Do electric hair stimulators really work?

[ADB]

Has anybody ever used one? I was thinking about buying it but I was wondering if anybody got good results out of one.

Where have you seen one ADB? It sounds interesting.

I've seen a couple on ebay. They say their suppose to stimulate the scalp the same way a message therapist would.

 

[inthestars]

I think I want to get one.

I would also like to know if hair stimulators work. Here's a link:

I purchased one one on EBAY about a month ago and have been using it daily. I think its too soon to see results but I am being patient. I have always heard that these things work and now I will really have the opportunity to see for myself.

Thanks for the link Nebula24. I'm wondering how much more effective this is than doing our own scalp massages twice each day... Vickid - maybe you can keep us updated on your results.

I have seen them at mall stands.
Arundel Mills has a stand that sells them for $20!

Ok am I the only one that thinks this sounds scary? Is this actual electric volts you are using on your scalp?

 

[moneychaser]

Not really, its like a vibrator(battery operated).

The one's I have seen looks like this, except the green part was MUCH smaller:

That's why they say your hair can't be wet while using it!

It does sound pretty "hair-raising" and risky applying electrical devices directly onto our scalps. I'd hate for anything to get short-circuited... or erased!

(sorry, couldn't resist!

)

Or erased

My friend has one. She let me try it and boy did it feel good. Only think is that it jacked my hair style up!

oh i see it now D. .... well mothers day is coming up ya know

i did see a guy at a both in tha mall by me using this in a ladies hair - i thouht it was weird

I am not sure if it works with growth, but it does relieve tension. It really loosens up your scalp

I don't use mines that often though

Yes they do work. I purchased an electric scalp massager many years back from gold medal and since then it has died, so i purchased another one by wahl and i use it every am/pm for about 2 minutes and on wash day, after greasing my scalp i use my scalp massager for about 10 minutes. I started using it faithfully about 3-4 weeks ago and it really does help because it brings the blood to your scalp. I also regularly do a 4-5 minute headstand every morning before i get in the shower. Barry Fletcher actually suggested using some sort of scalp massager every am/pm which is why i decided to do so and not just on wash day. My hair is natural and sometimes its hard to see new growth, but i can definitely see something. I have always liked the benefits of using my scalp massager. I would always use my scalp massager for about 1 minute on a section of my hair and afterwards when i combed, it would glide through my hair because the massager brought the blood to my scalp and it made it easier to comb my new growth. To each it's own, but the electric scalp massager is definitely a keeper for me.
