1. What are the effects of scalp massage?

Human hair does not have any special biological function, but it plays a very important role in beauty. Scalp massage is a convenient, effective method that is beneficial to hair health and beauty.

Scalp massage is a traditional hair care method that is widely spread among the people. By repeatedly rubbing and massaging the scalp, you can promote blood circulation in the scalp, improve nutrition of hair follicles, promote hair growth, make hair shiny and flexible, prevent hair from graying and falling, and delay aging.

There are many ways to massage your scalp. Here are three of the most commonly used methods.

Method 1:

(1) Spread out the five fingers of your right or left hand and massage your scalp first back and forth, then left and right, and then in all directions. Continue massaging for 5 minutes until your scalp becomes warm. Once a day in the morning and evening, can also be done at any time.

(2) Place your fingers on your scalp, pressing and rotating, massaging each area three times. When moving, push the scalp with your fingers first and then move to another position. Do not slide your fingers on the hair, otherwise the massage effect will be lost.

(3) Press the temples with the thumbs of both hands, open the other fingers, and massage the scalp in a circular motion three times; then press the temples with the index and middle fingers on both sides and massage three times.

(4) Place your hands just above your forehead and gently rub your scalp. Then move your hands along the front hairline and temples, gradually moving backwards to the center of the scalp and massaging for 4 minutes.

Method 2:

(1) Place the fingertips of both hands behind your ears and move them upwards in the smallest possible motion until they reach the top of your head.

(2) Place your fingertips on the hairline in front of your ears and use your fingertips to make circular motions upwards until you reach the top of your head.

(3) Place your fingertips at the back of your head and slowly move upward from the hairline in the center of the top to the top of your head.

(4) Place your entire palm on the back of your head, move from the sides to the area in front of your ears, massage upward to the center of your forehead, and then from front to back to the top of your head.

If your hair is in good condition, massaging once a day for 3 to 5 minutes each time is enough; if the purpose of massage is to promote hair growth, you need to massage once in the morning and evening every day, each time for 8 to 10 minutes.

Method 3:
