While there aren’t studies linking jade combing to specific outcomes, there is some evidence to suggest it may have some benefits.
Hair Growth
Hair loss is a complex issue that can be caused by a number of temporary or permanent conditions. However, increasing blood flow in the scalp does appear to generally support hair growth, according to research.
For example, one small, short-term study published in 2016 found a daily four-minute scalp massage improved hair thickness. More research is needed to confirm this connection, but so far it seems promising.
Preventing Split Ends
Wide-tooth combs, like jade combs, have been linked to protecting hair from breakage. Along with using an oil, like coconut oil, this may help prevent friction and keep you from developing split ends.
Relaxation
Massage is a well-known way to promote relaxation and relieve tension. Studies show massage has therapeutic benefits, like lowering blood pressure and reducing anxiety.
This suggests there may be similar benefits to using a jade comb for scalp massage, but keep in mind these studies weren’t looking at scalp massage specifically or at jade combing itself.
