand you are making a circular motion, and the other at this time supports the head from behind. Fourthly, we can suggest movement, a similar movement, with which you began to massage. The thumbs are put on the back of his head, and the rest – on the ears, or slightly above them. In other words, the initial position is the same. However, the character of motions should be different: the thumbs to make circular motion and gradually move up to the crown.Quoted from the book by DK Butenko, hair and scalp. Care. Treatment. "
