Aftercare advice for clients
Aftercare advice for clients
Immediate Aftercare
- Explain that clients should avoid strenuous activity for at least a few hours after the massage, to allow the body to absorb the full benefits of the treatment.
- Advise clients to drink plenty of water to help flush out any toxins and impurities that have been released during the massage.
- Suggest having a leisurely bath or shower to prolong the relaxation effect and soothe any tenderness in the scalp.
Maintaining Aftercare
- Recommend avoiding hair products with harsh chemicals that may strip the natural oils from the scalp and hair.
- Encourage regular self-massage between professional treatments, to help maintain relaxed muscles and stimulate blood flow.
- Clients should consider the use of deep conditioning treatment or oil for their scalp and hair, particularly if they often use a high-heat styling routine.
Diet and Lifestyle
- Discuss the benefits of a healthy diet rich in essential vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin E, B Vitamins, Amino Acids and Zinc, to support healthy hair growth and scalp.
- Propose trying to manage stress levels as chronic stress can impact overall well-being as well as hair health.
- Discuss the importance of regular exercise for maintaining healthy blood circulation, which contributes to healthy hair and scalp.
Cautionary Points
- Make clients aware of any areas of tenderness they may experience after treatment and reassure them that this is normal.
- Clients should be advised to contact their therapist if they experience any unusual or prolonged discomfort following a massage.
- Reinforce the importance of regular treatments in order to maximise the benefits of the massage and maintain the health of their scalp and hair.
