Instructions: If your hair is dry and lifeless, part of the problem could be too little oil reaching your scalp. "Were all so stressed out that circulation to the scalp is cut off from tightness in the next and shoulders," says Nina Ummel. Dry air, dirt and pollution complete the limp hair look. To increase circulation and draw out dirty guild-up, try this massage and mud treatment. If you have one, try massaging in the mud with a scalp brush, a flat, handleless brush with a finger loop; the brush fits in the palm of the hand and typically has stiff bristles to stimulate the scalp.

Shampoo your hair, then towel dry until its damp but not dripping. If you wash your hair in the shower, set the conditioner or oil on the shower floor, so the running water warms it. Massage the conditioner or oil into your scalp, using a scalp brush if you have one. Leaving in the conditioner or oil, apply mud. Massage in mud until hair is coated. Leave on for 15 to 30 minutes.

Shampoo out.
