Many believe that brushing hair several times both in the morning and night can stimulate the scalp to produce sebum, essential oils that would eventually reach the ends of the hairs. The result would be a healthier, softer hair, with no split ends. Some even say that the roots of the hair may eventually become stronger and, consequently, hair loss would be diminished.
However, this kind of mindset should be a thing of the past. Since our daily hair care includes a large variety of products especially designed to maintain and even increase our hair’s health. There’s no need to delude ourselves we’d get the same results by over-brushing or the 100 brush strokes. On top of that, all the oil and other impurities that would make it impossible for our scalp to breathe properly can be removed by shampooing and using a conditioner.
100 strokes method might have worked centuries ago, when people used to wash the hair only once a month. Good thing for us, we already have all the beauty products available in the market that are meant to take care of our hair all year round, with awesome results. But whatever you believe just remember, not to comb or brush your hair when it is still wet because that’s when the hair ends are three times weaker than usually, and thus easier to damage.
