For massaging the scalp, warm plain coconut oil with a few black pepper and massage the warm oil into the scalp. Apply this oil even to the tip of the hair. Wash it off with home made shampoo or any other shampoo after an hour. After the massage tie the hair with soft towels dipped in warm water (make sure that the towel is not dripping with water).
During summer the oil can be massaged in night and can be washed off the next day.
