Scalp massagers have been getting more and more popular recently–and for good reason. They can help with a range of issues–from dandruff to hair loss–and are easy to use at home. Plus, they won’t break the bank.
With that in mind, getting into a routine with a scalp brush is a great way to combat hair loss and achieve thicker, healthier hair.
According to Jessica Wu, Los Angeles-based dermatologist, scalp massagers are a great idea. She explained to Allure, "Studies have shown that scalp massage can increase hair thickness by stretching the living hair follicle cells and stimulating them to produce thicker, individual hairs, so I’d suggest them for anyone who wants to have thicker hair."
Using a scalp brush regularly can help exfoliate the scalp and stimulate circulation, improving scalp and hair health.
With that in mind, keep reading for an affordable scalp brush available on Amazon!

"I've been using this for almost a month. I use it for 1-2 minutes every day when I shampoo, and I also gently massage it on my forehead while it is still bubbly. I have fine hair that is usually lifeless. It now has more body and actually feels and looks a little thicker. I might be imagining this, but my hair seems to have more natural color variation, and my forehead seems a little less "creasy" when I raise my eyebrows." -Amazon Reviewer
"I love this product. I wasn’t sure about it while I was washing my hair, but I immediately felt like it was cleaner than I had been able to get it before I found this product while I was rinsing my conditioner. I have long, thick, curly hair and I use dry shampoo a few times a week, and I think this product was able to help me get that residue out. My hair was even easier to comb and once it had dried and I straightened it, it looked nicer than it had in a while." -Amazon Reviewer
"I’ve had flat hair for years. I never knew it was because of buildup until Mell Guido (a licensed curly hair specialist that has a YouTube channel called Manes by Mell) recommended this product as a key to getting a truly good cleanse; therefore, a huge key to getting great volume at the roots. It has SOLVED my flat root problems!!! This tool is ESSENTIAL to everyone, I believe. Even my husband (who is always skeptical and stays away from gimmicky products) started using it and says he notices he gets a better clean!" -Amazon Reviewer
