How to Increase Hair Growth with Scalp Massage

A well-performed scalp massage has many benefits, including the ability to increase hair growth by cooling the head, releasing tension, stimulating blood flow and increasing circulation to the hair follicles. Using sesame oil to massage the scalp is also beneficial because it lubricates the scalp and penetrates the hair follicles. Scalp massages can be performed as often as necessary to stimulate and improve hair growth.

Instructions

• 1

  Pour two to four teaspoons of sesame oil onto the fingers of one hand. Rub the oil into the fingers on both hands to prepare for the scalp massage. Try to keep the oil off of the palms, as it will be wasted there. You'll use your fingers, and most specifically your finger tips, to massage the scalp.

• 2

  Start massaging the scalp at the occiput, or the bony ridge at the back of the head, a few inches above your neck. Move the fingers in a circular motion, and slowly move your way up the head to the top of the scalp.

• 3

  Continue moving the fingers in circular and zig-zag motions to massage the entire scalp. Be gentle, not vigorous, but allow your scalp to loosen and move across the skull. This will increase your hair growth by increasing circulation and blood flow to the scalp.

• 4

  Repeat the scalp massage daily to increase hair growth. It can be performed safely as often and for as long as you like. Massage for at least 10 minutes during every session for the best results, although several mini-massages throughout the day will also be helpful.

• 5

  Rinse your hair and scalp thoroughly in warm water to remove all traces of the sesame oil once the scalp massage is complete, and then wash with your normal shampoo and rinse again.
