• Before massaging, make sure not to tie your hair in a ponytail or a bun behind your head. You should even brush your hair briefly to avoid getting your hands hooked in tangles.

Move your arms in a circle from the front to the back of your head. Continue to move hands from front to back. But this time you will use your fingertips to move in a circle while swiping. Maintain light but stable pressure.

Reverse direction. Move your hands from the back to the front of your head. Repeat the motion in circles and lines. You will start to swipe from the hairline at the back and up the top of your head.

Repeat this movement from the sides of the head. Now it's time to massage the sides of the head. Start on the left side in front of the head. Move your hands up and down in a circle. Move your hand behind the head on the left side. Repeat on the right side, working both the front and back sides of the head.

Place your hands on the scalp and move the arm. Extend your fingers and make a C shape. Place your hands on the sides of your head. The thumb will be right above the ear. Move your arm from front to back, keeping your fingertips on your scalp.

• You should feel the scalp move slightly forward and backward as you move your arm.

Pull gently on the ponytail if possible. Gather your hair back in a ponytail. Grab the ends of the hair and pull with very light force.

• If you have short hair, you can also gather a small amount of hair, then gently twist your hands and pull. Repeat this for different areas of the scalp.

Rub lightly around ears to finish. Start putting your hands behind your ears. Use your thumb and fingertips to move in a circle around your ear. Pay close attention to your earlobes. This is a very relaxing way to finish off a scalp massage. advertisement

Method 2 of 2: Use extra essential oils

1. 

   
   
   Pour the essential oil mixture on top of the head. At this point you will be using about half of the mixture. Tilt your head back slightly after pouring to avoid eye drops.

2. 

   Use your hands to stroke the scalp. Move your hand from front to back and rub in a straight line. Repeat with a circular motion. These movements will help the oil disperse evenly over the entire scalp surface.
   • At this point you will focus primarily on the scalp, not the hair.

3. 

   Bend forward and pour oil on the back of your head. Tilt your head forward until your chin touches you. Pour the rest of the mixture at the hairline behind the head. Use your hand to apply oil forward.

4. 

   Massage the entire head. Now that you have enough oil on your scalp, slowly massage the oil into your scalp. Going from front to back and back. Massage both sides of the head. Massage in circles and straight lines. Pay close attention to areas where you feel stressed or tired.
   • You can also spend more time massaging your temples.

5. 

   Rub the oil into your hair from root to tip. After massaging your entire scalp, you start moving on to your hair. Gently apply essential oils to your hair. Move from the base to the tip of each strand of hair.

6. 

   Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner. After you have kept the oil in your hair for enough time, you will take a shower. Rinse hair with regular hair care products. Remember to massage your hair for a few minutes while washing your hair.
   • There is no need to wait until the next morning to wash off the oil. If oil gets on your face, wash it off right away. You should not leave the oil on your skin overnight. Be sure to wash your hands after you have finished massaging your scalp.
