How to massage scalp for hair growth? - #17745
I have been struggling with slow hair growth for a while and recently read that scalp massage can help improve it. However, I am unsure how to do it properly to get the best results. I have tried massaging my scalp with coconut oil a few times, but I am not sure if I am doing it the right way or if I need to use a specific technique. I have noticed that my hair has been thinning a little, especially near the temples, and my scalp sometimes feels tight. I read that Ayurvedic massage techniques, such as using Bhringraj oil or Brahmi oil, can help stimulate hair follicles and improve circulation. But I want to know exactly how to massage my scalp for hair growth in the most effective way. Should I use my fingertips, or would a scalp massager be better? How much pressure should I apply, and for how long? Also, is it better to massage with oil or on a dry scalp? Some people say massaging with oil overnight gives better results, while others say it can clog hair follicles. What is the best approach? Are there specific Ayurvedic oils or herbal mixtures that work best for hair growth? I have also heard about techniques like tapping or inversion therapy—do these actually help, or is simple massaging enough? Additionally, how often should I massage my scalp? Should it be done daily, or is there a risk of overdoing it and causing more harm than good? I want to make sure I am doing everything correctly to see real results. Please provide the best Ayurvedic recommendations on how to massage the scalp for hair growth and any other tips that might help speed up the process.
