Scalp massage is a super relaxing treatment, a truly regenerative treat that helps stimulate microcirculation in the scalp, nourishing hair follicles and promoting hair growth and health.
This treatment is useful for relieving tension , ensuring maximum hair shine , loosening contractures and relaxing the mind.
It also helps regulate sebum production, maintaining it at healthy and constant levels, preventing folliculitis and delaying the onset of gray hair.
Scalp massage: how to do it
You can treat yourself to a scalp massage anytime, choosing a setting that gives you serenity and relaxation, without too many distractions.
- On damp hair, apply a few drops of your oil or treatment
- Lightly pat your skin, starting from the nape of your neck and working your way up to your forehead.
- Repeat the same procedure, this time massaging the skin with your fingertips, making slow circular movements.
- Next, press with the palms of your hands to the right and left, back and forth to also stimulate skin elasticity and lymphatic circulation.
- Remember to use light, circular, and deep movements to help stimulate circulation and promote complete penetration of the applied treatments.
You can also massage your scalp without applying oils or treatments: in this case , proceed on dry hair, even several times a week, massaging the scalp for 5-10 minutes.
It is important not to rub your hair and not to apply too much pressure if you have fine or weak hair.
You can also use specific massage brushes or knobs on dry hair, before cleansing, for an exfoliating and stimulating action.

Daiana's Tip
"When my hair feels weak or stressed, I apply a few drops of Yuniwa Cosmetics Hair Tonic directly to the scalp and gently massage it with my fingertips for 5-10 minutes. The massage helps the product penetrate better and stimulates microcirculation: it has become my little evening wellness ritual."
Massage and scalp types
-
Dry scalp
Use nourishing oils or hydrating lotions during the massage. Avoid excessive pressure; slow, enveloping movements are better, as they promote the distribution of nutrients. -
Oily scalp
Choose light, purifying products (e.g., rosemary, nettle, or green tea-based toners). Circular movements should be quick but gentle, so as not to overstimulate the sebaceous glands. -
Sensitive scalp
Opt for soothing lotions with aloe, chamomile, or calendula. Use minimal pressure and massage briefly (3-5 minutes) to avoid irritating the skin. -
Normal scalp
You can alternate massages with strengthening tonics and nourishing compresses. In this case, you can go up to 10 minutes of regular massage, even several times a week.
How often should I massage my scalp?
You can do it every day, but 3-4 times a week for 5-10 minutes is enough to stimulate microcirculation and relax the skin.
Does scalp massage help with hair loss?
It's not a miracle cure, but it improves blood circulation and promotes the absorption of anti-hair loss lotions and tonics, supporting the health of the hair follicle.
Should I always use an oil or toner during a massage?
It's not mandatory: the massage can also be performed on dry skin. However, combining it with a specific product (such as a strengthening toner) enhances the benefits.
Are there any contraindications to scalp massage?
Avoid using it if you have irritation, dermatitis, wounds, or skin infections. If you suffer from any specific conditions, consult a dermatologist before introducing it into your routine.
