Different Scalp Massages

DIFFERENT SCALP MASSAGES

Effleurage:
This is used to spread the shampoo throughout the hair at the start and also when you apply the shampoo again for the second wash. This is a relatively slow but continuous stroking movement using the flat of the hand. Fingers should be held together, whilst each stroke moves continuously into the next. This is the first massage you do before any stimulation movements. This movement is used to apply and distribute products like shampoo. This movement is also used to rinse products out of the hair.

Effleurage will:

• improve the skin functions
• sooth the nerve endings and muscles
• help to make your client feel good and relaxed

Rotary:

This is a deeper and faster movement used during the shampoo. Use your fingertips to create small, fast, circular movements all over the scalp.

Friction:

For this movement use fingertips to create a light rubbing movement that is circular in motion. This will help to lather the shampoo. Do ask your client if your movements are too hard for them, but most clients do like to feel a strong movement. Remember this rotary movement is used to clean the hair and remove all existing products.

Petrissage:
This is still a circular movement but much slower. Use the pads of the fingers to create a griping and kneading action. You should be gentle at the start to help loosen the scalp and then start to increase the pressure. Then create friction with a much quicker movement to stimulate the blood circulation. This is normally used to help penetrate the conditioner into the hair. 

Petrissage will:-

• Break down the fatty congestions
  
• Helps disperse waste products
  
• Stimulates nerves
  
• Stimulates muscle
  
• Stimulates the blood flow
  
• Stimulates Sebaceous Glands
  
• Increases the flow of Sebum
  

Useful Information:

• Shampoo that has anti-sebum will get rid of grease.
  
• You will have 10 minutes to wash European hair with shampoo and surface conditioner
  
• You will have 15 minutes to wash Afro Caribbean hair with shampoo and surface conditioner
  
• If greasy hair has dry ends put the conditioner on the ends but not on the roots.
  

You will be assessed when you are ready and you will be timed.
Remember:-

• Make sure the client is comfortable
  
• Check the temperature of the water on the back of your hand.
  
• Is it too hot?
  
• Is it too cold?
  
• You will be assessed on the temperature of the water.
  
• If the water is too cold water you will not get the hair clean.
  
• Turn off the taps between shampoos.
  
• Always rinse carefully.
  
• Make sure all the shampoo and conditioner has gone.
  
• Keep shampoo out of client’s eyes and ears.
  
• Wrap client’s hair in a clean towel when you have finished.
