Hair Tip #21: Scalp Massaging

Studies have shown that the top of your head is the area that receives the least amount of circulation.A loss of adequate blood flow results in a lack of proper nutrients to strengthen and grow your hair follicles. By massaging your scalp, you increase blood flow and stimulate your scalp.

1. Brush your hair out
2. Dip your fingers in olive oil
