Scalp massage is one of the techniques used in Acupunture and Traditional Chinese Medicine for hair health. It's a similar concept: it releases tension, stimulates the acupressure/acupuncture points which allows qi to flow smoothly, and increases blood flow. There's a lot more to it than just that, which I'm not qualified to speak on since I'm not a practitioner, but it's a simple thing that one is encouraged to do at home for overall scalp health. I've been doing it for years, but my arm does get tired, so this device is so intriguing.
Interesting. Another hair loss TH-cam channel did a study concerning microneedling of the scalp. Shorter needle lengths were actually more effective. So 0.5 - 0.8 mm needles compared to the 1mm+ needles. You talk about that channel too (Rob English).
I really appreciated this conversation, especially as a woman who was unsure if the Growband would work for me. After giving it a try, I’ve actually noticed a difference in the thickness of my hair. It’s refreshing to see something addressing scalp tension that isn’t just focused on men!
@@HannahAdventures2024 When did you buy a Growband? For how long did you try it? What do you mean it’s not just focused on men? This IS just focused on men!
@@HannahAdventures2024 every person who’s watched this video to the end knows that your comment is not true. Really sus… Seems like a fake account used by the creator of this video..
I just squeezed and massaged my head, and oddly enough it popped my sinus and made me able to breathe better through my nose. That makes me convinced that my head is blocked somehow with inflammation or something which possibly is causing my hair problems.
Great interview & information! As far as Rob English, I have looked into his method. There is a lot of contradictory information on his method (especially on forums like Reddit). I appreciate your research into this topic as hair loss is so very frustrating.
Did anyone else notice significant hair loss starting two weeks after a Covid vaccination or from having Covid? I certainly did and my sister did as well. Most, but not all eventually grew back, but ever since then I’ve been losing hair. Thyroid levels are “normal”, so I’ll check in with my naturopath to see what options I might have for bio-identical hormone replacement.
I did not take any vaccines, thank God, but I did get covid and went almost completely bald several months after I was better. I normally have naturally dark brown curly hair to my waist (I'm age 64, but I'm super youthful, exercise alot, etc.). My hair has now grown back about 90 percent. I tried seemingly everything. The only product that absolutely 💯 made my hair grow back was applying hemp oil to my scalp. I kept my scalp and hair soaked in hemp oil for months, and my hair grew back. ❤
It’s extremely common for Covid to cause hair loss because it actually triggers Telogen Effluvium. Telogen Effluvium happens whenever the body is put under a severe amount of stress. It disrupts the hair cycle and throws the hair cycle into an intense hair shedding phase. Once TE happens approx 3 mos after the stress was put onto the body the hair will begin to shed. The hairs die immediately at the time of the stressful event but it takes 3mos to start notice the shedding because the shedding is actually the new hairs that have began to grow are now long enough to start poking through the scalp and pushes the dead one out. Supplement or any type of hair loss serums can not stop or reverse TE. Those hairs died at the time of the stressful event and are going to fallout regardless! Other things can cause TE like a big surgery that was hard on the body, really high fevers, childbirth, just even emotional stress like the loss of a loved one. Some autoimmune diseases can cause it because of the stress the autoimmune disease is putting on the body. I suffer from this and when my autoimmune disease get out of control it happens. For a good 10yrs I have TE happen at least once a year😢 Hopes this helps anyone to understand. It’s not just specifically Covid it’s the stress Covid cause on some peoples bodies.
I have not heard of a single person around me who has not gotten some sort of side effect from those shots...I watched my loved one deteriorate after getting the boosters. He was perfectly healthy before the covid shots. He passed away this year.
@@thehonestchannel Thanks! I agree & I figure I’ll just consider it a good workout for my fingers, hands & wrists. It will take time for me to build up to 20 - 30 minutes, but it will help me with my grip strength! 🙌🏼🫶🏼🙌🏼
Hey! I grew back my hair with application of Rosemary oil and peppermint oil and tons of scalp massage. and A Boar hair bristle brush. Sure the hair is finer but It grew back!
Interesting. We tell cancer patients who have tough fibrosis of the skin following radiation to massage the fibrotic skin to get the fibrosis to become less stiff and increase blood flow. So this is making sense. I had heard of it before & try to do massage myself but he’s right that it wears out the fingers and I also have to try to remember to do it before my shower because I don’t want my hair to look oily from the oils on my hand.
