Effect of a Hair Loss Management Concurrently Incorporating Aroma Scalp Massage on Hair and Scalp Conditions

    TLDR Aroma scalp massage improved scalp condition and satisfaction but not hair thickness or density.
    This study investigated the effects of a hair loss management program combined with aroma scalp massage on hair and scalp conditions, involving 16 participants aged 20 to 50, divided into experimental and control groups. Over 8 weeks, both groups showed no significant differences in hair thickness and density. However, both groups experienced significant increases in moisture and oiliness, and decreases in stratum corneum amount, pore condition, and scalp surface. Notably, the experimental group showed a significant decrease in stratum corneum amount after 8 weeks and reported higher subjective satisfaction compared to the control group.
