Our hair guru friend Philip B. thinks granny may have been on to something with her prescription to brush hair 100 times a night. ‘Attached to every hair follicle is a sebaceous (oil) gland, which produces sebum. Sebum is a natural lubricant for your hair and is specific to the hair, as good food is to our health. Brushing moves the fatty moisture, clearing the scalp and feeding the hair with each proper stroke of the brush, resupplying the hair shaft with its needed moisture. Brushing also removes dead skin and debris from the scalp, helping to clear the follicle for proper growth, as it stimulates circulation. Done with a gentle, constant rhythm, the brushing also relieves stress.’
