The 3 best hair growth tools you need
Similar to acne, hair loss is a very individual process, varying in causes and manifestations from person to person. Factors such as hormonal issues and genetics can contribute to hair thinning or loss, impacting people mentally and emotionally.
If you have searched at least once on Google for hair growth serums or tools, you may have noticed that there are hundreds of products on the market. At the moment, probably the most trending product is rosemary oil, which is great, but if you are looking to elevate your hair growth routine, here are the best hair tools that you can use in the comfort of your home without breaking the bank.
Why am I losing hair?
Chunks of hair on your brush or bathroom walls can be scary, but this may not be a case of hair loss. Shedding and hair loss are two different processes.
At any given time, about 80–90% of your hair is growing, and 10–15% is in a resting phase, where it doesn't grow or fall out. Every couple of months, the resting hair falls out and new hairs grow in their place. That’s why you may notice a few hairs when brushing, but this is normal.
However, sometimes you may be shedding a little more than you usually do, and this process is usually a response to a stress aggressor and will resolve itself in a few months.
Unlike shedding, hair loss happens when something stops the hair from growing at all. The most common cause of hair loss is hereditary or a medical condition called alopecia, which can affect all the hair in the body.
If you are combating hair thinning and/or loss, here are a few tools you can add to your haircare routine:
1. Scalp massager
Silicone scalp massagers are one of the few trends that are worth the hype. These affordable tools can increase blood circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles, which can encourage hair growth. One study showed that daily scalp massaging increased hair thickness over a period of 24 weeks.
Larshaircare scalp massager has soft silicone bristles that do not break or damage the hair. The design makes it easy to grab and use, and the bristles are created to facilitate a rich foam and help with oil absorption when used with a hair growth serum.
2. Dermaroller
Microneedling at home with a derma roller is a popular method, especially among those who struggle with post-acne scarring. However, microneedling can be very beneficial, even for hair growth. The process involves using a derma roller with at least 0.5-mm needles to create micro-injuries that trigger our body’s healing ability and blood flow. As a result, derma rollers can promote the regeneration of hair follicles, leading to thicker hair over time.
In addition, this effective tool can increase the absorption of topical treatments like rosemary oil.
Our derma roller is made with 540 high-strength medical-grade stainless steel needles, ranging from 0.2 to 3.0 mm and has been clinically proven to effectively stimulate regrowth and maintain a healthy head of hair.
3. Hair Bottle Comb
Hair oiling is another trending technique that deserves all the hype, but many people are doing it wrong. To facilitate an easy and even distribution of the oil, use our Hair Bottle Comb. The unique design of the comb, with its evenly spaced teeth and narrow nozzle, allows for precise application directly to the scalp, ensuring that the oil reaches the hair follicles and nourishes your strands with ease. In addition, the massaging action of the combs can enhance nutrient delivery to the hair follicles.
