Head Massager

Better Than Other Head Massagers! - knittingen "Gen" on Jan 24, 2010 I Like

I am something of a connoisseur of scalp scratchers. I've bought the solid copper ones (happy company, head trip) and the vibrating ones. Those don't really do the trick for me. I light that light, tingly feeling like something is crawling all over my head. The other scratchers I have tried have wires or 'fingers' that are just too thick and/or too rigid. With most, the wires are designed in such a way that I'd have to bend them in just the right way or could come close to hurting myself.
This one has thin, flexible, stainless wires with small plastic nibs at the tips. The wires are not adjustable, but it doesn't matter. I haven't wanted to adjust them. I think this item is simply wonderful; I purchased one at Bed Bath And Beyond and gave it away as a gift (stupid!), then I couldn't find another until I came here to Amazon (yay!).
Note: Unlike the picture, the stem or handle is a textured silver metal, not copper. Doesn't matter to me, though. Feels the same. Awesome.

It Does A Great Job Help Me Relax!! - J. Hu on Sep 8, 2009 I Like

Usually I am too lazy to leave any review. Yet I feel this one deserves it.

It is light and easy to use. The best thing is that when those tips touch my head, it feels better than using my fingers! Not only it covers almost all areas (from what I feel), the touch itself is soft, gentle and relaxing! Regardless what amount of strength you use, thanks to its design, it always gives right amount of pressure.

Try it and you will like it. It makes a great gift for non-believer like me.

Ok - Angela Evans on Jan 5, 2011 I Like

My husband and I have used this product for a couple of days. I don't know what I expected when I purchased it -- certainly not an intense massage that was equivalent to a human masseuse working on my head. My husband, who does not have much hair, says the device tickles too much. I have a good deal of hair and I find the sensations produced to not be too ticklish but soothing, especially on the back of the head.

I would buy this more as a gag gift or a gift for the person who has everything. It can also serve as a conversation piece as it looks a tad strange.

I don't think you should expect this to relieve any chronic pains. I get severe migraines and I did not buy it in attempt to treat those but I was tempted to try it when I had a full-blown headache the other day. It did nothing to relieve the pain.

For the price I purchased the item (3.99), I don't expect it to be long-lasting. The device has little plastic nubs covering the twelve metal prongs. One of the nubs fell off and I had to put some tape on the end. The device looses any level of pleasantness when you have raw metal scraping against your head.

For those that care about the country of origin, this product was made in China.

Nice Head Massager. - Bagira on Oct 18, 2009 I Like

I like this product, especially my husband!! Very often, before falling asleep he asks me to use this massager on him and he almost purrs like a cat and later falls asleep ;-))

Oh My Goodness!!! - E. Williams "dew dro on Jun 16, 2010 I Like

I'd never tried one of these scalp massagers before, and only ordered it so I could get free super saver shipping on an order. For $3 and change, I figured what the heck! So last night I opened the package and tried it out. I was sighing in contentment when my daughter (age 24) told me to please stop making those noises - it made her uncomfortable to hear her mother groaning like that. This thing is wonderful. And it works on knees and shoulders also! Any "round" area of your body. I'm going to buy a bunch more for holiday stocking stuffers. What a great idea!!!

FEELS AMAZING ON YOUR HEAD! - Chris on Dec 26, 2010 I Like

OHHH YEAHHHH OMG OMG WOW WOW WOW OHHHHHHHH OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHH

That's how using this on your head feels. Buy it if you want to feel that.

A++ WOULD BUY AGAIN!!!

I Got My Few Dollars Worth, And More! - Mrs. Snurgle on Nov 6, 2010 I Like

For the price of this product, expecting a salon-quality scalp massage is unreasonable, but I'm a bit obsessed with having my head touched, massaged, rubbed, teased...whatever. So this was a must buy. I get 3-4 headaches per week, and this gadget is nice for relieving some of the tension. As another reviewer said, your scalp quickly adapts to the sensation, and the nice, tingling feeling only lasts for a couple of minutes, at best. The rubber guards at the end of the wires seem pretty secure--none have fallen off.

Here are some other random uses for it:
- Cat toy and scratcher.
- Stylus for your PDA or mobile phone (the handle has a pencil-like shape to it).
- Antenna for your old-school television.
- Beating eggs.

Ok, I was being facetious. In all honesty, however, this scalp massager was a great buy. Try it!

