A winter head massage feels great, so here’s how to do it no matter what oil you use.
• First, don’t let the coldness of the oil chill you on those lazy weekend mornings when you sit in the sun.
• When massaging, be careful not to get your scalp too dirty. Many of the nutrients in the oil will not penetrate the scalp if it builds up in excess.
• Heat the oil in the microwave for 10 seconds or heat it on a low heat on the stove for 30 seconds.
• Dip a cotton ball into a bowl of oil, part your hair, and then press the ball against your scalp to make sure your entire head is covered in oil.
• Massage onto the scalp in circular motions.
• Steam your head or wrap a hot towel around your head to absorb the oil.
• Brush your hair with a detangling comb before washing your hair. Begin untying the knot from the bottom, then work your way up to the crown.
• Wash off the oil after 1.5 hours, then use your regular conditioner and serum.
