The ultimate guide to: hair brushing
While some people see a hairbrush only as a means of removing tangles, brushing your hair has many other benefits. In this blog, our Skins Experts will 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 an essentialstep in caring for your hair. Since the beginning of time, hair brushes have been used for detangling, styling and grooming. Did you know that besides detangling, brushing your hair is also essential for keeping it healthy and shiny? This is because gently brushing your hair stimulates 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 of 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 can brush along the entire hair length. This way, you gradually spread the scalp's natural oils and polish the hair. This will make the hair more manageable and shiny and protect it from drying out and damage. Do not brush your hair when completely wet, but ensure it is towel dry to dry.
The most beautiful hairbrushes from Skins' collection
Mason Pearson - Handy Bristle & Nylon BN3 and Pocket Bristle & Nylon BN4
The Mason Pearson brand has created the highest-quality hairbrushes for over 100 years. The brushes from this classic English brand are also considered the 'Rolls Royce' among hairbrushes. The Mason Pearson Handy Bristle & Nylon BN3 is the ideal brush for normal to thick hair and short to medium-length hair. This hairbrush is made from a combination of boar bristle and nylon. Boar bristle can absorb and distribute the hair's natural oils well, and it is very gentle on the hair. Nylon is a firmer material that serves to detangle the hair.

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 the brush is kept clean properly. Use a small brush with coarse bristles to remove hairs from the brush. Such a brush is included with the Handy Bristle & Nylon BN3 from Mason and Pearson. For a more thorough cleaning, fill a bowl with warm water and a few drops of shampoo. Soak for two to three minutes, rinse, and let the brush dry with the bristles facing downwards before using it again.
Larry King - Spoilt for Choice Hair Oil
Besides using a good hairbrush, enriching your hair care routine with great products is also essential. For example, the Spoilt for Choice Hair Oil is a multi-use hair oil that 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 the hair and add extra shine.
