Hair Talks: The Importance of Scalp Care Ft. Vana Dineshkumar
Engaging in scalp care is, in essence, the harvesting of the nutrients that allow for strong, healthy hair growth. In this episode of Hair Tales, Vana takes us on a journey through how she was taught the art of scalp massage, in our journey to support others in healing. Then the hair tales team joins Vana and her daughter Baira, as they demonstrate the art of scalp massage.
For this episode, we highly recommend you have a towel, hair oil and your fingers ready! Hair Tales is about to take you to the root of the issue.
