As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Scalp health is the newest trend in beauty with more and more brands creating products specifically for the area, including scalp massagers. The small brush-like devices are popping up everywhere and aim to help make exfoliating, stimulating, and cleansing your roots that much easier.

We asked hairstylist Linet Keshishian to find out exactly what these funny-looking brushes are for. "They stimulate circulation, which increases hair growth and health," Keshishian said. Additionally, they make washing your hair way easier.

"For those who have thicker hair or a lot of product buildup, these brushes are great because they really get in there more than just your fingers would," Keshishian said.

Interested in trying one for yourself? We've rounded up some of the best picks with plastic and silicone bristles, ahead.
