DO SCALP MASSAGES HELP HAIR GROWTH?

Hair fall and hair-related issues are faced by almost every individual. Be it hair loss, breakage, frizzy hair, thin hair, or dandruff, it is a hair problem we experience or a problem we hear somebody complain about. We thought of looking at a major hair concern today which is hair growth and its relationship with scalp massages. Do deep scalp massages really help hair growth? 

Before we know the answer to the question, we should realize that massaging is a physical technique rather than a nutritional supplement. Therefore, results from scalp massages actually depend on the individuals’ health circumstances. 

Massaging cannot clinically increase hair growth but scalp massages increase blood circulation in the head, which can stimulate hair growth. From this, we can understand that people who are experiencing hair loss from lack of blood circulation can benefit from scalp massages.

Even though there is no direct correlation, scalp massages can be really relaxing and helpful for healthy hair. It dilates blood vessels and strengthens the tips of the hair. When the dermal papilla cells of hair follicles are stretched properly, hair can grow thicker. But to achieve these results from massaging, one must correctly follow the process of scalp massage.
