How it works
Mechanical stimulation stretches dermal papilla cells, which may upregulate genes associated with hair growth and increase blood flow to follicles.
Requires consistent daily practice for many months. Best evidence is for androgenetic alopecia. Less evidence for other hair loss types.
A small Japanese study showed daily 4-minute scalp massage increased hair thickness after 24 weeks. Evidence base is small but promising and risk-free.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
