Ever had someone tell you that you have “growing hands“?
Well the next time you hear someone say you have growing hands…beleive it! We all have growing hands and we don’t even realize it! We’ve all had that shampoo that made us want to just go to sleep right there at the shampoo bowl and some of us have. Don’t worry your secret is safe with me…but getting right to it; if you want to promote hair growth hair stimulation is the key. It’s not the expensive hair products we buy, it’s not the braids and it’s not just plain good luck….its stimulation to scalp that should be done during every shampoo you receive. Hairfinity informed “Scalp stimulation is a very important, yet overlooked, part of hair care. Stimulating circulation in the scalp is achieved simply by massage. This will cause more blood to go to the roots of your hair, delivering nutrients and oxygen where it is needed. This will also cause the follicles to produce hair more quickly. Massage your scalp for at least five minutes a day.”
If your hair is not tingling when you get up from the shampoo bowl then your stylist is doing you a huge injustice! What is hair stimulation? Sadie Bell explains “Scalp stimulation is basically the process of rubbing or massaging the scalp with the intention of increasing blood flow to the area.” As in everything there is a wrong way to stimulate your scalp. “For instance, pulling on the hair can damage the roots and cause strands to fall out. Wearing your hair in a ponytail or under a hat can also damage the follicles and shafts of your hair, resulting in breakage or thinning. A gentle massage of the scalp is really all you need to see improved hair growth. For some, the notion of scalp stimulation might sound silly, but it really is effective and recommended by the University of Maryland Medical Center.” (Bell)
You can now say that you actually do have “growing hands”. So go out and make your follicles excited by giving your scalp a good ole’ massage! Happy Stimulating!
