How does scalp massage promote hair growth?
A recent study of Dermatology and Therapy Journal found that 69% of 340 participants reported an improvement in hair loss after having scalp massages.
Another studypublished in 2016, found that “scalp massage resulted in increased hair thickness 24 weeks after starting massage.”
So how does this work? An increase in blood circulation to the area can make a positive difference.
“When it comes to the scalp, massage can help stimulate blood circulation and lengthen hair follicles to help promote growth,” Arran Isherwood, senior trichologist at FUE Clinicstold The US Sun.
Hair care expert Gaia Tonanzi agrees.
