effleurage is a gentle stroking movement used when shampooing and conditioning, often combined with friction to thoroughly cleanse scalp and roots. . . petrissage is a slow deep circular movement made when massaging in condtioner or oil. . . this shud be the bit where u go ahhhhhh and relax at the backwash. . x

As others said, Petrissage is massage movements with applied pressure in which you deeply compress the underlying muscles. Kneading, wringing, skin rolling and pick-up-and-squeeze are the petrissage movements. They are all performed with the tips of the fingers and also the thumbs.In other words its the movements you make when shampooing hair, finger tips, circular firm movement, imagining you have a tennis ball held in the palm of your hands! Hope this helps!

Instead of expecting the geeks to tell you the answer, ask your new best friend, aka Google search engine :wink2:
Either that or use the search engine that we have here on the site.
