Back, neck, whole body, and even the scalp: there are many popular types of massages. When it comes to scalp massages, some people even believe they can promote hair growth. Discover why people love scalp massages so much.
More blood = more hair?
Some people say that a scalp massage improves circulation, meaning that blood flow is boosted, as is the nutrient supply to the follicles.
This is said to help promote hair growth and strengthen the roots.
Strengthening hair follicles can offer better protection to new hair.
Moisturizing massage oils
You can use oils when you opt for a hair massage. This can help you keep your hair and scalp moisturized.
There's also an additional potential benefit: when hair is well-nourished, it is less brittle.
Scalp massages can also help distribute oils to the ends of the hair without damaging them, unlike brushing.
A great way to relax
Much of what we know about scalp massage is speculation: very few scientific studies have been conducted on the subject.
However, some studies have shown that this type of massage can increase the production of endorphins and serotonin, which helps reduce stress and improve your mood.
And as with any type of massage, if it relaxes you, that's reason enough!
