The Best Scalp Massagers
Scalp massages are said to have many benefits. They can promote hair growth, release tension, relax muscles, and they may help treat and prevent headaches and migraines. And when you have your own scalp massager, it's very easy to give yourself a massage. With so many options on the market, though, it can be tough knowing which one you should pick. To ensure you get the most out of your massage, we rounded up a few of our favorite scalp massagers available today.
What to Look For
Finding the right scalp massager isn’t always easy, but asking yourself the following three questions can help: Does the massager seem easy to use? Can it be used for other things, such as to help exfoliate or shampoo the scalp? And is it offered at a fair price? Our favorite massager came from Heeta. Low-maintenance, lightweight, and multi-functional, this massager is as well-rounded as they come. But it does lack the tech superiority that Latme’s fancy electric massager boasts, so if you want the best of the best, this might be your pick. There are more where these came from, so keep on reading to discover our favorites.
Heeta Soft Silicone Scalp Massager
Now that's the spot
Designed with uniformly spaced soft silicone brushes, this massager from Heeta may be our absolute favorite. No, it’s not fancy, and no, it isn’t the cutest, but what matters is this: this scalp massager truly works. Constructed with an easy-grip handle so that you can maneuver it with ease, this massager can be used for other tasks, as well, such as shampooing. Those following a no-shampoo regimen will appreciate that this can help clean the scalp in the shower more effectively than scrubbing with your fingers alone. And when it comes to the massage, the flexible yet firm silicone helps provides a thorough, gentle experience.
Pros:
- The price here may seem too good to be true, but your eyes aren’t lying. It’s that affordable.
- We appreciate the wide variety of colors on offer here.
Cons:
- This may work better for some hair types than others.
Euhome Scalp Massager, 2-Pack
Double trouble
Two are better than one, and this set from Euhome proves it. This two-pack of silicone massagers is mega-popular for a few reasons. For starters, it’s a great value purchase. You would have trouble finding a more economical option than this. And beyond that, having a set of n truly come in handy. You can keep one in your travel bag and one at home so that you’ll always have one on hand. Or, if you’re shopping for two, you can give one to your partner and share the love. If you’re shopping for one, you’ll appreciate having a backup in case you lose or break one.
Pros:
- Some people may prefer this type of handle over joystick-grip handles.
- These massagers are as affordable as they come. They may not last for decades, but since there are two in each pack, you’ll always have a backup handy if the first one breaks.
Cons:
- Again, these are not the most durable, but they’re not fragile, either.
Usaga Head Massager
A penny saved
Those of us working with a budget know this to be true: just because something is fancy doesn’t mean it’s better. When it comes to scalp massagers, that is especially the case. A classic prong-style massager can do the job just as well as some units that are priced exorbitantly higher. If you’re looking to unwind at the end of a long, tiring day, the gentle, flexible prongs on this massager are exactly what you need. Sit back, close your eyes, and treat yourself to calm bliss with the help of this massager.
Pros:
- We appreciate the way the long arms provide a deep reach. That’s one feature that sets this massager apart from the competition.
- Other design features we like are the easy-to-grip handle and the flexible metal prongs, which are gentle yet sturdy.
Cons:
- This massager may be hard to use to its fullest potential if you have a small head.
Flathead Products Massager and Dandruff Brush
Sure, having a scalp massager is great, but having a scalp massager that doubles as a dandruff brush is even better. This nifty option from Flathead Products comes with interchangeable heads: one for massaging and one for removing dandruff. If you’ve had trouble with your scalp’s hygiene before, you’re not the only one; sometimes it can feel like you’re fighting an impossible battle. But this tool can help you deal with it in a way that might surprise you, especially considering its affordability.
Pros:
- We like that this massaging brush is also offered in a two-pack. If you can’t get enough of the lovely baby blue color, why not double up?
- Being able to use this on wet and dry hair is quite convenient.
Cons:
- Swapping the head attachments is not as easy as we’d like.
Latme Electric Scalp Massager
For a premium massage experience, look to Latme’s electric scalp massager. This rechargeable massager works well for the whole body, not just your scalp. The individual nodes each get deep down to really relax and stretch your muscles. When used on the scalp, it helps stimulate blood flow and release tension. It may even be effective against headaches and migraines. If you want an easy-to-use scalp massager that can be utilized in multiple ways, give this massager a try.
Pros:
- This nifty massager is waterproof, so you can use it anywhere — the shower, bathtub, etc.
- The battery is rechargeable on this one. But we don’t think you’ll need to charge it too often — the battery lasts an impressive two hours on a single charge.
Cons:
- It is a bit pricier than the other options, but considering its superior features and build quality, we think it’s worth splurging.
