Beauty tools are everywhere! These accessories that boost beauty routines are enjoying exponential success. After the face, here's the capillary version for massaging the scalp! We tell you more about these scalp care essentials.
The benefits of scalp massage
- Massaging the scalp helps activate blood circulation to supply all the nutrients needed for healthy hair follicles.
- This stimulation of the hair follicles strengthens the bulb (which is more deeply rooted in the skull) and prevents hair loss. The result: stronger, healthier hair.
- Last but not least, scalp massage is a real anti-stress ally: it releases tension and provides an immediate sensation of soothing and relaxation.
The boar bristles brush, the star of scalp massage accessories
If its boar bristles is of the highest quality, then your hairbrush could well become your scalp's best ally. And with good reason: it promotes blood circulation in the scalp, making it easier to supply the hair bulbs with the nutrients and oxygen they need. The result: roots are toned up,accelerating hair growth naturally. What's more, the boar bristles brush removes impurities that suffocate the scalp. Gone are the dust, pollution and pollen that accumulate throughout the day!

The Gua Sha comb, for detangling hair and massaging the scalp
Gua Sha is known for toning the face and fighting wrinkles, but did you know that this trendy massage accessory is also dedicated to the scalp? In the form of a comb - usually made of jade stone or rose quartz - it can be used to massage not only the scalp, but also the nape of the neck.
Even if nothing beats a real detangling brush made of biosourced nylon fibers, we always take care to detangle our hair starting with the ends, then gradually working up towards the roots to avoid breakage as much as possible. Once the knots have been removed, you can gently massage your scalp with your Gua Sha comb.
The scalp massage brush, the multi-purpose hair tool
This accessory is becoming increasingly popular in the world of sclapcare. But beware, its name can be misleading! Yes, it's not a brush (it doesn't detangle hair), but exclusively a scalp massage tool.
Also known as a scalp brush, it is generally made of silicone and features flexible pins and an ergonomic tip. It massages the scalp to remove impurities and stimulate blood circulation.
Please note: we recommend avoiding sclap brushes with rigid plastic pins. These don't soften when they come into contact with the scalp, and can cause irritation.
