The ultimate guide to: hair brushing

While some people see a hairbrush only as a means of removing tangles, there are many other benefits to brushing your hair. In this blog, our Skins Experts tell you all about brushing your hair and which products you can use to take your hair care routine to the next level.

The benefits of hair brushing

Brushing your hair is a simple step within caring for your hair. Since the dawn of time, hair brushes have been used for detangling, styling and grooming. Did you know that besides detangling, brushing your hair is also important for keeping it healthy and shiny? Because by gently brushing your hair, you stimulate the blood circulation of the scalp. This brings more nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles, promoting hair growth. In addition, brushing your hair removes dead skin cells and excess sebum on the scalp. By brushing your hair, the natural oils from the scalp are distributed throughout the length of the hair.



How do you brush your hair?

You start brushing from the bottom of the hair. This prevents the hair from breaking off easily. Work from the bottom up until you are able to brush along the entire length of the hair. This way, you gradually spread the scalp's natural oils and polish the hair. This will make the hair more manageable and shiny, as well as protect it from drying out and damage. Do not brush your hair when it is still completely wet, but make sure the hair is towel dry to dry.

Keeping your brush clean

Investing in a high-quality hairbrush pays off. The brush provides intensive care and restores shine to your hair. A high-quality brush will last a long time, provided it is kept clean properly. Use a small brush with coarse bristles to remove the remaining bristles from the brush. With the Handy Bristle & Nylon BN3 from Mason Pearson, such a brush is included. For a more thorough cleaning, fill a bowl with warm with a few drops of Shampoo. Soak the brush for two to three minutes, rinse and then let the brush dry with the bristles down before using it again.

Larry King - Spoilt For Choice Hair Oil

Besides using a good hairbrush, enriching your hair routine with beautiful products is also essential. The Spoilt for Choice Hair Oil is a multi-use hair oil. The oil can be used as a hair mask or scalp remedy before hair washing, but can also be added after brushing or styling hair. Spread a few drops of the oil along the length of the hair as a finishing touch. Rosemary, jojoba seed, and argan oils condition the scalp, strengthen hair and add extra shine.
