Depending on your needs, a head massage can either last only a few minutes or much longer. If you are at work, it is understandable that you massage your head in a rush. This can already relax you and lower your stress level.
As a rule, the duration of a head massage always depends on the personal needs and time management of the person.
It has been scientifically proven that a scalp massage of 15 or 25 minutes can already have positive effects on blood pressure, stress hormone and cortisol levels. Therefore, with the help of the study, it could be determined that there is no time limit for scalp massages (8).
Some prefer short but more intense head massages, others want to take longer and tend to use gentler movements. As you can see, the ideal duration of a head massage cannot be narrowed down and therefore has to be assessed individually.
