Hair brushing: the right way to do it
For shiny, healthy hair, you should brush your hair every day and at least twice a day. However, you shouldn’t brush for longer than 2 minutes to avoid damaging the outer and middle layers of the hair – the cuticle and cortex. You should also avoid brushing your hair when it’s wet as water makes it more likely to break.
Why should you brush your hair?
- Brushing your hair morning and night boosts blood circulation in your scalp. This is important for hair growth
- Brushing removes dead cells and any residue from styling products
- Brushing your hair stimulates the sebaceous glands and evenly distributes the sebum from the roots to the tips
The result? Stronger, healthier hair.
