5 Reasons Why You Need To Be Brushing Your Hair

We all know you have to brush your hair to detangle it, but did you know there are some serious scalp and hair benefits too?

For optimal results, we recommend gently brushing your hair twice a day - morning and night. If you’re too aggressive with your brushing, you’ll end up causing breakage, and nobody wants that.

Read on to learn 5 Reasons Why you need to be brushing your hair!

Loosens up the yucky stuff

Product build-up (like Dry Shampoo) can block new hairs from growing in and cause your scalp to become irritated. Gently brushing and exfoliating the scalp will break up and loosen the build-up and prevent this.

You’ll get a better wash

Brushing your hair before you get it wet in preparation for washing will give you a better and more efficient shampoo. It will also prevent more breakage when it’s wet!

Gets Rid of Dead Hair

We all shed hair every day - on average, about 50-100 hairs. When you brush, it loosens up those dead hairs and removes them.

Stimulates Blood Flow

Giving your hair a nice brushing is like giving your scalp it’s own massage. When you stimulate the scalp, it increases blood flow, hair growth, and the overall general health of your scalp.

Gives you healthy, shiny hair

Brushing helps to distribute the natural oils from your scalp along the length of your hair, which helps to moisturize and protect it.
