Adapting IHM for bald people

[Lady Discordia]

Hiya new to this site and just started a IHM vtct course. This is a question in our workbook, what do you alter. I know you couldn't do any plucking or ruffling but what else?

Thanks

Hi Cherrypie,
This topic was covered very recently so you'll find a few more answers on that thread.
Sorry but I don't know how you put a thread link on a post! If you put a search in for 'bald' it will come up.
PS. It's in the student section.

Not difficult In this instance, go to the main page of Student/Training and find the thread to which you're referring. Open the thread. Then go to the top of the page, to the address bar, where the little green apple is, with http://www. etc. Highlight that address. RIGHT click with your mouse. From the menu which appears, choose COPY.

In your reply window, RIGHT click again and this time choose PASTE. That's it. Job done.

It's best to have two HP pages open for this, or you can lose what you're typing.

HTH, but PM me if further clarification is needed.

I did do a search in the forums before i posted and found nothing. I have done it on a bald person as it's part of my range, plus hubby has no hair (shaved) and do it all on him but i have to say how to adapt it for a bald person and we have never discussed this!

Hi, I've done IHM on bold people and instead of the hair scrunch and flicking I do massage on the head. I still do the plucking on the head.

Bit tricky to find the link, i typed in 'bald people' and what Treacle mentioned in regard of S/T didn't come up, so went on the rummage in S/T and found it- et voila!

Hi JH

Just checked Helen McGuiness book used for my training but it's not in there! It was part of the routine taught to me though.

Found it my Narendra Mehta book though, "Indian Head Massage" p. 60

Soft landing, quick take off!

With your fingers outstretched, land softly on the head. On making contact, spring off, bringing your fingers and thumbs together. Land in a different position, with your fingers oustretched. Repeat this energetic movement until you have covered the top of the head.

So not pinching, but a kind of picking motion. Good with hair, but also works without hair as it's stimulating, brinign circulation to the scalp. Can be done with both hands at same time, or alternating hands. Hope this helps!
