Scalp Massager Review: A Waterproof Head Massager That Feels Like the Salon Chair?
Scalp Massager
The best part of a haircut is the shampoo. This handheld scalp massager promises that feeling at home, in the shower, for a few minutes a day. I was curious whether it was a gimmick or something I would keep using.
What it is
A cordless, waterproof massager with soft silicone nodes that rotate across your scalp. It is small enough to hold in one hand and charges by USB.
How it works
The rotating heads knead the scalp the way a stylist's fingers do, which stimulates circulation and helps lift product build-up when used with shampoo. Most people use it for three to five minutes in the shower.
The verdict
It is relaxing, easy to use and the waterproof part matters more than you think. It will not regrow hair by itself, but for tension headaches, itchy scalp and a better shampoo it earned a permanent spot in my shower.
What we liked
- Fully waterproof, works with shampoo
- Cordless and light
- Soft nodes, no pulling
- Doubles as a neck and shoulder massager
What to keep in mind
- Not strong enough for people who want a deep tissue feel
- Charging port cover is easy to lose
