A scalp massager is a brush for your scalp that you use when washing your hair with shampoo or conditioner.
This group of products is also known as a shampoo brush. Other names include hair scalp massager, scalp massager brush or hair massage brush. These are all different terms for the same product.
You use a shampoo brush while applying shampoo or conditioner. First, wet your hair and apply the shampoo or conditioner. Distribute it evenly and then take your scalp massager brush. Gently massage your scalp using the brush. You can also use it during rinsing to help remove the product from your hair.
Firstly, a shampoo brush provides a relaxing scalp massage and helps distribute the shampoo evenly. Secondly, it stimulates blood circulation in your scalp. A scalp massager has soft bristles to gently massage the scalp, improving circulation.
It’s difficult to say whether a scalp massager directly promotes hair growth. It may support healthier hair growth, and some studies suggest slight thickening, but it’s not a cure for hair loss. Lost hair unfortunately won’t grow back from using a scalp brush.
Besides improved circulation and a relaxing effect, a scalp massager offers additional benefits. It helps remove dead skin cells, reducing the risk of dandruff.
Scalp massage may also help relieve headaches and migraines by relaxing the nervous system and easing tension in the neck muscles.
