Many people generally start thinking of their scalp when they need a cure – whether it may be hair loss, dandruff, or alopicia. But your scalp is an important area that is tied to the rest of your body and often neglected at the expense of your hair and face. Your scalp is generally the highest part of your body to be exposed to the environment and other than shampoo and conditioner, few people spend time on taking care of their scalp before issues arise. Perhaps you invest heavily in skincare and SPF or you spend significant time and money getting your hair cut? Why should you begin taking care of your scalp as well? Because it is tied to your entire body and your overall well-being.
Here is how your scalp is associated with your hair, face, body, and overall wellness:
- Your scalp and your hair: One of the benefits of taking care of your scalp is to create a microbiome or an environment for healthier hair. If you massage it daily, blood circulation and blood flow are encouraged into the hair follicles. When you use a scalp serum like the TOHI Serum, it helps hydrate your scalp and roots of your hair and acts as a lubricant for a scalp massage. A study conducted in Japan confirmed 4 minutes of massaging your scalp daily helped hair growth after 6 months.
- Your scalp and your face: Your scalp is tied to your face, and as your scalp ages 6 times faster than your face, it is very important to protect and take care of your scalp. Taking care of your scalp is one of the best ways to restore your body and if you massage it upward on a consistent basis, also helps to uplift your facial skin.
- Your scalp and the rest of your body: Massaging your scalp feels good, and it helps relieve tension. From daily routine through work, life, using the computer or your phone, your scalp is hardened and requires a massage to relieve stress. Our TOHI scalp serum is refreshing and when you add it prior to massaging your hair, you will feel relaxed. Giving your scalp a massage releases dopamine and serotonin (Happy hormones). If you massage in certain acupressure points, you can help relieve tensions in different areas of the body. At times, if you want to give a massage to your partner, it can also be seen as sensual experience.
- Your scalp and your overall well-being: These feelings all help to relax and alleviate the stress that you are feeling in your body therefore helping to improve your well-being - in turn when you feel great inside psychologically, it reflects in better skin and better hair.
