Why You Need A Scalp Brush Now

Real Quick: What Is a Scalp Brush?

Simply put, a scalp brush is a massaging tool designed for direct use on your scalp. Unlike regular hair brushes, which seek to untangle hair strands, scalp brushes are more focused on your roots.

Generally, scalp brushes look like palm-sized circular brushes with flexible silicone bristles. Many people keep them in their shower or bathroom on a hook for easy access. And trust us, you’ll always want one nearby.

What Does a Scalp Brush Do?

So, now that we know what a scalp brush is, let’s talk about what it does because the list of benefits is long — we’re going to talk about the top six benefits.

1. Scalp Brushes Help Remove Build-Up and Dandruff

This is a biggie for us. Most people will experience dandruff at some point in their lives, so finding a tool that can help alleviate their symptoms is huge.

Dandruff essentially just means you’re experiencing a build-up of skin cells and oil on your scalp, which then begins to flake off. There’s a lot of reasons why this may occur. Everything from your diet to genetics to your choice in shampoo can impact the health of your scalp and the microbiome that’s always at work on top of it.

As scalp massagers are excellent exfoliators, these brushes may help stop the cycle of dandruff, freeing your scalp of the sebum and yeast cells that tend to overstay their welcome when we see flakes. Paired with a powerful anti-dandruff cleanser, like Jupiter’s Balancing Shampoo formulated with the active ingredient Zinc Pyrithione and a host of soothing natural ingredients, scalp brushes help keep fungal overgrowths and flaking at bay.

Even if you’re not experiencing dandruff, scalp brushes can do wonders for removing excess product build-up and oils from your roots. If you’ve ever woken up in the morning with bed head courtesy of dry shampoo, you know how hard it can be to fully cleanse your scalp.

Scalp brushes facilitate exfoliation and scalp refreshment, so your past product use is never keeping you from a perfect hair day.

2. Scalp Brushes Feel So Good

Okay, we know this one is subjective, but we’ve yet to meet someone who doesn’t love the feeling of a scalp massage. Whether it’s scratching an itch or rubbing up against some tension, a scalp brush is an ultra-soothing way to show your head some care and love.

Try to think about your shower and shampoo routine. Are you rushing through it? Casually slapping some product on, waiting for suds, and then rinsing out immediately? For many of us, wash days just feel like chores.

Scalp brushes encourage us to slow down, work the product into our scalp and hair, and enjoy the moment — the satisfying moment. Trust us, you’ll start looking forward to showers like never before.

3. Scalp Brushes Can Help Stimulate Hair Growth

When we clear our scalp of excess oils and products, we also make way for new growth. Scientists say that exfoliation of that kind can ​​promote hair growth and healthier looking hair overall.

What's more, research tells us that regular exfoliation of the scalp can result in thicker hair. Studies found that stretching the root of the hair with a scalp massage might actually change the genetic expression of that hair strand.

So if you’re struggling with thin hair or complications due to heat damage or chemical dyes, we’d definitely recommend bringing a scalp brush into your hair care routine.

All habits that actually promote a healthier result should feel this good. When they invent the massaging treadmill, let us know. Until then, we’ll be brushing our scalps.

4. Scalp Brushes Help Work Your Products In

As we mentioned before, rushing through your shampoo routine can be a surefire way to miss out on its benefits. It’s not just about taking time for yourself — fully working shampoos and conditioners into your scalp is the only way to ensure you’re reaping the most reward out of your products.

Scalp massagers help us achieve a deep clean, working hand-in-hand with the properties in shampoos that clear away oils and build-up.

Whether it’s because you’re rushing or because there’s one spot on your scalp that always manages to miss some product, scalp massagers help ensure every part of your head is getting the care it deserves.

5. Scalp Brushes Help With Circulation

6. Scalp Brushes Detangle Your Hair

• Remove excess build-up or flaking

• Provide you with an otherworldly head massage

• Now that’s our kind of multipurpose product.

How Do I Use a Scalp Brush?

By now, you’re probably itching to make a scalp brush a part of your hair care routine. But before you do, let’s discuss how to use them because it’s a little bit different than your standard hairbrush.

Before or while shampooing your hair, gently press the brush against your scalp. Move the brush around your scalp in a circular motion, moving from the front to the back of your head.

If you’re looking for maximal exfoliation, dry brushing is the move. If you’re focused on getting your cleanser fully worked into your scalp, use the brush in the shower while you’re shampooing. Bonus: this feels so good.

We recommend using a scalp brush two to three times a week. Use it right before a hair mask or deep clean to really free your scalp of build-up or whenever you need a really good head massage.
