The Benefits Of Brushing Your Hair

 

1. Prevents Your Hair From Falling Out

Don't want to go prematurely bald? Then, your hairbrush should be your best friend. Your capillaries will start working as soon as you brush your hair. As blood makes its way through your head, oxygen makes its way through each strand of your hair and keeps it growing and flowing. 

2. Keeps Your Hair Strong 

Brushing your hair doesn't just ensure that your hair stays in. It also ensures that it grows and prospers. Through brushing, the oils in your hair are spread easily and do what they need to do. As a result, your hair will look absolutely beautiful. 

3. Keeps It Clean 

Think of how much dust and dirt gets into your hair on a daily basis. It might be unpleasant to consider, but it's a real possibility. Even if you don't have time to fully wash your hair with shampoo, you can still clean it up by brushing it.

4. Gives Your Hair A Shinier Look 

Want to give your hair a spellbinding glow? Don't worry about using expensive shampoos and conditioners. Instead, a hairbrush can make a tremendous difference. 
 

How To Properly Brush Your Hair

 

1. Get A Proper Brush 

What you brush with is as important as brushing itself. The bristles should be naturally-derived and soft on your hair and scalp.

2. Stand Properly 

When brushing, you should be standing bent over at your waist. The reason why is that blood rushes to your head the further you're bent. When brushing, position the brush at your scalp and move it upwards. 

3. Be Consistent 

You can't expect to see any meaningful progress if you're brushing once a week or less. Instead, it should be a trice-daily activity.

4. Get Rid Of Tangles 

Don't use your brush to get rid of tangles. That can put a lot of strain on both your hair and the brush. Instead, you should get rid of tangles with a comb before proceeding with the brush.

5. Massage Your Scalp 
 

You don't need a brush for this. Run your fingers all along your scalp with as much pressure as possible. This is another great way to keep the blood running to your scalp. 

6. Understand Your Hair 

Not everyone has the same type of hair. So, not everyone will brush theirs the same way. Just make sure that you understand all the work and care that goes into your hair.
