These preparations are meant to be applied to--and then massaged into--clean hair and scalp. (See the following chapter on shampooing for the correct technique.) Your hair should not be wet but just barely damp (towel-dry, please...and squeeze, don't rub, the water out). Then give yourself a chance to relax while you let the recipe do its work: apply, massage, and wrap hair in a towel. Lie down briefly, if possible, with the feet higher than the head so that you relax and the blood goes to the head and scalp, hastening absorption of all the good ingredients in these natural remedies.
The massage techniques I describe later in this chapter are used in the application of the remedies. Massage is an important adjunct to these natural hair preparations. By stimulating the flow of blood to the scalp, it enhances the absorption of the nutrients in the preparation and at the same time refreshes and cleanses from the inside. Regular scalp massage will be of great benefit in giving you the kind of hair you want: glossy, full, lively.
Correct application is as important as the preparation itself. If you don't give your scalp the opportunity to absorb the nutrients you are providing it, and the hair shaft the benefit of the cleaning/glossing/protecting, you are only accomplishing half the job. Beyond that, giving yourself a few moments' respite from whatever else you are doing is just plain good for you. It's an ideal time to pamper the rest of yourself...including your mind. I personally find it particularly refreshing to meditate during a treatment.
