Stress often manifests in the scalp, reducing the level of nutrients that can reach the hair follicles, resulting in dry, dull hair and, in extreme cases, hair loss.

Enter the Denman D6 Shampoo & Shower Massage Brush, which costs just £3.50 on Amazon. It's received nearly 4,000 five-star ratings from shoppers who claim it eliminates flakes, promotes hair growth and offers a soothing massage for even the most sensitive scalps.

A massaging scalp brush could be a helpful solution if you're looking for a new way to maintain healthy hair. When it comes to exfoliation and removing dirt, dead skin cells and product build-up, brushing is more beneficial as fingernails tend to scratch and sensitise the scalp.

It's also a great way to truly relax, as a scalp massage is an essential self-care technique to reduce tension held in the scalp.

Lightweight and flexible, the scalp brush from Denman evenly massages the scalp area, sloughing off dead skin and oil, which can cause dandruff. The brush's easy-grip handle offers maximum control, making it easy to use in the shower or bath.

The extra-soft plastic pins stimulate the scalp, boosting the circulation of follicles. And we all know a healthy, a flake-free scalp not only improves the speed of growth but increases the strength of hair shafts. Plus, scalp massagers allow hair products to work better.

Shoppers who deal with dandruff and troubled scalps have described it as 'the solution to flaky scalp' and 'a shower must-have', noting that the Denman D6 Shampoo & Shower Massage Brush also refreshes the scalp while delivering a relaxing massage.

'This is an amazing brush,' one reviewer wrote. 'I purchased as I was looking for something to exfoliate my scalp. I suffer from seborrheic dermatitis, which means I have a chronic itchy scalp, and when it is really bad, I can have scabs in my head that weep.

'I use Nizoral Shampoo, which is a godsend, and I thought I would try this out for those times when I just need a good scrub and to stimulate blood flow which promotes growth.'

They added: 'It's really great and absolutely does the job, really hits the spot and made my scalp feel smooth, squeaky clean and flake-free.'

'Love it so much I bought a second one for my mum,' another customer shared in their review. 'Really gets into your scalp and exfoliates in such a satisfactory way, not in a painful way. So much less hair breakage and damage.

'Amazing at evenly spreading product through your hair like masks and oils. Brilliant. Be warned though, it looks like cheap rubbish, but it is amazing.'

Users also say the  Denman D6 Shampoo & Shower Massage Brush is excellent for detangling hair whilst in the shower.

'Okay, I LOVE this,'  one wrote. 'I use this to comb conditioner through my hair, as my hair is so thick that I can't get my fingers through it enough to get all the strands and layers.

'This brush has absolutely changed my hair. ALL of it is conditioned and moisturised.'

Another agreed, adding: 'This scalp brush really helps in detangling and thoroughly cleaning my shoulder-length hair. I also suffer from psoriasis, and I have seen a huge improvement in my scalp condition.'
