Is the “100 Brush Strokes” Trick Real? A Simple Hair Tip for Shine + Scalp Health (Mount Pleasant, SC)

You may have heard the old advice about brushing your hair 100 strokes — and there’s actually some truth behind it.

Gentle brushing helps stimulate the scalp and increase blood circulation to the hair follicles, which supports healthy growth by helping deliver nutrients to the follicle.

It also helps distribute your hair’s natural oils from the scalp down the hair shaft, adding natural shine and light protection.

Does brushing your hair stimulate growth?
Brushing doesn’t create new hair, but a healthy scalp environment matters. Gentle, consistent brushing can support scalp health and reduce tangles and breakage — which helps hair look fuller and healthier over time.

Tip: brush before shampooing.
Brushing before you wash can help loosen flakes, lift product buildup, and detangle so shampooing is more effective.

Worried brushing will make your hair oily? That’s usually your sign it’s time to shampoo — especially with fine or thin hair.
