A method of regenerating hair growth, including the steps of engaging a scalp area with an edge of a flexible member, reciprocating a portion of the flexible member through a stroke length along an axis of at least ½ inch at a rate of at least 1,500 strokes per minute, with the flexible member portion being spaced from the scalp area and the axis being oriented in a direction parallel to tangential to the engaged scalp area, and repeating the engaging and reciprocating steps until hair regeneration begins. An apparatus usable in such a method includes a handle, a drive secured to the handle and reciprocating along an axis relative to the handle, and a flexible massage member secured to the reciprocating drive. The massage member has an axial portion aligned with the axis, and a silicone massage portion extending laterally from the axial portion to a scalp engaging surface, with the massage portion being substantially flexible in the axial direction. The flexible massage member extends a lateral distance X and an axial distance Y, where X>Y, with the axial distance tapering down from a maximum axial distance at the axial portion to a minimum axial distance at the scalp engaging surface.
