Head massage has been used for centuries in the Indian culture and began as an ancient Indian practice of medicine, called Ayurveda. The goal of Ayurveda is to balance the body, mind and spirit and it is believed that these messages promote the body’s natural healing power.
Indian women began scalp massages long ago to promote healthy hair and this remedy is now used by thousands of women today. These relaxing massages are said to strengthen the root of the hair, improve thickness, encourage growth and so much more — not to mention, it feels amazing!
Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse
