1. Effleurage

The French word meaning “to skim”


or “to touch lightly on”, is a soothing,
stroking movement. During hair wash this
is used to relax the scalp and distribute
shampoo or conditioner evenly.

1. Effleurage

Hold hands flat with fingers


together. Beginning at your hairline, slowly
sweep both hands over the surface of your hair,
moving backwards and down the head. As
hands move across the surface, they lightly
mold to the contour of the head. Repeat the
action on the sides of your head.

Place your hands as if holding a big hamburger.


The fingers are spread apart. With hands in this pose,
place pads of fingers to scalp. Keep fingers still and use
your arms to control slow circular movements. Fingers
glide over the surface of the scalp. The action will move
shampoo around your head. Keep tension in fingers for
firm pressure or, relax them for lighter sensations.
