TRUE OR FALSE: 100 strokes a day for healthy hair.

Ah yes. The advice your grandma swore by. And honestly? She wasn’t entirely wrong.

In Eastern cultures, hair brushing was part of a whole ritual with oiling and scalp massage. It’s actually a beautiful practice.

The problem isn’t the brushing. It’s brushing like you’re trying to detangle a decade of bad decisions in one sitting.

Wrong brush + too much force = breakage.

Right brush + gentle pressure = stimulated scalp, shiny hair, and honestly kind of meditative.

So the real question isn’t “should I brush?” It’s “am I brushing like a civilized human?”

What hair questions do you want answered? I’m here for it 👇🏼
