4 Massage your way to Stronger hair!

“A spa-inspired scalp massage boosts blood flow and circulation to your follicles,” says Cox. The result? Stronger hair! In fact, Japanese research shows that a four-minute daily scalp massage powers cells at the base of the follicles to grow hair that is thicker and stronger.

■ Try it! Beginning at top center of your head, use pads of fingers to apply firm pressure and massage scalp in circular motions over crown and down toward base of neck for 2 minutes. Then massage from temples toward back of head for 2 minutes. Repeat daily, and you’ll start seeing thicker hair in about six to eight weeks.
