With the addition of nourishing oils, we can also promote improved hair growth and scalp health. This tool is a thoroughly modern take on the practice, drawing on the traditional methods of scalp massage to help users achieve the same effects at home. The flexible rubber prongs stimulate the scalp, encouraging healthy hair and a relaxed mind.”
