Effleurage strokes that are centripetal (towards the heart) are most often performed on the extremities, like the arms and legs, because it is important to direct the blood flow towards the heart in the veins to prevent damage to their valves.

When and how effleurage techniques be used on the hair?

Effleurage is a smooth stroking motion using the palms of the hands. It is used to evenly distribute shampoo or conditioner. It is important to always keep one hand on the client when carrying out this movement as it used to relax the client and they may receive a jolt or surprise if contact is broken. Effleurage is also beneficial to long hair as the stroking motion prevents tangling and ensures conditioner is applied all the way to the ends.
