An experiment shows that massaging the scalp for four minutes a day for six months improves the effect of hair loss. At the end of the test period, those who did this had thicker hair.
An observation of the experience of people experiencing hair loss confirms these results. More than 65% of those who did daily scalp massages said that it made their hair grow back and at least reduced the rate of hair loss.
