Scalp massagers are the latest must-have beauty tool, so if you're sleeping on them, you'll want to get your hands head on one ASAP — for a slew of reasons. They're not only incredibly relaxing but also help exfoliate your scalp to loosen leftover product and dead skin. Using a scalp massager is also said to unclog pores, which allows more nutrients to get to the follicle for healthier, stronger hair.
If a relaxing method to get a dandruff-free scalp and hair growth is calling your name, a scalp massager is exactly the shower buddy you need. The best part? They're reasonably priced, so it won't cause any hairy situations in your wallet.
Hair Type: Before purchasing a scalp massager, check to see what hair type it is best suited for. It's always best to choose one that’s made for your hair type or suitable “All Hair Types” to avoid accidentally damaging your hair with use.
Wet or Dry: Remember: Not all scalp massagers are for shower use, so be sure to read the fine print before buying, especiallyif it's electric or battery-powered. This is mostly to ensure it's waterproof before putting it in the shower, unless, of course, you prefer a dry scalp massager. Just remember that dry scalp massagers are typically more for relaxation and tension reduction than the actual scalp exfoliation benefits.
Hair Concern: While most shower scalp massagers offer the same benefits, some are better for different needs. For example, if you have particularly bad dandruff, there are scalp massagers specifically designed to help minimize buildup. Alternatively, if you have dry hair and you'd like to be able to do regular hydrating treatments, a massager you can fill with said treatment for optimum efficacy is a great option for you.
Regardless of what you're looking for in a scalp massager, we have one for you on our list. Check out our seven top-rated scalp massagers below that are sure to give you your best hair yet.
With over 72,000 five-star reviews, the HEETA Scalp Care Hair Brush is the top-rated scalp massager. The spikes may make it look a bit intimidating, but we can assure you they're not sharp. Instead, they're made of soft silicone that's super gentle and relaxing on the scalp.
Featuring soft, flexible bristles, this scalp scrubber and brush by Kitsch deep cleans and stimulates circulation to follicles to encourage hair growth for less than $5.
This scalp massager says it's safe for all hair types. However, if you're also using it as a hairbrush in the shower, we recommend it for those with strong, thick hair since hair is weakest when wet and more prone to breakage when brushing in the shower.
Just as scrubbing your scalp is beneficial, exfoliating your body is equally as important. This massage brush is double-sided, so it is conveniently multipurpose. It can be used to brush your hair in the shower, exfoliate your scalp, or even exfoliate your body (which can help with blood circulation and getting a closer shave).
Add a couple of batteries to this massager and relax under its gentle yet effective power as it rejuvenates and stimulates your scalp, increasing blood flow and loosening dead skin and product buildup.
This Briogeo scalp reviving and stimulating massager is one of the best for any hair type, particularly if you have a dry or flaky scalp. It's perfect for use on dry or wet hair — plus, it makes for a relaxing experience while bathing and is great to use with scalp treatments. As a bonus, there's a string to hang up in your shower for easy and clean storage.
This scalp massager is the high-quality home solution to any of your hair issues, and while it might be the most expensive scalp massager on our list, it still costs less than most luxury hair serums on the market. For just under $40, it'll give you healthier, happier locks without the expensive trip to the salon.
A favorite of Best Products, this scalp massager will leave your scalp cleaner than ever and will make product buildup a thing of the past.
