Stimulate Your Growth!

Stimulate Your Growth!

Hey Naturalistas!

Do you want your hair to grow at a rapid speed? I know how it is when you’re transitioning to natural and want your hair to quickly grow so you can chop off those relaxed ends.  Or after you’ve done the big chop and you’re anxiously awaiting your hair to grow so you can rock a twist out. Well instead of buying excessive products that claim to make your hair grow, stick those ten fingers in your beautiful hair for a stimulating scalp massage. I know how much we love massages ladies!

Why Massage Your Scalp?

Scalp stimulation is an important key to great hair care but many times it is over looked. Just by simply using the tips of your fingers you can stimulate blood circulation in the scalp, which will cause blood to flow to the roots of your hair, delivery oxygen and nutrients, allowing the hair follicles to produce hair more quickly. The rubbing motion also, increases relaxation, decreases stress, conditions the scalp and boosts the strength of hair roots. The best part about it ladies, is that it only takes five minutes for a great stimulating scalp massage.

How Do I Massage My Scalp?

First start by using a carrier oil such as coconut oil, grape seed oil, or jojaba oil, these oils promote hair growth and thickness.  You can also add some essential oils to your carrier oils for even more TLC.   You can apply these oils to your fingers or directly to the hair.

Next, start at the front of the head using all ten fingers in a circular motion, working your way around the entire head.

Now concentrate on each section of the scalp (Front, Left Side, Right Side and Back) separately, using the same circular motion as before.

Next place your fingers firmly on your scalp and rub vigorously. Cover the entire scalp in this manner as well. Now you’re all Done!

I massage my scalp daily and have added it to the end of my nightly moisturizing routine. Have fun with it ladies, have your hubby or boyfriend to massage your scalp, I know I do! Wink, Wink!

Happy Journey Curlfriends!

    I haven’t tried it but this is a great way to incorporate hubby into my natural hair routine.

    • Keedy White

       Yes it is! Have fun getting hubby involved!

    I’ve never tried a scalp massage. Or, let me be honest. I’ve tried it before, and I can never seem to do it for more than a minute or so. But I may give it a shot now. It may be useful to try doing it right before I go to bed. I’m sure there are multiple benefits besides hair growth that can come from doing a daily scalp massage.

      When you’re giving yourself a scalp massage a minute seems like 10 minutes. So maybe set a timer while you watch your favorite show.

         Great advice Jenell!

    I need to incorporate more scalp massages into my regimen, I’m just lazy at times. Nice post.

    • Keedy White

       We all get lazy sometimes girl, I’m definitely guilty of that! But when a method works, you have to keep it in your regimen. I’m happy you liked the post!

      Tsk tsk tsk!
      Get the rubbing.

  • lilkunta

    Thank for this info. But I have read that over stimulation /manipulation of hair is bad too. so you feel it is okay to daily massage scalp? Also, what do you reccommend for braided hair? Rub the scalp between the hair?

    • Keedy White

       I’m happy you brought that up! Short daily scalp massages are perfectly healthy for hair care as well as so many other benefits to the body. Massaging your scalp will help the nutrients we deposit into our body get to the roots of the hair quicker, making the roots healthier resulting in stimulating hair growth.

        Wow! I didn’t know that. Good stuff!

    hi everyone! Im transitioning from heat treated hair but have been chemically free since May 2009. I’ve finally decided to leave the kiddie pool and swim into the deep end lol! Basically I’m still trying to figure out my regimen.Can anyone tell me where does this lie in your regimen? so i can have some type of idea.

    I started a regimen of scalp massaging with JBCO, rosemary oil and lavender oil. I warm the oils and then with clean hands I massage. These oils also promote growth. I started doing tis because I had or have a spot that had been thinning. I went to the dr. Yesterday and he said he has seen progress with my hair coming back to thickness. Def would recommend scalp massage to others. Stimulates growth and relieves stress.