I've been using minox along side tretinoin on my scalp for the past 12 months now. Literally the cheapest form of minox and still no side effects plus the results are truly decent!
I was talking to woman recently who works with a Phd on scalp health/research. She showed me scalp massage and also said we should be washing our scalps daily. I also wonder abut red light therapy, which was not mentioned. It would be interesting if your guest developed a device that combined red light with massage.
My dad and husband have been microneedling their hair for nearly 2 years now and no issues with hair breakage but they’re using a very simple stamp with short needles. There’s quite a bit of professional advice around doing the more aggressive microneedling properly as I could imagine there’s potential to cause harm there.
Interesting, Clare. Look forward to seeing your husband's results in a few months time. I use a scalp massager once or twice a week when washing my hair. I think it makes a difference! 💛
We talk about that towards the end of the conversation. They feel scalp massage (either by hand, using a device or even a scalp massage brush in the shower) is a good idea for anyone experiencing hair loss but their best results so far have been seen in men who seem to have a particular issue with scalp tension.
CBD oil has gradually grown back my hair over the last 5 years. You can see the follicles reappearing. Also, it's gone dark again from going fluffy white. But that is still an ongoing thing as you can see sharp contrast lines between the old and new. It has worked for other people too. I am also rediscovering my fringe with curly bits coming back. (My old lady killers from the past). I look younger too.
@@dniki2152 The bottles usually come with a dropper inside the lid. I always fill it up and drop it all under my tongue, once in the morning and once before bed. I make sure I do not swallow it and let the vein under my tongue take it into my bloodstream.
After going almost completely bald from covid, I starting applying hemp oil to my hair and scalp. After several months my naturally dark brown curly waist length hair grew back. I just kept my scalp and hair soaked with hemp oil. It didn't look very nice but it didn't matter to me because I wanted my hair to grow back, and it did. Also, I've been eating a teaspoon of organic black seeds daily since I was 45 years old, and I'm now 64 years old and my hair is still dark brown. The seeds keep my hair dark.
It's a good question, just not one I can answer right now but I will find a trichologist to interview about this and other hair loss interventions for women asap.
I'm having dreadful hair loss following being on mounjaro for diabetes, iv stopped the medication because handfuls of hair was coming out and I can't get an awnser ie is it temporary will it stop after so long, I'm not vain but taken years to grow my hair and post menopause hair was enough without extra falling out. X
@mirellamatotek4294 hi was you on mounjaro, have you continued the meds. Iv just spoken to my Dr and even she can't tell me would it stop after a period of time or continued. Hooe you don't mind me asking x
Everytime I start to massage my scalp it gets super inflamed and then I can't touch it for weeks. I don't know how to massage it without this happening. I'm not brutal either but I'm guessing I have underlying scalp inflammation and it gets really irritated when I try to massage it. I wonder if these guys talk about how to handle a situation like that?🤔
So sorry you're experiencing this. This is an article I found on Medical News Today about scalp tenderness and sensitivity which you might find helpful www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/313791#treatment

@@thehonestchannel The few options out there are exactly the reason a treatment like this with these huge and unbelievable changes in the hair growth of his brother as seen in the picture WOULD be world news.
Btw, I got micro-needling done & used red light treatment after a bout with sudden, major hair loss, and that helped tremendously. My hair grew back much faster than my sister’s. I think this most recent hair loss is hormonal. Thank you for sharing your findings! 🙌🏼🫶🏼🙌🏼
We don't know scalp massage doesn't help women, but the studies involving botox and scalp massage that we discussed were done in men and their customer base to date is largely male.

This all sounds fascinating & promising! Unfortunately, the massage band is quite expensive, for those of us on a very strict budget.
The great thing is though you don’t have to use a device. Massage is something we can all try.

oral or topical?
The microneedling cartridges for "pens" are being pulled from the market (Amazon, direct from brands, etc). Any tips on where to get them??
Ebay has it
