Oh wow. My father went bald. As a teenager i didnt want that to happen so to my stupid teenage mind it made sense to vigorously massage my head when I washed my hair. It is still lush at 54.
Pretty sure it was just genetics, but i still do the same thing 40 years later and now I am afraid to stop.
We know massaging an area increases blood flow to that area, in turn promoting better cellular metabolic processes. Dermarolling seems to do this through inflicted trauma/irritation to said area. I know one of the actions of minoxidil is a vasodilator.
Checks out. Worst case you just have really clean hair and developed a new daily mindfulness technique.
