Scalp Massage for Hair Growth: Does It Really Work and How to Do It

Craig Smith

By Health FirstPublished 2 years ago 4 min read

I have always had fine and thin hair, but it never bothered me much until I started losing it. It was a gradual process, but one day I looked in the mirror and realized that my hairline was receding and my scalp was showing through. I felt embarrassed and insecure, and I tried everything to hide it. I wore hats, scarves, wigs, extensions, you name it. I also spent a fortune on hair products, supplements, and treatments that promised to restore my hair, but nothing worked.

I was desperate and depressed, and I thought I had no hope. That’s when I stumbled upon an article online that changed my life. It was about scalp massage and red light hat, two natural and easy methods that claimed to improve hair growth and health. I was skeptical at first, but I decided to give it a try. After all, I had nothing to lose.

Scalp massage is a technique that involves applying gentle pressure to your scalp with your fingertips or a device. It can help stimulate blood flow, relax your muscles, and reduce stress. Red light therapy is a treatment that uses low-level red or near-infrared light to stimulate cellular activity and healing. It can help increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and activate hair follicles.

I learned that both scalp massage and red light therapy for hair have scientific evidence to support their effectiveness for hair growth. For example, a 2016 study found that scalp massage increased hair thickness in nine men who received a four-minute daily scalp massage for 24 weeks. A 2019 study found that scalp massage improved hair loss in 340 participants who followed a specific protocol of twice-daily scalp massages for six months. A 2020 study found that scalp massage combined with red light therapy enhanced hair growth in 40 women with female pattern hair loss.

I was amazed by these results, and I decided to try them myself. I bought a scalp massager online, which was a device that looked like a brush with soft rubber tips. It also had a function that emitted red light to my scalp. I used it every day for 15 minutes, twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I also used some oil to lubricate my scalp and nourish my hair follicles.

At first, I didn’t notice any difference, but I kept doing it anyway. I figured it would take some time for the effects to show up. After a month, I started to see some baby hairs growing along my hairline. They were thin and light, but they were there. I was so excited that I almost cried. I continued with the scalp massage and red light therapy, hoping for more improvement.

After three months, I noticed that my hair was thicker and fuller than before. My scalp was less visible, and my hairline was lower. My hair also felt softer and shinier than ever. I couldn’t believe it. I had grown back my hair with just two simple methods that cost me almost nothing.

I was so happy and confident that I stopped wearing hats and wigs. I started to style my hair in different ways, and I received many compliments from my friends and family. They asked me what I did to my hair, and I told them about scalp massage and red light therapy. Some of them were skeptical, but some of them were curious and wanted to try it too.

I have been doing scalp massage and red light therapy for six months now, and I am very satisfied with the results. My hair is still growing, and it looks healthier than ever. I don’t worry about losing it anymore, and I feel more comfortable in my own skin.

If you are suffering from hair loss or thinning hair, I highly recommend you to try scalp massage and red light therapy. They are natural, easy, and effective methods that can help you grow back your hair without any side effects or risks. You just need a device or your fingers, some oil or shampoo if you want, and some patience and persistence.

You can find many devices online that offer both scalp massage and red light therapy functions, or you can use separate ones if you prefer. You can also do some research on the best oils or shampoos for your hair type and condition. The most important thing is to do it regularly and consistently for at least three months to see the results.

Trust me, it works. It worked for me, and it can work for you too. You have nothing to lose but your hair problems. Give it a try today, and you will thank me later.
