GlossaryScalp Massage (Head Massage)

gentle finger pressure and circular motions applied to the scalp

Scalp massage, also known as head massage or scalp stimulation, involves using the fingers to apply gentle pressure and circular motions to the scalp. This practice can improve blood circulation, promote relaxation, and potentially stimulate hair growth by increasing the delivery of nutrients to hair follicles. It is often used in both therapeutic and cosmetic contexts, such as in the treatment of tension headaches or as part of a hair care routine.
