Product Information

If you want to ensure you are getting the most from this technique, here are a few tips to implement. 1. Use Your Fingertips, Not Your Nails Whether you prefer a soft silicone bristle, a firmer plastic one, or a carved jade comb is entirely up to your personal preference and hair care needs. If you have a sensitive scalp or sensitive skin, err on the side of softer bristles, and try a silicone brush, like the Freatech Shampoo Brush Scalp Massager. If you have grease-prone hair or are an avid dry shampoo user and require a bit more scrubbing to get all build-up off your scalp, opt for something more firm with plastic bristles, like the Jupiter Scalp Brush or the Denman Palm Styler for Detangling, Massaging & Styling. Scalp massage is generally very safe and can be practiced by anyone. However, If you suffer from an inflammatory condition like dandruff, psoriasis, or scalp irritation, the friction might aggravate the underlying inflammation. In this case, you should consult with a doctor prior to starting treatment. The Real Deal? If your goal is self-care and simple relaxation or you have extra-sensitive skin, you’ll want to look for soft, silicone bristles. You can also find scalp massagers with fine-tooth bristles (such as the Tangle Teezer The Scalp Exfoliator & Massager and the Kitsch Pro Scalp Exfoliator) that can feel more gentle. If you’re hoping to target stubborn buildup or dry, flaky skin, you should aim for a scalp massager with firmer, larger bristles. Additional Products

If you've ever thought that a scalp massager wasn't for you, whether because of price or an assumption that they're too bougie for your low-key hair-care routine, think again. "It is necessary to activate the scalp muscles and improve circulation as well as remove debris from the base of the hair follicle," says Bridgette Hill, a certified trichologist, hairstylist, and colorist with over 20 years of scalp- and hair-health experience. "The scalp brush is universally needed for all scalp and hair types to be used at some point in scalp and hair-care regimens," she adds. Another electric-powered option. You don't have to use circular strokes to get the same scalp-tingling results. It's handheld, so you control the pressure, and it comes in three candy-shell colors. Avoid excessive shampooing and brushing. Also, limit the use of chemical treatments, dyes, and heated hair styling tools. These can all weaken hair cuticles and cause breakage. You can also use this scalp massager in the shower. After applying shampoo, you can scrub the scalp thoroughly with the brush. 3. Combine With Oil Additional research from 2019 supported these findings. This study was based on survey responses from 340 participants who had followed specific instructions by doing twice-daily scalp massages to improve hair loss.Scalp massagers can help to support the healthy function of hair follicles by increasing blood flow to the scalp, which in turn increases the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles,” says Dr. Marcus. “While actual hair growth stimulating effects would likely be minimal at best, using a scalp massager is certainly something that would support the normal function of the hair follicles.” Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner. Once you’re ready to remove the oil, take a shower. Cleanse your hair thoroughly with your normal hair products to wash the excess oil from your scalp.

Most importantly, look for a massager with soft bristles, suggests Rebecca Marcus, MD, board-certified dermatologist and founder of Maei MD. If you want an electric model, opt for one with gentle vibration, she adds. Pour 3-5 drops of oil onto the center of your crown. Part your hair down the middle as best you can, then add 3-5 drops of your oil mixture to the very top of your head, where you parted your hair.

Don't use harsh pressure: It may feel nice to scratch your skin with those bristles, but aggressively tugging at your strands can lead to tangles, shedding, and discomfort. A good scalp massager should release tension, not contribute to it.

The goal is to create different creases throughout the scalp. For this purpose, move one hand while keeping the other fixed, and then move the other. Then vice versa again. Aim to move and loosen the entire scalp.Using your fingertips, gently massage your shampoo or conditioner into your hair for 5 minutes. Then rinse your hair as usual. 3. Brushes and massage tools

Traveling with this massager is easy thanks to its USB rechargeability. Our tester found it to be quiet, and that it works well in and out of the shower. “It was surprisingly heavier than I expected, but I feel like that attributes to its sturdiness,” she added. According to the brand, you can also use it anywhere else on the body. The researchers used various assessments to measure stress. These included questionnaires and cytokine measurements. Cytokines are endogenous pro-inflammatory substances. Immune cells release them in response to injury, infection, or allergic reaction. When cytokine levels increase, this can indicate body-wide inflammation. In a Japanese research study, nine healthy men received four minutes of daily scalp massage on one side of their heads ( 10). They used an electrical massage device, the Panasonic EH-HM75.

Stress increased significantly when the 18 students were in the midst of exams. This was accompanied by changes in cytokine balance. Massage is a common alternative health practice. It is used to improve blood circulation, decrease tension, and aid muscle recovery. In addition, it is increasingly used to promote hair growth. An ideal scalp massager has soft bristles that won’t cause hair breakage and an ergonomic grip that makes it easier to dig in (gently). Bonus points if it's electric and waterproof to make sudsing up all the more effortless and relaxing. Leave the oil in for at least 10 minutes. To get the full benefits of the oil, leave it in for at least 10 minutes, or even overnight.

If you leave the oil in overnight, put a towel over your pillow to keep it from getting messy.
