The Indian head massage is not only relaxing but promotes a healthy scalp and subsequently healthy hair. In the case of dry hair it stimulates the sebaceous glands and so acts as a natural lubricant. Also it increases the blood circulation which feeds the roots of the hair. Dandruff is usually generated by a dry scalp or the over production of dead skin cells that are not able to be removed quickly enough.For extra dry hair and scalp try massaging a good quality conditioner into the roots and covering with a plastic cap for fifteen minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Keep hair covered in swimming pools and be aware that too much sun and wind can also damage the hair, so take precautions to keep your hair covered when outdoors or when in extreme conditions for prolonged periods of time.
