The Key to Healthy Hair and Scalp: Exfoliating Scalp Brush
A visit to the hair salon means a fresh haircut, vibrant colors, an hour or two of relaxation, and—perhaps most importantly—a scalp massage. This is not only unbelievable. It also makes you refreshed and energetic.
You can enjoy an exciting message without waiting for the next salon appointment. You can use a simple tool to reproduce the experience at home: a scalp brush.
The silicone brush is covered with soft, elastic bristles. Use it to gently massage the scalp, and then apply detergent and conditioner to the hair. Using this tool is the basic element of having a healthy scalp.
In this guide, learn which type of brush is best for stimulating the scalp, the benefits of scalp brushes and how to use one brush most effectively.
What is a Exfoliating Scalp Brush?
The scalp is a small hand-held brush, usually with soft silicone bristles. It also has other names, such as scalp scrubber, shampoo brush, or hair massage brush.
Different from traditional hair brushes, scalp brushes are not intended to smooth or comb the hair, but as a mild alternative to scrubbing the scalp with nails. They are mainly designed for wet hair (although they can also be used for dry hair). Scalp brushes are usually made of silicone or plastic, and are used for non-slip grasping in the shower.
Is the Scalp Brush Useful?
You may want to know: Is scalp brushing helpful for dandruff? Does combing your hair help dry your scalp? If used correctly and used for its intended purpose-massage the head, remove dead skin and product accumulation, and apply products-silicone scalp brush is like a charm.
So what's your biggest concern: Does brushing your scalp help your hair grow? Some studies have shown that massagers can thicken hair by stretching hair follicle cells, while scalp massage can reduce stress hormones (the kind that leads to thinning hair).
In the final analysis, scalp brushes are not magic tools that can help you grow a few inches in a few weeks, but they can help your hair become thicker and healthier.
Benefits of scalp brushing
(1)Scalp exfoliation helps to remove dead skin and product accumulation. Regular scalp detoxification is essential for a healthy head and hair.
(2) Stimulate and stretch hair follicles to make your hair stronger, thicker, and healthier. Because the blockage of hair follicles can lead to problems such as dandruff and hair loss, stimulating and removing these hair follicles with a scalp brush can do wonders for your hair health.
(3) Reduce tension and stress. Similar to body massage, scalp massage can also bring mental and physical benefits. Massage your head with a brush can reduce muscle tension, relieve physical stress, and even be used as a natural treatment for headaches.
(4) Reduce dandruff. Surprisingly, dandruff may come from dry scalp or excessively greasy scalp. What is the cause of scalp oil? Usually, this is the result of daily shampoo, which will remove sebum from the hair. Then, your gland will run over speed to replace it. Using a scalp brush can reverse the cycle of oil overproduction. On the other hand, if you are excessively dry, the scalp brush can exfoliate and remove dead skin.
(5) Increase the blood circulation of the scalp. This helps to deliver oxygen and essential nutrients to hair follicles, thus reducing hair loss.
(6) Apply the product evenly to the whole hair and go deep into the scalp. If your hair is thick, it is difficult to treat products through your hair and scalp with your fingers only. Using a head scrubber can help you apply the product directly to your scalp, which is most beneficial to your hair.
(7) Thoroughly rinse the products on the hair to reduce product accumulation. Just like using products on hair, it is difficult to thoroughly rinse the cleaner or conditioner with your fingers only, especially if the hair is particularly thick or curly. Brushing your scalp in the shower helps ensure that there is no residue.
Which type of brush is best for stimulating the scalp?
The best scalp massage brush is a brush that can achieve a delicate balance: the bristles must be gentle enough not to irritate the scalp, but hard enough to relax any dry skin and product accumulation. Soft, burr-free silicone bristles are usually ideal for stimulating the scalp and improving blood circulation.
Reminder: Since scalp brushes are usually used in showers, it will also be helpful if the brush has an ergonomic, easy-to-hold, non-slip design.
