Promoting hair growth: Scalp massages increase blood flow to the hair follicles, which can help stimulate hair growth and prevent hair loss. It all starts with the circulation of blood. We need blood in order to keep those pores pumping and energized. It’s so important to drink lots of water and stay hydrated to encourage blood flow to the scalp. Without that important hydration; just like your body, your scalp goes through the consequences of your lack of fluids.

Another importance is in order to keep a healthy scalp you must keep your scalp pliable, which means to keep the scalp moving. Scalp massage improves scalp health. Scalp massages can help increase pliability of the scalp and improve scalp movements, which can improve the overall health and condition of the scalp.

A good example would be someone who lost their hair to male/female pattern baldness versus someone who shaved their head.

The scalp of someone who has no hair from the male/female pattern baldness is tight and shiny almost like glass. Not pliable. On the other hand, someone with a shaved head, their scalp isn’t as tight and you can still see the scalp pores so it's not shiny.

Lastly, although the massage isn't strictly about relaxation, it is helpful. Scalp massages reduce stress and tension. Massaging the scalp can help relieve stress and tension by promoting relaxation and reducing muscle tension in the scalp and neck.
