​

To provide a head massage prepare your client making sure to protect their clothes from the hair tonic etc.

1. Place a towel around your clients neck.

2. Begin by asking your client to close their eyes as hair tonic can sting and tilt their head back.

3. applying a gentle amount of hair tonic to the scalp rubbing it in as you go. Try to prevent dribbles and drips down the face or neck.

4. Apply a light to medium pressure on the head working in circular motions around the hair line. 

5. Massage for a minimum of 5 minutes, making sure to cover the entire scalp. using different techniques and rotation patterns.

6. Use your thumbs to gently massage deep their neck and across the shoulders.
