So, I don't often write reviews, but when something really impresses me--I let people know. I got this for thinning hair as massage brings blood flow to the scalp and is one of the main therapies to regrow and thicken hair. Well, time will tell but the first time I tried it I just happened to have a slight headache--so perfect timing, maybe this will help. Okay wow, not expecting it to be this good. Initially I thought air chambers? Usually, most massagers are mechanical, this has air chambers that inflate and deflate in certain patterns and pressure points that surround your head and it really hits deep (if you strap it on right and crank the intensity to max). The best way to describe how it works would be to compare it to a blood pressure monitor-how it inflates around your arm and really squeezes it-it's sort of like that. It has three different modes and intensities and also heat. It's rechargeable so no cord - nice. All I can say for now is its awesome for headaches and we'll see if it helps my thinning hair but for me this thing is great, I'm going to use it every day just because it's so easy to and it feels so good.

Amazing for headaches! Everyone in my family battles headaches and tension. I thought the TLINNA Head Massager might be a welcome therapy device for those times. It’s been in my home for about a week and it has already been used by every family member. This massager is made from a soft PU material that feels good against the skin. It’s easily adjustable for different head sizes with a strong Velcro strip. It has three massage modes and three heat levels (medium, high, off). The massaging is accomplished by using air compression, but it bears a striking resemblance to the feeling of strong fingers working the head. It’s quite intense, at times a bit more intense than I’d prefer at the temples. The three modes are “Dredging the Meridian” (a technique practiced in Chinese medicine, I had to look it up), “Relieve Fatigue” and “Acupressure”. The three modes are supposed to represent three intensity levels, but I perceived them also to have different focus areas on the head. The massaging action hits spots all around the head. I really appreciate the massaging at the base of the skull, this is a big area of tension for me. I wish there was a way to adjust the intensity of just this area to a higher level (and the temples to a lower level). The heat, to me, was really a secondary feature. I’m sure combining it with the massage had some benefits, but to be honest I didn’t really pay much attention to it. I haven’t had a full-blown headache since this device arrived, but I have had the kind of tension that precedes my headaches. I used the head massager when I began tightening up and feeling the beginnings of pain. It hit all the right spots. It really did help alleviate my tension. Perhaps that’s why I didn’t get a headache. I found that it greatly helped me relax, so much so that I fell asleep twice while using it. You’re not supposed to sleep with it, so this wasn’t intentional, but it was a direct result of the relaxation. On another occasion a member of my family awakened with a headache. I offered the massager to them to use. Within minutes they fell back asleep, so I’m assuming the headache subsided enough to help them relax. This device seems to be effective for me and my household and it has some excellent features I really love. The PU leather is not only comfortable, but it’s also easy to clean. This device is operated with a remote, which makes it easy to adjust and apply settings. Changes can be made while the device is in use, and I don’t have to take if off to do so. It’s powered by a rechargeable battery so it can be used anywhere without having to be tethered to an outlet. The battery is pretty impressive, it lasted for 6.5 sessions before depleting. There may be a couple of things I would like to change on this, but overall I really like it. I believe it’s going to be used a lot by me and my family. About me: Integrity is very important to me. Reviews I've posted will be from items I've had direct contact with. These are my honest opinions. I will not post a review for a product I have not had personal contact with. Read more
It doesn’t help my headaches go away but is soothing and helps me to relax. Read more
It was fantastic the one time I got to use it before it no longer charged. I tried multiple chargers and nothing works. Very disappointing because this would be a game changer product for someone like me who has suffers with migraines for almost 20 years. Read more
I didn’t know i would end up liking this as much as i do now. As someone who suffers from occasional throbbing headaches, i have tried a handful of head massagers from manual ones to modern electronic devices. I wasn’t expecting much from this massager because i thought it was just going to vibrate like some heating pads that i have do. However, this is quite effective. I cannot tell how effective this will be for those severe migraine headaches but it works really well for my throbbing headaches. First of all, i like the soft PU leather material. It feels very comfortable on my skin and i like that i can wipe off the sweat easily after use. The temperature hot compress is a nice feature but if you don’t want the heat, you can turn it off completely. The intensity levels are low, medium and high. When my headaches are bad i use the highest setting which is quite effective. Other times i use the low or medium settings to just relax. It is not quiet but i strangely find the noise soothing. The are 3 different massage modes and each is nice in its own way. I appreciate that you don’t have to stay plugged in to a power source to use this. The battery is pretty good. I can use this for at least 5-6 sessions once fully charged. I like how easy, simple and straightforward it is to use this massager. This is one reason why i have been reaching for this quite frequently. I have some devices that do a decent job but are quite complicated to set up for use and therefore they don’t get many uses but this one is very easy to use and user friendly. Overall, i’m very happy with this head massager and i would highly recommend it. If you suffer from headaches, you will get many uses out of this one. Read more
