The benefits of using a wooden hairbrush or comb

 

One of the easiest changes you can make when trying to create a more sustainable hair care routine is switching to a wooden hair brush. Aside from preventing plastic waste, there are various other benefits associated with swapping to this wooden alternative that your hair will thank you for.

 

Wooden brushes are naturally anti-static

Have you ever noticed that annoying static when brushing your hair with a plastic hair brush? This is because plastic hair brushes increase the electrical charge of your hair (as opposed to wood which has a neutral charge), and hair is left frizzy as a result. When hair becomes frizzy, the hair strand can dry out and become brittle and damaged. Unlike Plastic which creates static, wood has a neutral charge for smoother hair and is very gentle when detangling your air. 

 

 

Wooden bristles stimulate hair growth

The wooden bristles of the brush are nice and gentle on the scalp, and can really stimulate hair follicles which will promote new growth. The massaging motion on the scalp also improves the blood circulation allowing hair to grow thicker, faster and healthier. Not only this, the bristles feel blissful as they run smoothly through your scalp and can really help with de-stressing!

 

Gentle wooden bristles help prevent hair loss

These bristles are also kinder to knots and tangles in your hair. The fact that they are wide and soft means that they can glide through hair easily with minimal pull and a reduction in breakage and hair loss.
