Do you take it for granted that shampooing is done with your fingers? Of course, there is nothing better than being able to carefully wash your hair with your fingers, but it is usually difficult to get the same level of satisfaction from shampooing by yourself as you would from a hair stylist.
Therefore, a “shampoo brush” can be used as an item to assist shampooing. What exactly is a shampoo brush? Here we explain how to use a shampoo brush, along with some precautions.
The role of the shampoo brush is to wash the skin.
Many people wash their scalp when they shampoo their own hair, but often their fingers do not reach the scalp if they have a lot of hair or long hair, or if they think they are washing the scalp, but only around the top of the head.
A shampoo brush is not for washing hair, but for washing the scalp. The reason why it feels so good to have a hair stylist shampoo your hair at a hair salon is because the scalp is thoroughly washed.
Shampoo brush is recommended for
Those who are concerned about sticky scalp.
Those who have a lot of hair or long hair.
Those who want to go to a head spa but cannot afford it.
Those who have long nails.
Those who feel the need to take care of their scalp, such as hair loss or thinning hair.
Those who are under a lot of stress.
If even one of the above applies to you, we recommend using a shampoo brush.
There are many pressure points on the head, so it is more than just washing the scalp clean; you will feel refreshed. It has the same effect as a head massage, so it refreshes tired eyes and stiff shoulders. Another point is that it can be done with less force than a hand massage.
Precautions for using a shampoo brush
Since shampoo brushes are used in the bathroom, they tend to be unclean, and there is a possibility of scratching the scalp due to excessive scrubbing. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to choose a shampoo brush with a shape and material that is easy to clean and that is designed not to damage the scalp.
If the tip of the brush is soft, it is naturally gentler on the scalp, but if it is too soft, it will not be able to cleanse the scalp adequately. Choose a brush with resilient bristles that have some length and are arranged to fit the skin.
Use small increments when washing with a shampoo brush.
When using a shampoo brush, it is the same as usual to pre-wash with warm water first. After that, when the shampoo has sufficiently lathered up, it is time to use the shampoo brush. While holding the brush against the scalp, move it in small, incremental movements to wash.
Be careful not to move the brush in large or circular motions, as this will cause tangling if you have long hair.
