Our scalp massager is a handheld hair tool designed to massage the scalp on wet or dry hair. It features flexible silicone bristles that gently massage the scalp when pressure is applied. Scalp massagers have been designed to increase blood flow to the scalp, promoting hair growth and relieving stress. It is usually a great first-step in your hair routine and can be used on all everyone with all hair types.
There have long been anecdotal reports of scalp massages promoting hair growth. People claim that scalp massage has caused visible improvement in their hair length and health by increasing scalp wellness and removing some of the impediments to healthy, natural hair growth.
Now there’s the science to back up these claims. In a 2016 study, regular scalp massages were confirmed to result in the growth of thicker hair. Participants massaged their scalps for about four minutes per day over a 24-week period, resulting in the growth of visibly thicker, stronger hair. A 2019 study with 340 participants supported those original findings by reproducing similar results. The participants each massaged twice per day to improve hair loss, using similar scalp massage techniques. Approximately 69% of participants said the massages improved their alopecia, reducing hair loss and encouraging the growth of new hair.
We all know that massages are connected to the idea of relaxation which lead to increased feelings of emotional wellness and calmness. Studies suggest that a massage that specifically targets your head and scalp is particularly helpful for increasing mental health and well-being.
According to many hairstylists, scalp massages are said to release serotonin, a hormone that plays a role in improving your mood. Using a scalp massager rather than just your fingertips can increase the benefits of scalp massage. This is because scalp massagers will allow you to direct pressure and target the most sensitive parts of the scalp, increasing the impact of your massage.
