Silicone Shampoo Brush & Scalp Massager
As low as $5.94 (regularly $10.99)!
You definitely can’t put a price on self-care, so when something so highly rated and affordable comes your way, there’s no question it’s worth a try.
Last year my Hip sidekick Bryn and I tried this scalp massager to see what all the fuss was about, but it left us pretty underwhelmed at first. However, I’m back to report some amazing team feedback from two of my other Hip sidekicks on this product and how it’s completely changed their hair care game! 🙌🏻
This scalp massager is intended for washing your roots, scrubbing your scalp more thoroughly, easing itchiness from dry scalps, and promoting better circulation. Plus, it’s supposed to feel super good too, so who wouldn’t want to try something like this for such an inexpensive cost?!
Here are some other key features that drew our team to this scalp massager:
- The amazing reviews. When something has over 115,000+ 5-star reviews raving about a product, it’s hard to resist!
- Ergonomic design. Easy to use, lightweight, and fits perfectly in your hands.
- Better for your nails. Whether you have thin nails or don’t want to mess up your perfect polish, this scalp massager won’t damage your fingernails.
- Some versions hang up to dry. Other scalp massagers we’ve tried come with a convenient string so you can hang it in your shower to dry, which is also more sanitary.
So is this scalp massager all it’s cracked up to be?
For my Hip sidekick, Bryn and myself this thing wasn’t love at first use. 😞 We were dreaming about getting daily scalp massages from this gadget, but we found a bit of a learning curve when we put it to the test.
At first, we felt it didn’t do a sufficient job lathering hair. It also got easily tangled, and overall just felt cheap. Thank goodness for free Amazon Prime returns! 👏🏻
BUT… our Hip teammate Emily absolutely loves this scalp massager!
“After looking up ways to rid my scalp of some pesky dandruff I’ve been experiencing through the years, I landed upon this scalp brush as one of the most effective treatments. Oddly enough, I remembered how Sara didn’t like this brush but figured I’d give it a shot anyway. Plus, I was desperate to get rid of these flakes! 🙈
To my surprise and delight, this scalp massager has worked so great!
Especially in conjunction with some dandruff shampoo that I use maybe once a month. I keep the scalp scrubbing to small circles so I don’t overly tangle my hair. I’ve noticed I shed a little more hair in the shower, but there’s less dry hair on my actual hairbrush. So, I feel like it’s loosening up those weaker strands while washing vs. having them fall out while brushing.
My fiancé loves this scalp brush too! So while I understand it may not be for everyone, I’m happy to sing its praises.
Oh, and I’ve been flake-free ever since using it!! 🤩“
Emily reminded me that just because one person doesn’t like something doesn’t mean someone else can’t love it! 🙌🏻 Kind of like that time, I threw my old Always Pan under the bus when I bought Caraway cookware, but also shared how our recipe blogger, Lina, still loves hers!
All of that said, if you have a dry scalp or fragile hair, you may find that this scalp massager is exactly what you need!
On a side note, we even think it would work WONDERFULY on any short-haired dogs too!
This could become your dog’s new best friend, since it’s perfect for scrubbing and very easy to hold while you wash your pup. Although I don’t have a dog to test it out, many of our readers have commented that it works great for this purpose too!
Hip readers tell us that they love it too…
I love mine! Have seen new hair growth. I have long hair as well but I don’t twirl it or use it in a circular motion but kind of a brush in short back-and-forth movement to stimulate my scalp and get rid of residue. – Hip Reader, Candy72
I have this same one and have been using it for almost a year. I love it! I wash my hair and then use it after I rinse to massage my scalp and make sure I have worked out all my conditioner. I have super long, thick, curly, hair, and this has been amazing! – Hip Reader, Colleen
My husband uses one for his beard and his hair and it works great for him. He likes it. – Hip Reader, Tams

I’ve had one for about a year and I love it! I feel my hair is not so oily especially at my roots. I love how good it feels!
So glad to hear you’re loving it, Kristi! 🙌 Awesome that it’s helping keep your roots less oily too—definitely a win! Thanks for sharing your experience! ❤️
I have really short hair and it feels amazing! I have a different one than shown, but it’s the same thing. Mine had instructions on it for long hair and it has to be done differently. You can’t really do the circles you can on short hair. I didn’t pay attention to those, so no help there.
Onto dogs!
There is a channel on YT called Girl With the Dogs and Girl With the Dogs 2 where she uses something called a zoom groom on dogs & cats to brush out dry hair. It’s the exact same thing! I tried it on my cats and you wouldn’t believe the amount of hair that comes off some of them. It doesn’t work on some hair types, but it does on shorter hair animals. Even if it doesn’t help, the animals, they love the feeling. Going to try it on my rabbit, but I think the Queen of the Apartment may be less enthused.
Overall, it does work and for more than one thing!
Thanks for sharing your experience, Speedy T! 🤗 It’s so interesting how it works differently for short hair versus long hair! Love that you’re using it on your pets too! I also have one that I use on my dog and he loves it! 💞
Also love mine and my daughter uses it too. We use it more for a thorough cleaning than a massage. If you start at the hairline near your forehead and work your way backwards in a line (doing circles or side to side scrubbing in sections), it will lather well, avoid tangling, and get your hair clean. If you find it’s not lathering well for you, add more shampoo. Is this the most comfortable gadget in the world? No. Does it do a better job cleaning your hair than just using your hands? Yes. Worth trying it? Absolutely.
Great to hear it’s been a hit for both you and your daughter! 💗 Thanks so much for the amazing recommendation!