Oh Yeaaaaa - E. Bagerman on Mar 9, 2010 I Like

I got tired for massaging my fiance's head so I got the Scalp Massager and let me tell you - nothing has worked better. He LOVES this thing. And I love it b.c. it works and was so cheap. I'm not a scalp massager expert so I'm not sure if others will comment that it's flimsy but I think it's pretty great.

Pleasantly Tingly At First, Then Good-scratchy - pseudonym, the tyran on Feb 2, 2010 I Like

Supposedly, regular scalp massage stimulates blood flow to the brain and also helps hair growth. Well, I don't know about all of that, but I certainly find using this scalp massager relaxing and pleasant! I put it to the test as soon as it arrived (about 10 minutes ago) and, let me tell you, it feels gooooood. The first few strokes produced a tingly feeling all the way down my spine, but then the effects wore off and it just felt good-scratchy. This little doohickey has tiny plastic nubs on the tips of the wires, so you don't have to worry about being too rough, and the design allows it to reach all the way to the back and sides of the head if you position it correctly. If you're buying as a gift, I would recommend picking up two- one as a gift, and one to keep for yourself!

Awesome For Short Durations - EliasBwick on Sep 8, 2010 I Like

This scalp massager is just great. I got mine and liked it so much that I ordered a few for my friends. Anyone who has used it really likes it. It sensitizes and relaxes although I have noticed that you lose a little feeling after a couple of minutes of massaging. For longer duration try rotating the massager in addition to moving it laterally.

PS: I am a bit dismayed by this "targeted pricing". When I ordered it, the price was just $2 but every time I have come back to order another, the price has been higher. Its up to almost $5. Still worth it though...

Different Packaging, Great Product - D. Myers on Apr 12, 2010 I Like

I have bought this item (in quantity) as I am a massage therapist. When "head tinglers" first came out, they were awful--claw shaped, not soft tipped ends, and sometimes they could make your scalp bleed. But these new designs, originally from Germany, are exquisite and work really well. I have tried it on some of my clients (30+) and only one did not like it.

This makes an excellent gift to anyone who has a head. I have also resold them to my clients.

One small thing, this new packaging company should scold whoever did the label. It is very unprofessional to have a misspelling on the outside of the package. (especially the word "massager" since it's the title of the product)

Many happy head tingling to you all!

This Feels Wonderful. My Clients Love It! - Therapist0109 on Sep 13, 2010 I Like

I decided to go ahead and order this item only because it was being offered at such a good price for purchasing my Wahl Percussion massager with heat. I tried it and then I had my clients try it and they loved it. One client stated that it felt so good she put it down then picked it up and massaged her scalp again. I clean it after each client of course, but I just leave it sit out so they can use it themselves if they choose. They always do. Feels wonderful.

It's Great, But Better If Someone Does It For You - Amazonka on Aug 24, 2010 I Like

It's a good item and it feels amazing on the scalp. Sends shivers down the spine. The only thing is that doing it yourself is not nearly as relaxing as someone else doing it. So I would say that if you're already getting a massage, this adds another wonderful relaxing element.

Hairgasm! - G. S. Reed on Nov 17, 2011 I Like

I cannot believe how good the scalp massager feels! It's actually embarrassing to use it in front of someone else. Best 3 bucks you'll ever spend.

Great Basic Head Massager For The Price - Julia Wagner on Jun 10, 2010 I Like

Lets say I've owned a couple scalp massagers in my time; I'm a sucker for the relaxing, tingly feeling they impart. But it seems they always get lost in a move or something, so I jumped on purchasing this one while it was on sale. This scalp massager has less of a pronounced handle and grip than others, but it doesn't make much of a difference. I only wish they could design them so that the wires didn't stretch out over time.

Amazing - K. McClarren on Jun 8, 2010 I Like

this product is amazing it releives stress as soon as I use it. I would recomend it to anyone

Head Massager - Mary Kay Peters "Mar on Apr 27, 2010 I Like

Very relaxing, a little 'chintzy' but effective. I got 2 (cause previous reviews said they were flimsy). The boyfriend loves it (as long as I do it for him).

Wow - Travis Jenne on Feb 25, 2010 I Like

I had another head massager, this one works leaps and bounds better than the other. fantastic.

Disappointed - april on May 8, 2011 I Like

I gave this gift to my boyfriend for his birthday. He's wanted one for while now. I expected he would love it. Unfortunately, the plastic coating on the tips do not apply enough pressure.

