For sure. Scalp massages will definitely enhance your results in combination with a DHT blocker and dermarolling.Yes, it is possible and the treatment is going to get results.
Link to the paper?I had been doing scalp massage for 6 months and it gaves me nothing but sore fingers and hairloss. Scalp massage is good for headaches but it don't have any effect on hair growth.
Blood flow theory is crap ,if that was case transplanted hairs would fall immediately after procedure. A new paper quoted that minoxidil works as AR receptors antagonist not as vasodilator.
Any more news or updates on your scalp massaging?2 weeks of scalp massage:
and zix. Scalp inflammation is down. Skin becoming much more loose, can start to barely pinch skin with significant difficulty. If I forget to do it for a day, or get lazy and don't do it well, it tightens up again very quickly. No idea if its helping actual hair but will keep doing as it makes the scalp feel better.
The shedding part I can see the logic behind, the hair strands shedds off and stronger takes it place. Think about it, the sebum build up that block nutrition and coitains DHT both outside and inside, thats a real hair killer. But getting away with that def brings more good than bad and think about it, a with good blood flow like minoxidil also provides, than how come pple get regrowth from minoxidil if this would be so bad. Check the source "beIgraviacentre", know what do they do? They sell stuff. Stuff for hair. I read this technique on a other site that tried to dismiss some topical as ineffective. And what did they do? They sell minoxidil...Apparently there is a risk for some people that massaging the scalp could actually help DHT attack the scalp rather then stop it?

https://modenahair.com/blog/remove-sebum-build-containing-dht-scalp/DHT resides in our blood and reaches hair follicles internally, at the cellular level. But it’s also present exteriorly, on the surface of our scalp. It gets on the surface through excretion, via sweat and sebum. DHT does just as much damage to our hair follicles internally as it does externally.
When my shedding was worse I had these little "grains of sand" in my hair too. I don't seem to have them much anymore since I started using a homemade oil topical. I also derma roll (0.5 mm and 1.0 mm) and use Regenepure, a ketoconazole shampoo. My hair loss hasn't seemed to have gotten worse, at least not noticeably, but hasn't seen any regrowth either.I remember having some of this on the outside of my scalp a few years ago, it's like little grains of sand. I also remember reading clogged sebum can build up in the scalp and harden causing hair loss. Scalp massages ensure you release any excess sebum so they are also helpful in that regard.
Any updates from the massaging? Have you stuck with it for a year? I've been doing a 20 minute massage once per day for about 6 weeks now and plan on doing it for the next year at least.Doing 2x20 minute massages is definitely tough. Majority of the time I’m able to fit them in but a couple of days a week I can only fit in 1 massage. That’s impressive how loose your scalp is...I’m definitely not there yet but hopefully in a few months. Will be interesting to see what Rob says regarding finasteride and scalp effect.
