Scalp Massages and Hair Growth

Did you know a soothing scalp massage is more than just a relaxation hack? Well, research shows a correlation between scalp massages and hair growth. Something as simple as a scalp massage can help to stimulate hair growth, improve scalp health, and enhance the effectiveness of your favourite MPL oils.

Are we getting ahead of ourselves? I mean, what does science actually say? Let’s dive in and find out.

According to the science behind scalp stimulation, massaging your scalp boosts blood flow, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to hair follicles. Working oils into the scalp also helps active ingredients penetrate deeper for maximum benefit. And of course let’s not forget the mental benefits. Scalp massages help release stress by reducing tension build-up which in turn, also aids in retaining your locks.

Okay, so now that we know that scalp massages do indeed work, is there a specific technique to follow? We have a few to share.

1. Fingertip Massage: Use the pads of your fingers in small, circular motions across your entire scalp for 5–10 minutes.

2. Gua Sha: Glide a gua sha tool along your scalp in smooth strokes to help relieve tension and promote lymphatic drainage.

3. Scalp Roller: Gently roll the tool over your scalp to invigorate follicles and improve absorption.

How can you incorporate scalp massages into your lifestyle? Aim for a 5 minute massage 2–3 times per week, or daily if time allows. And it’s best during your nightly routine, before shampooing, or while applying your leave-in.

Regular scalp massages can add a little extra magic to your hair journey by improving scalp health, encouraging growth, and giving you a moment of zen. So here’s to experiencing the magic for yourself.
