Product Information

When you go in for a a fresh haircut or bouncy blowout, of course you can't wait for the end result: A pretty, shiny, coiffed 'do. But one of the best parts of the whole process? The scalp massage from your hair pro, hands down. 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. And while it's such a luxury to have someone else massage your scalp, it's very easy to DIY with the right tools. There are a ton of scalp massaging tools that are portable, almost effortless to use, and complement your existing haircare routine. Most are meant to be used in the shower (try massaging when you apply shampoo or conditioner) and can be used daily when you move along the scalp carefully with gentle pressure.

Grab your oil of choice and massage it into the scalp with your fingers for three to five minutes. Feel free to use different movements and pressure: "The fingertips can be used to apply direct pressure to pressure points. The base of the wrist can be used to loosen and roll out the muscles around the temples," offers Hill.Once your scalp and hair are coated in oil, "use the scalp brush for another three to five minutes throughout the scalp," says Hill."Starting at the nape, use the scalp brush and make semicircle motions moving up andaround the head." Even better news: A scalp massage has real benefits besides just feeling amazing — and can be done at home. So why is a head massage worth it? The process "can stimulate the scalp and increase blood flow," says Sadah Saltzman, a hair stylist at Salon AKS in New York City. " Massaging can release tension, exfoliate scalp skin, and remove excess oil and buildup."

According to Kevin Mun, PhD, a product formulator and chief scientific officer of Venn Skincare, your scalp directly affects the health of your hair, and it is prone to getting clogged or facing external stressors just like the skin on your face. This means that if you overlook it,you could wind up experiencing dandruff, eczema, and even in extreme cases hair loss. There aren't any hard and fast rules,” says Stafford. “Some scalp massagers are meant to be used on dry hair, while some of the most popular devices are used in the shower – which offer a gentle alternative to scrubbing and exfoliating your scalp with your fingers and nails. My top tip is read the instructions on your scalp massager so you know how to get the best results. The one I designed should be used in the shower, though, as I like to do the massage on wet hair so that any build-up is removed by the shampoo," he adds. Do scalp massagers work to stimulate hair growth? Is it right for me? Yes, if you're looking for a scalp-massaging treat to make your shampoo more effective. Kent’s version is an oval-shaped brush that measures 9cm at its longest and 8cm at its widest. On the hard plastic top, there’s an extra long notch stretching from the centre to one edge lengthways, that’s designed to help improve grip. This is ideal for bigger hands, but smaller hands may find it uncomfortable. On the underside, the base is made from a rubbery plastic that has plenty of give, which creates the same cushioned effect as if you are using a regular hair brush.Pssst.
