My father mentioned it caused hair loss but EVERY other article I read said it promoted hair growth or it did absolutely nothing. My father said balding sources told him that it thins hair when your massage your scalp. Hair stylist’s opinion’s needed!

Excessive rubbing can damage your scalp, but unless you are scratching it with a vengeance it’s not going to cause your hair to fall out. It’s going to irritate your scalp and promote dandruff, but it’s shouldn’t fall out or promote growth. hope i helped
VERY gentle massaging of the scalp for maybe 30sec-min during a warm shower stimulates the hair follicles. However I do not recommend doing this while your hair is dry because the hair is less “flexible” around your finger and is liable to be damaged. It does work. I am not a hair stylist but I do have very frickin long hair..=P Best of luck!
It can promote hair growth if done the correct way.

I used their method to stop my hair loss!
hey eric instead of rubbing through your hair, simply move your skin on your scalp in a circular motion, if you rub through your hairs you could risk accidentally pulling them out. Rubbing your scalp in a circular motion is many times more effective in stimulating blood flow and virtually zero risk of pulling any hair out.
This treatment is not a miracle cure, but you may believe it is when you see the results. You will not regrow all of your hair overnight, this method requires several weeks before you see any significant change in your hair. Just keep at it, do this twice every day and before you know it your hair will be thicker, longer, and stronger.
