Hair loss is a common complaint among most men and women.
There are many reasons for hair loss but the common reason is the little blood vessels that are responsible for feeding the hair follicles under their scalps become smaller and thinner.
As a result the hair doesn’t acquire enough oxygen and nutrients that it needs to stay alive.
The outcome is that the hair becomes thinner and starts to fall out.
Include a scalp massage as part of your daily personal care regimen to grow and maintain healthy hair.
How Scalp massage does help? Hair follicles are amazing little hair production factories which thrive on a constant supply of healthy, oxygenated blood delivered by a circulatory system in good working order.
Drawing the nutrients and oxygen needed for new cell creation, these new cells push up through the hair follicle where they eventually die and harden to form new hair.
Scalp massage helps maintain a healthy blood circulation so the hair follicles get what they need. Be aware though that regular scalp massage can increase the amount of sebum produced in the hair follicle.
Sebum is the natural oil produced by the body to protect the hair. If your hair is very oily you may need to decrease the number of times you do a scalp massage.
Scalp massage is particularly effective in increasing blood circulation as well as in stimulating glands and muscles.
As said before there are many reasons for hair loss like certain hormonal changes that also lead to hair loss in women, Genetic problem, Infections, long illness etc.
There are many ways to deal with thinning hair without resorting to hormone replacement therapy.
Often, hair loss can be prevented by carrying out MASSAGE THERAPY on one’s own scalp.
The goal of massage therapy is to increase the blood circulation (flow of blood to hair follicles) and the flexibility of one’s scalp.
This is achieved by using one’s own fingertips to actually rub out the carbon dioxide, oil and dead cells that accumulate on the scalp as debris.
Healthy hair is the result of proper diet and exercise to make sure the body is working well on the inside as well as proper care and attention to the scalp and hair on the outside.
