That's a great question. From what I've read, scalp massages help people who have had hair loss, such as from aging. There hasn't been any studies that shows it will increase hair growth. In my opinion, anything that helps with blood flow and reduces stress can be beneficial. Personally, I don't do scalp massages regularly, but they feel good when I do them.
Here's one study that shows its benefits: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4740347/
I just think it's important that we don't interpret it as it grows hair in everyone.
