Does a Derma Roller really help with Hair Growth?

Dealing with hair breakage, thinning edges, or slow hair growth is not one of things any girl has on her to-do list. Amongst the many solutions trending around like using onion water, rosemary oil or even Aloe vera gel, a derma roller might be exactly what you need.

This simple tool is becoming popular among women in Nigeria for improving hair growth naturally.

What Is a Derma Roller?

A derma roller is a small handheld tool covered with tiny needles. When you gently roll it over your scalp, it creates micro-injuries that:

• Stimulate blood flow
• Boost collagen production
• Improve absorption of hair products

Derma rolling helps regrow edges, thicken thinning areas and boost natural hair growth but to begin using one, you'll need these; 

• A 0.5mm derma roller 
• Hair oil (castor oil, rosemary oil, or coconut oil)
• Disinfectant (like methylated spirit)

Step-by-Step: How to Use a Derma Roller

 

•  Clean Your Scalp

Make sure your hair and scalp are clean to avoid infections.

• Disinfect the Roller

Soak it in alcohol for 2–5 minutes before use.

• Section Your Hair

Divide your hair into small parts so you can reach your scalp properly.

• Roll Gently

Roll the tool over your scalp, front to back and side to side

• Apply Hair Oil

Immediately after rolling, apply your oil; your scalp absorbs products better after derma rolling

• Clean Your Roller Again

Always disinfect after use.

Mistakes to Avoid

• Pressing too hard
• Not cleaning your roller
• Using it daily, 1-2 times weekly works great
• Using it on dry or dirty scalp

 

Taking care of your natural hair should always be part of your routine even when you love the convenience and beauty of wigs. Using a derma roller consistently can help stimulate growth, strengthen your edges, and keep your scalp healthy over time.

The goal isn’t to choose between protective styling and natural hair care, it is to combine both. While your wig gives you that flawless, chic look, your real hair underneath should still be growing, thriving, and well cared for.

That’s why pairing simple treatments like derma rolling with quality, comfortable wigs makes all the difference. While you enjoy your beautiful and breathable premium fiber wigs from 10by10styles, you can protect your hair, reduce manipulation, and still look a 100 every day.
