What benefit do scalp massages provide?

Scalp massages are well-known for their numerous benefits, particularly in promoting both hair growth and relaxation. The act of massaging the scalp increases blood circulation to the hair follicles, which can stimulate hair growth by providing essential nutrients to the roots. Additionally, the relaxation aspect of a scalp massage helps to reduce stress and tension, contributing to overall well-being. This combination of enhanced circulation and stress relief makes scalp massages a valuable practice in hair care.

On the other hand, while some might think that scalp massages could help with dandruff, they do not specifically remove it; dandruff is more directly addressed through appropriate shampoos and treatments. Similarly, while a massage might give the appearance of increased volume temporarily due to lifted roots, it doesn't actually increase hair volume in terms of density or quantity. Lastly, a scalp massage is not intended to shorten haircut time; in fact, it usually adds to the time spent on a service as it is an additional treatment or relaxation component.
