The Truth About 2-Hour Scalp Massages and Hair Growth

Scalp Massages for Hair Growth: Fact or Fiction? A recent video by Javon Ford Beauty on social media sparked a discussion about the effectiveness of two-hour daily scalp massages for hair growth. While the author presents information from studies suggesting a potential benefit, he cautions that more research is needed. One study, published in Eplasty in 2016, showed increased hair thickness after daily four-minute massages in a small group of men. However, the author emphasizes the limited sample size. He also points out that he hasn't found any published studies comparing scalp massage to minoxidil, a common hair loss treatment. The video concludes that while massage might be helpful for some, it's not a proven replacement for medication in cases of systemic alopecia. The author also notes the importance of considering individual scalp conditions, advising against daily massage for those with oily scalp or seborrheic dermatitis. The video highlights the need for further research to confirm the benefits of scalp massage for hair growth, urging viewers to consult with healthcare professionals for personalized advice.
