The biohacker known for icing his testicles, exchanging plasma, and more over-the-top longevity protocols has presented a surprisingly affordable tool that supports daily health — in a more “enjoyable” way.
In his video “My 11 Health Essentials (To Live To 120+)“, 48-year-old Bryan Johnson explained that he has struggled with hair loss for years. He started losing his hair in his late twenties and admitted that he “struggled over many years to figure out what things would work.” Eventually, he stumbled upon a relatively affordable gadget, better known as a scalp massager.
“This is a new addition to my protocol, and it’s for hair health,” shared Johnson. “I use it three times a day. So when I apply things to my hair, like a growth serum, I use this to massage my scalp; it stimulates blood flow. It’s actually enjoyable and a good practice with good evidence.”
According to Johnson, any generic scalp massager on Amazon should work. The Arboleaf Electric Scalp Massager is a popular option, boasting a 360-degree simulated human finger-kneading scalp massage to cleanse and soothe the scalp. The Arboleaf design is on sale for just $35.
Research indicates that standardized scalp massages (SSMs) can improve hair thickness in both non-balding men and those with androgenic alopecia.

Reviewers rave that it not only “feels wonderful,” but has also delivered noticeable results.
