Morrocco Method Scalp Massager


I am passionate about healthy hair products. About six or seven years ago I became more aware of how harmful many hair care products were and this led me on a journey of discovery to find out healthy alternatives.
One problem I had was an oily scalp. When I came across the Morrocco Method I was intrigued to learn that Anthony Morrocco recommended brushing and scalp massage for a healthy scalp. In fact he said a lot of brushing and scalp massage was beneficial in treating the causes of an oily scalp. Although this seemed counter intuitive to me I was prepared to give the scalp massager a shot.


About the product:

The massager is made of natural rubber and is made by Morrocco Method. It is 4 - 1/4 " round and very light to hold. It has a handle type nodule in the center which allows the user to rotate the massager over the scalp.

How I tested the product:

I had the original scalp massager that had an oval wooden base and a rope handle, for a few years. The nubs that rubbed the head were thicker. I have been using this new , improved massager for a week and I much prefer it. I use it three times a day following the instructions that it came with. The instructions are simple and easy to perform. Starting at the nape of the neck since the largest concentration of sebaceous glands can be found there, you massage gently in a circular motion. Gradually move over the whole head until you feel your scalp tingling. This denotes increased blood flow to the scalp. This has healthful benefits for the scalp, follicles and hair.


Pros:
  • Easy to use
  • Cheap $7.50
  • All natural 100% rubber
  • On Morrocco Method website there are detailed instructions and videos how to use the massager.
  • Feels good on the scalp, relaxing but invigorating too.
  • Doesn't pull hairs out, so gentle enough for fragile and damaged hair.
  • Seems to relieve tight muscles in the neck


Cons:
None so far.


Conclusion:

So far so good. I like this product much more than the older style massager. This is gentle yet does seem to make my scalp more invigorated. It's too soon to tell whether my oily scalp has responded but I will update later on the longer term effects and benefits.
Disclosure: I am an affiliate for Morrocco Method products. I only endorse those products I have tried and that have passed my test of using non toxic ingredients, good performance and great customer service. In my opinion and after a number of years testing the products out, Morrocco Method attains this criteria.




I give it 4.5 stars out of 5. Time will tell if it makes a difference to my scalp but it feels good and it's so easy to do. Well worth the cost.

Hi Deborah!
Our scalp massager can be very beneficial to those looking to stimulate the scalp. We highly recommend brushing hair daily to stimulate hormone production and oil-producing glands. We are so glad you have found the scalp massager helpful!
Good luck,
Anthony Morrocco
