HAIR’SCARE

The right way to begin hair care is to commence a regular routine of hot oil massage that can do wonders. It not only rejuvenates your lacklustre hair but also invigorates the gray cells within and perks you up to face the world.

Benefits of Hot Oil Massage

A good, hot oil massage from an experienced person relaxes the facial and neck muscles, removes tensions, helps alleviate migraine headaches, decreases dryness of the scalp, controls dandruff and curbs hair fall.

The Paraphernalia

Let’s get our tools and cosmetics ready before we launch into the oil massage routine

How to Apply the Oil?

Apply warm oil by dipping a ball of cotton in it and rubbing it on the scalp. Take close partitions and apply the oil all over the scalp.

Steaming

After applying oil on the scalp do steaming. You can do it at home by wringing a towel in a bowl of hot water and wrapping it around your head for a few seconds. Repeat the procedure for about 5-10 minutes. Steaming opens up the clogged pores of the scalp.

The Rinse

After a good massage wash your hair with a shampoo and rinse thoroughly. Apply conditioner. Use a wide comb to spread the conditioner till the tips of the hair. Wait for five minutes and rinse the hair well, towel dry first and then blow dry with the hair drier.

So that’ the end of your hot oil massage routine. Just glance into the mirror and admire yourself! Wait with bated breath for more info about keeping yourself radiant and smiling all the time. Until then, Ciao!
