Q What are the benefits of Natural Treatments to boost hair growth and promote overall wellbeing?
Scalp massage offers numerous benefits, including:
-Increased blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles, providing more oxygen and nutrients to promote healthy hair growth and prevent hair loss.
-Reduced stress and tension, promoting relaxation and releasing endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. Stress is a common cause of hair loss, so reducing it can positively impact your hair health.
-Increased nutrient delivery by unclogging hair follicles, delivering important minerals and nutrients needed for healthy hair growth.
-Strengthened hair follicles to prevent breakage and promote healthy hair growth.
-Improved scalp health by removing dead skin cells and increasing circulation, preventing dandruff and other scalp conditions.
-Enhanced hair texture through regular scalp massage, strengthening hair follicles for improved texture and overall hair health.
But the benefits don’t stop there! Scalp Beard Bliss offers additional wellbeing benefits, including improved sleep, increased energy levels, and a general sense of wellbeing. Massage also reduces and eases the effects of depression and anxiety, lightens stress and muscular tension, soothes headaches, neck and back aches, relieves eyestrain discomfort, and improves concentration levels, memory, and mental alertness.
Q: How long does it take to see results from scalp/head massages for hair regrowth?
Most people may begin to see improvements in their hair growth within a few weeks to a few months of regular head massage. Results can vary depending on underlying causes of hair loss, frequency of massages, and individual health and genetics. For example “if a hair follicle has closed, disappeared, scarred, or not generated a new hair in years, then a new hair would not be able to grow,” however if the follicle is still intact, it is possible to regrow the hair, or to improve the health of the existing thinner hairs.
Q: Can these treatments grow all my hair back?
While some people may experience notable levels of regrowth, others may experience stabilisation or moderate levels of regrowth and others may not notice significant results. Any level of response to treatment should be seen as a success, as without treatment, hair loss may continue at a quicker rate.
Q. How do you know when hair follicles are dead and are no longer capable of producing hair?
Determining the status of a hair follicle can be difficult due to various factors, including genetics, age, hormonal changes, and medical conditions. One way to determine if a hair follicle is still active is to look at the skin around it. If there is no visible hair shaft emerging from the follicle, and the surrounding skin appears smooth and uniform, it is likely that the follicle is inactive or “dead.” In addition, if a hair follicle has been inactive for a prolonged period of time and is no longer producing hair, it may be considered “dead.” As-well as, if a hair follicle has been damaged or destroyed, for example, due to scarring or certain medical treatments like chemotherapy, it may also be considered “dead.” It’s important to note that while some hair follicles may be damaged or destroyed, others may simply be inactive and capable of being revived with treatment. For some individuals, treatments can revive “dead” follicles. However, the effectiveness of these treatments may vary and thus be evaluated after a reasonable amount of time; therefore it is totally worth trying out treatments and evaluating the effectiveness at 12 weeks.
Q. Do the treatments help to thicken any current hair?
The oils used, such as rosemary and lavender, are known to help thicken hair and promote healthy growth.
Q. Is there any evidence to suggest that massage promotes hair regrowth in men?
Yes-One study published in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science found that four minutes of daily scalp massage for 24 weeks led to significant increases in hair thickness, hair count, and hair follicle density in men. Another study published in the International Journal of Neuroscience found that scalp massage increased blood flow to the scalp and activated hair follicles in men. A third study published in the Journal of Korean Medical Science found that scalp massage combined with aromatherapy using a blend of essential oils led to significant improvements in hair thickness and hair growth in men. Finally, a study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology found that stretching the skin during a scalp massage induced the production of growth factors that promote hair growth in men.
Q: What are some reasons to try out these treatments instead of mainstream medication or hair transplants?
My treatments use natural products that promote well-being without harsh side effects, unlike Finasteride’ and ‘Minoxidil’ that may cause decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction, or anxiety and depression. Hair transplant surgery does not stop continued hair thinning and hair loss to the native hair around it, and may not be suitable for those with additional health needs.
Q: What are the primary advantages to the pre-blended oils used?
The oils used, including rosemary, lavender, myrrh, ginger, and grapeseed, they have various benefits such as reducing DHT activity (hormone associated with hair loss in men), reducing stress, strengthening hair follicles, and moisturising hair to prevent dryness and breakage:
–Rosemary– Aids quick blood circulation to the scalp, prompting hair growth. Reduces DHT activity: DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a hormone that is associated with hair loss, particularly in men.
–Lavender-Reduces stress: Stress is a common cause of hair loss.
–Myrrh-It strengthens hair follicles and promotes the production of new, healthy hair cells.
–Ginger-Soothes scalp irritation. Has antifungal and antibacterial properties that can help improve overall scalp health and prevent conditions such as dandruff and scalp infections.
-Grapeseed-Acts as a moisturiser that helps condition hair and prevent dryness and breakage promoting hair growth.
Q: Can the oils used be too harsh for sensitive scalps?
Patch tests can be offered upon request, and solely grapeseed oil can be used as an alternative.
Q: What are the additional benefits of opting for longer combination massages?
Longer massages provide added relaxation, which can reduce stress, a common cause of hair loss. The 45-minute Scalp, Beard, and Back Bliss package also includes a rose water mask to improve beard hair health and appearance by providing hydration and reducing inflammation.
Q: Can I get a haircut and massage in the same visit?
Yes, haircuts should be done first, the oils used need time to saturate within the scalp, so it is recommended to wait at least 30 minutes or leave on overnight for maximum effect.
Q: How often should I have hair regrowth treatments?
I recommend having treatments once a week, up to a maximum of three times a week, with a review at 12 weeks.