Almost Unbearable! - Angell on Dec 8, 2011 I Like

First of all I misunderstood the use of this when I placed the order. It says it is a head massager but for some reason I was thinking head scratcher. When I tried it out I could barley stand to use it because it tickled so much! You have to be rough with it in order for it to be bearable.
It would help if the prongs were less flexible and provided some sort of resistance. I'm not upset about the purchase since I paid less than $3 for it. I just want you all to know that it doesn't really massage anything.

Thanks, Reddit!! - AtTheLeftThere on Nov 16, 2011 I Like

Someone on Reddit posted a picture of this and at first glance it looked like a home abortion kit. Once I found out what it was, I took the Redditor's word on the thing, and bought it. It's awesome!! Now to invent one that will do it automatically until you fall asleep...

I Purchased This From AllTopBargains - ShinSageR on Oct 19, 2011 I Like

There are a lot of different distributors, and I chose AllTopBargains because it was like $3 and the shipping was free without having to get to $25. Anyways, yeah, I got what I paid for. What they sold doesn't massage my head at all. Just a bunch of...wires on my head. That's it. But hey, at least it was three bucks and not $20 or something.

Not Very Good - Stephanie Staton "st on Jul 8, 2011 I Like

The item just isnt quite what I expected. The wires are very thin and have little resistance. It feels more like it is tickling my head than massaging it.

I Love It - Larisa on Jul 6, 2011 I Like

I did not expect such a result from this flimsy device, but it works beautifully, I find the massages very enjoyable and it affects the head blood circulation. I would buy more for the gifts.

A Little Lighter / More Flimsy Than I Expected... - BadZen on Apr 6, 2011 I Like

...but it does the job. Some of these I've seen aren't constructed properly and don't give you the "ooooo, that's nice"... but this one works. Good value assuming the plastic tips don't fall off - exactly the problem I had with the last one I owned (different model).

OMG You Will Love It - TN MOM on Dec 26, 2010 I Like

I bought this for myself and my daughter for Christmas and we have been fighting over it since it arrived. I just wish I could attach this to a wall and put my head inside of it and let a battery powered massage take over so that I am hands free. Can someone design something like this please?

Ocutpuses Garden! - E. Byrne "Betsy Byrn on Aug 26, 2010 I Like

I bought two of these, since I know my husband loves his head rubbed. He keeps his right where his car keys are, and uses it morning and evening. I have Cerebellar Atrophy, which causes LOTS of headaches, so I wanted something like this to circulate. It is so good, mine is bent up now from using it so much, (which is still o.k., because it molds to how you want it to be) I can straighten the spines, and it's fine, if I wanted to, (it's perfect for me how it is now though) Like a comfortable couch that has finally formed to your body. I just love mine, and I know my husband loves his. Now, I want to try other 'types' because I know this one feels so good!

Pretty Cool! - Blue Eyed Girl on Aug 25, 2010 I Like

I purchased this, because it was on sale for $3 and it's pretty neat! My 7-year-old loves to use it on his scalp. It tickles when you first begin to use it, but after a minute or so, it's very relaxing. It would be perfect to use while winding your child down at the end of the day (or even yourself, for that matter). I wouldn't pay full price for it, but for 3 bucks, ya can't beat it!

Ooohhhs And Aaahhhs! - Cricket "Living life on Jul 21, 2010 I Like

If you haven't tried one of these scalp massagers before, you don't know what you're missing. I've always enjoyed it when my boyfriend runs his fingers through my hair and this gives is just about the same feeling, but a little better! It's very relaxing and a nice little way de-stress. Quite often these are sold in mall kiosks for $20+, so purchasing here on Amazon for under $5 is a great deal!

Helps My Headaches! - Ferrin Sanders on Jun 20, 2010 I Like

I discovered this product by accident at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I tested it at the store and was instantly hooked. They also had another, more expensive, brand of head massager with a wooden handle which did not feel good at all. I had never before heard of a scalp massager, but it's an amazing invention! This thing feels awesome. I keep it by my laptop and use it several times per day. I am afflicted with chronic headaches/migraines and, to my joy, I find that this thing makes the pain go away while I'm using it. The pain comes right back after I stop, but to have relief for even a few minutes is wonderful. I guess the delicious tingly sensation temporarily short-circuits the pain (or causes a distraction from it).

