The scalp massage brush from BAMBUA is a high-quality massage brush for massaging the scalp.
The product is very attractively designed, moisture-resistant and made of bamboo . Silicone and stainless steel knobs are also used in its manufacture. The massage nubs made of vegan, bpa-free silicone ensure a pleasant and comfortable massage effect on the scalp and, according to the seller, also create an anti-dandruff effect and promote blood circulation. Overall, a long-lasting product can be assumed due to the use of very high-quality materials.
When massaging the scalp, the pores are opened and the foam can be distributed well thanks to the widely spaced pimples.
The environmental friendliness of the product is particularly positive: in addition to the sustainable product components used and climate-neutral production , great importance is attached to sustainability . Together with partner EdenProjects, a tree is planted for every brush that is purchased. The product packaging is also made from recyclable materials.
An e-book that deals with the correct use of the brush and provides information on the topic of “healthy scalp” is also included in the product scope.
Overall, it is a high-quality and very well thought-out product that can make a significant contribution to your own well-being and relaxation in everyday life .
Advantages
- Pleasant massage effect
- Sustainable use of materials, environmentally friendly product concept

When you hold the product in your hand for the first time, you immediately notice its weight. The brush feels neither too light nor too heavy, which indicates the use of high-quality materials.
The silicone massage nubs are spaced relatively far apart. The nubs and the silicone handle feel elastic and of high quality.
You can tell from the smell of the product that the wooden component of the product is made of bamboo.
Two stainless steel knobs on each side of the brush secure the silicone handle to the brush. The knobs are large enough and make a very sturdy impression.
The brand name appears to have been laser-engraved into the wood and perfectly rounds off the modern yet high-quality appearance of the product.

The scalp massage brush from the BAMBUA brand was subjected to a practical test in the shower .
The materials used in the manufacture of the product are of consistently high quality. The silicone is very soft to the touch and creates a pleasant massage effect. The silicone nubs are also bpa-free and vegan. The stainless steel knobs are very sturdy and the bamboo panelling of the product looks elegant.
A pleasant massage effect was observed during the practical test . The pimples are easy to guide over the scalp. It is also positive to note that an e-book is included in the scope of delivery, which supports correct use and contains further tips and tricks. This guarantees correct and maximally effective use.
Due to the processing of the materials, the product is easy to clean and therefore hygienic. The cleaning water reaches every nook and cranny of the product so that no dirt or foam residue remains.
The scalp massage brush is available in a total of 4 different silicone colours (black, white, green, pink) so that you can choose from different designs to suit your taste.
The design of the product is modern and timeless and looks very elegant . The brush fits well in the hand, but there are slight deductions because of the silicone handle: this is a one-size-fits-all handle that cannot be adjusted in size, so the brush is not ideal for very small hands as the strap does not rest firmly on the back of the hand. However, this disadvantage can be easily compensated for by gripping the brush with your fingers and the heel of your hand.
In terms of user-friendliness, the product is completely convincing , as it can theoretically be used immediately after unpacking.
All in all, it is a well thought-out, beautifully designed product that impressed us in the practical test with its stability, sustainable production and packaging and a pleasant massage experience.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.6 stars. In some cases, the price is criticised as being a little too high. On the other hand, the fact that the product is soft and soothing and has a high-quality finish was emphasised positively . In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the high-quality massage brush produces a pleasant massage effect and is flawlessly manufactured. The criticism from consumers that this is a high-priced product is basically justified.
Prices of up to €10.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products (without eBook). Very affordable products are available from as little as €9.99 . The scalp massage brush from BAMBUA is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €9.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good, as additional high-quality components such as bamboo wood have been used in this product.
