Everything about brushing your hair!
We do everything we can to keep our hair healthy and beautiful. A hair mask here, hair serum there, and another trim of the ends and repeat. But we hear very little about how we should brush our hair. In this blog, we’ll take a closer look. We’ll explain why it’s so important to brush your hair the right way.
Shine and volume from brushing your hair
Did you know that brushing creates shine in your hair? By brushing your hair gently , you smooth down the cuticles. When the cuticles lie flat, the hair reflects light, creating a shiny effect. If you have fine hair, you can create more volume by styling it with a brush.
What does brushing do for your scalp?
Brushing your hair cleanses your scalp. It removes dead skin cells, chemical products in your hair, and other residue left in your locks. If you don’t brush your hair regularly, the pores or hair follicles on your scalp can become blocked. This can cause irritation or inflammation on your scalp.
How does it affect your blood circulation?
Brushing your locks regularly also stimulates blood circulation, which can help your hair grow better. Brushing delivers oxygen and nutrients to the hair roots. This not only stimulates hair growth, but also strengthens the hair roots. And strong hair roots mean less hair loss.
What about sebum?
The sebaceous glands produce sebum. Brushing your hair spreads sebum from the roots to the ends. This naturally hydrates your hair. You can think of it as a kind of natural conditioner or oil for your hair. When you brush out this natural oil, you spread it throughout your hair. This helps your hair become stronger, shinier, less dry, and softer. And who wouldn’t want that? Especially when you can do it naturally and for free ;-)!
So which hairbrush should I choose?
Now you know why it’s so important to brush your hair. But here comes the second question: which brush should you use? You may not have thought about it, but the quality of the brush is just as important as the way you brush your locks. We’re putting two popular brushes in the spotlight. With these brushes, you can brush your hair lovingly!
The Knot Dr.
This hairbrush is a must-have for your bathroom cabinet. The Knot Dr. is a paddle brush with no fewer than 212 bristles. Its flexible bristles let you detangle your hair without pulling. The brush has an ergonomic handle for a comfortable grip. Its soft cushion pad lets you detangle your hair painlessly without breaking it. The bristles are extra flexible and give your scalp a gentle massage (good for blood circulation and hair growth at the same time!). And for the swimmers and athletes among us, there are the The Knot Dr. Pro Swim and The Knot Dr. Pro Sport. We all know what our hair is like after a swimming or sports session. This hairbrush makes it easy to manage.
What kind of reviews does The Knot Dr. get?
When you’re buying a new brush, you want to be sure it really does what it promises. Here are a few reviews from people who have already tested the brush.
"A great brush that gets through knots better than others. Definitely recommended."
''The best brush ever! What a lovely brush. It glides through your hair."
''Wow, what an amazing brush; I can’t describe it any other way. I’m one of the lucky people who got to test this brush. When I opened it, I immediately noticed its lovely color. Not a boring brush, just a cheerful color. The description promised a lot. But does it live up to the promise? At first, I didn’t think so. My daughter, with her long locks, really hates having her hair brushed. But that’s a thing of the past now! The brush feels comfortable in your hand, and when brushing your hair, you really notice how flexible it is. The brush pins bend and are anything but hard. So if you push too hard, they simply flex with you. The brush also glides smoothly through your hair. I honestly think it’s a real must-have!''
Tangle Teezer
This hairbrush is a classic! It’s no coincidence that many hairstylists and hair salons choose this brush. The Tangle Teezer is a professional hairbrush specially designed to keep hair from knotting or tangling. This brush doesn’t pull on knots. Thanks to the flexibility of the Tangle Teezer, tangles can be removed gradually and painlessly. This prevents hair breakage. And just as important: the design. There’s a brush to suit every taste. Are you a Hello Kitty fan? Or would you prefer the chic Marble Tangle Grey Teezer?
