They provide intense hydration, better circulation, and healing, thus allowing the hair to be strengthened, which has been damaged or stressed, even beyond the usual care routines.
One of the main effects of a scalp massage is a big increase of the blood flow that is even up to 69 % which brings oxygen and nutrients to the newly formed hair.

Smoother hair is one of the results together with frizz being lesser and shiny hair resulting from the hair cuticles being sealed. Getting rid of the dirt that clogs the hair follicles, helping the production of clean and fresh sebum is the way to have it balanced.

The studies done in this field show that after the session there is not only a decrease of the stress hormones but also hair growth gets a turn.
Besides other effects scrupulous treatments remove surfaces that are clogged with the impurities, get rid of the dandruff microbes, and help the pH to get back to normal which is an inherent condition of an itchy-free scalp. Consistent massage was the reason for 69% of the people suffering from alopecia to see their situation improving.
