Soothe your scalp
Getting your scalp massaged with warm oil is an essential part of Ayurvedic hair care.

"It stimulates pressure points and releases congested energy in the
body," explains Marc Zollicoffer, Global Spa Educator at
Aveda. It also feels really good and promotes healthy
hair growth, which is why many salons, including
Ayurvedic-based Aveda, now offer scalp treatments.
Once the massage is finished, the oils are washed
out so they never make hair feel greasy or weighed
down; in fact, they usually rid hair of buildup from
styling products and leave it looking healthier. For an
at-home treatment, try the YAROK TRAVEL KIT ($56;
www.yarokhair.com), part of Yarok's Sensory Treatment
for Hair and Scalp, a line of oils made from organically
grown ingredients.
