Do you dream of thicker, stronger hair? The brushing technique is a natural method that improves hair health by stimulating blood circulation in the scalp. The technique is designed to strengthen hair follicles, increase volume and awaken dormant hair follicles. All you need is a Massage Brush and a few minutes every night to give your hair the best conditions to grow.
How the Brush Technique Works
When you brush your hair using the Brushing Technique, blood circulation in the scalp increases. The blood supplies nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles, which strengthens the hair and helps them grow thicker and longer. The erector spinae muscle, which is located at the hair follicle, is activated and becomes stronger, which gives natural volume as the hair is lifted from the scalp.
This is how you do it
Brush your hair 60–100 times every night.
Brush in all directions – from the front, back and sides.
Use a massage brush made of natural materials.
It is gentle on the hair and contributes to increased blood circulation without damaging the hair strands.
For curly hair: Use our Circulation Comb to massage your scalp without damaging your curls. Place the comb on your scalp and make a wave motion, 60-100 times, to get your blood flowing.

Yes, it is common to feel itchy or experience oily hair when you first start using the Brushing Technique. This is because the scalp is getting used to the increased stimulation and sebum production may increase temporarily. Some people may also notice that brittle hairs fall out – but this is a natural part of the process as new, stronger hair grows out.
Yes, the Brushing Technique works for all hair types, whether you have thin, thick, curly or straight hair.
For those with curly hair or if you want to vary your routine, our Circulation Comb is a great addition. The comb increases blood circulation in the scalp and acts as a gentle alternative to detangling your hair before brushing.