I bought my first one 2 days ago and then went back yesterday and bought 3 more for a spare and gifts. I can't handle using this on my knees and elbows--way too tickly--but it is simply divine on my head! Obviously, not everyone will be as thrilled with this product as I am. For example, my son (age 22) said it gave him chills and was interesting, but he has no desire to own one. My husband hasn't tried it yet because he's out of town, but I expect he will love it. Does anyone know why the tip of the handle has a sharp point? Are we supposed to use the pointed tip as part of the message, sorta like acupuncture? I haven't been using that part.

Update on Nov. 10, 2010
I have been using this for several months now (briefly, almost every day)and I still love it! My husband loves it, too! It feels great if you do it to yourself and even better if someone else does it to you.

Does What It Suppose To Do, Increases Blood Flow To The Scalp - Alex Hernandez on Apr 9, 2010 I Like

For the price it's great. After using the computer for long periods of time, or when I feel a lot of pressure I use this and it works for me because it feels so good. I will be ordering another one for work. It does work on your elbows and your knees too, but feels best on your scalp. I have amazon prime, so I got 2 day shipping free, I love amazon prime well worth it. The only thing is that the little tiny points seem like they may wear off after time, but for [...] bucks, I'll just buy another one when that happens. It feels even better if someone else uses it on you. I've seen these at flea markets and shows, but was always embarassed to try it, that thing looks weird but all I can say is that it works.

What A Sensation! - Kenneth L. Plaizier on Mar 12, 2010 I Like

The first time I felt this, it provided an unexpected sensation, which I quite enjoyed. Now I share with everyone! Such a simple concept, yet what a wonderful, relaxing feeling!

Awesome - sneakysnake128 on Feb 10, 2010 I Like

This thing is amazing. Using it sends shivers up my spine (the good kind), and it even helps me go to sleep. I also got this for 5.99, so it was definitely worth the price. Any higher and I would say that this isn't worth it, as other reviewers have suggested.

Not At All What I Expected - jam on Jan 14, 2011 I Like

I bought this as a gift for my husband. It was a lot smaller than I thought it would be, and also VERY flimsy. It doesn't give a good massage at all. the wires aren't strong/stiff enough. It won't last for more than a few attempts at a decent massage. I thought it would be as good as, or at least close to, other head massagers that I've used, but it doesn't even come close. I would not recommend this product. waste of money. One plus though, was that it arrived quickly!way to go shipping!

Oh How Very Nice! - Beartheattorney on Jan 2, 2012 I Like

There is a lot of bliss to be had here for under four bucks. The massage is quite nice and relaxing, but it should only be used in the privacy of your home-- you will look ridiculous using it and the moaning and sighs of relief will upset others around you... or so I hear.

A Strange But Cheap Winner! - Shane Windham "autho on Dec 27, 2011 I Like

I intially bought this as a cheap gag gift for my girlfriend. But we both use it pretty regularly at the end of most work days. This is the sort of thing you accidentally leave sitting around that your friends and family will spend long amounts of time attempting to deduce its true use. So I'd say it's worth the asking price, if only for its entertainment value. Luckily though, this product delivers much more than expected. It has helped alleviate a number of stress headaches. And with only a $5 asking price, I'd say that makes this a steal!

Husband And I Love It - Jackie on Dec 18, 2011 I Like

I bought this for my husband for Christmas. I love using it and he loves it too!! It is so simple but feels amazing on your head, gives you goose bumps. The price was very good, overall quality seems good, have only had it for 24 hours so lets see how long it lasts (hopefully awhile).

Love It But Gets Old - D. Gilbert on Dec 16, 2011 I Like

I love using it but after awhile, it gets really boring to use. Always someone you want scratching your head is way better so this comes in handy when no one is around to do it for you.

Addictive - Jill Morris on Dec 16, 2011 I Like

I decided to try this product since I love head massages and I often get headaches. Plus, I was only a couple of dollars so I thought, "Why not!?!" I must say I wasn't expecting much. However, I was extremely well pleased with the product. It is definitely well made and boy it feels so good on my head. I bought it for myself; however, my husband is addicted to it and my kids like it too. I liked this product so much that I bought a few more for friends and family. It is definitely a great deal, even though it looks a little weird. I only marked it 4 stars because I am not sure how long it will last (I've only had mine for a couple of weeks now) and it is not something that can be easily put into a drawer. Otherwise, super product!!!!

Excellent Product, Very Pleased! - Nikki on Dec 15, 2011 I Like

My fiance & I are AMAZED at how good this thing feels (gave even my thick skinned fiance the goosebumps!) and how inexpensive it is. VERY much worth the $2.89. You don't usually find such good quality and effective products as this for such a reasonable price anymore... this seems like a steal!

I Love This...but A Word Of Caution - Illinois mom on Dec 15, 2011 I Like

I love this thing. I love when anyone touches my head/hair so this was a perfect item for me. Feels great. HOWEVER....I would not let a child..a 5 year old child, be in control of this item. My daughter was going to do something "nice" for me...make mommy feel better since I had a cold. She started out good, but then she moved to the side of my head, and started moving it a little fast...as far as freak accidents happen, one of the metal "fingers" went into my ear and pierced my eardrum. So, there I was with blood comming out of my ear, super, high pitched sound like feedback from a speaker, and pain. I have permanant hearing loss, nerve damage and I still have tinnitus 4 months later. So....have fun, enjoy. It really feels good....but...choose wisely who massages your head!!!

Not What I Expected...in A Good Way! - Michelle in NY on Dec 7, 2011 I Like

I ordered several things from amazon a couple days ago for christmas gifts for people however I ordered this for mysefl because well...I like head masssages and it was a decent price, I for some reason thought it took a battery and when I opened it was a little confused until I tried it! this thing is one of the coolest little gadgets I have ever seen! at first it tickled and gave me goosebumps then everyone that was at my house when I opened the box tried it and we all agree that its awesome! I used it tonight while I was relaxing watching t.v. and its really relaxing and for anybody who liked someone to play with their hair or for those guys out there that love the feel of finger nails real light on their scalp...this is for you! I think this might be the best three dollars I have ever spent!

Didn't Feel A Thing - Canthespam on Nov 4, 2011 I Like

I was very disappointed with this so called scalp massager, especially after reading the reviews. Truthfully I didn't feel anything, nor did my husband. It is way too flimsy and ightweight to do a decent job. I returned it because I don't need anything useless gadget taking up space.

Best $3 I Ever Spent. Worth Much More. - I. Hall on Sep 11, 2011 I Like

I got this because people on reddit were raving about it in a thread about the best products on Amazon under $20. It qualified for Amazon Prime, so I took the risk (I'm broke, but I could spare $3).

I'm glad I did! This thing feels AWESOME on my scalp, and my wife loves it as well.

We tried it on a couple of friends who hated it, so not everyone probably will... but I love this thing.

Flimsy, Doesn't Work, Cheaply Made - 8cp1 on Jul 21, 2011 I Like

I have used a few scalp massagers and this one is definitely the flimsiest, most cheaply made one I have ever seen. It is very light and looks like it should cost $1 in a street market. The wires are exceedingly thin, to the point that they do not offer sufficient resistance to massage the outer part of your head, and frequently fold inwards onto themselves, causing the whole contraption to get stuck instead of moving downwards. I used this one three times and put it away, probably forever. I do not recommend it at all.

Good Massager. - Zalmorion "Zal the M on Jun 28, 2011 I Like

What can I say that is novel here? This massager feels good. It could be firmer for a more penetrating massage, but the device is made with quality parts and is sturdy enough to give a pleasing head rub. The little nubs on the end of the metal bars feel very nice, like a gentle scratching. The device retains its shape after many uses, and has not bent or broken in the months I have owned it. Very happy with it. :) Buy it. It is one of the few cheap products truly worth spending money on.

Smaller Heads Prevail - H. Back "Amazon Momm on Jun 25, 2011 I Like

This works great for my 7 yr old son, but for an adult size head the longer fingers of the device lift away from your head when you push down on it.

Thank You!!!! - MonicaV on Jun 24, 2011 I Like

I suffer from fibro, amongst other things. I took this out of the box and tried it. It was a great price for TWO! I am taking one to work with me and keeping one at home. I already love this! Who would have thought, such a little thing would help so much. Its not the miracle cure, BUT it sure does help. Thank you again!

Everyone Should Have One. - Marty Durham on Jun 19, 2011 I Like

Saw this on Dr. Oz. When I saw the woman's face, I knew I wanted to try it. It is great! Try it.

Mediocre At Best, But You Pay For What You Get Right? - Wendy on Apr 30, 2011 I Like

The product is mediocre at best. It is very flimsy, it does access your trigger points on the brain but it doesn't press down hard enough. Considering how it's only 3.95, i can't really complain. But, i would recommend getting one that's less flimsy.
