Do you remember in the old movies where the beautiful girl is sitting in her satin robe in front of a vanity mirror brushing her hair and counting to 100? Did you know that this is not just some old fashioned ritual but something that is great for your hair and your health? Brushing your hair the right way is one of the best ways to have beautiful hair and stimulate your scalp for health benefits.
Daily Brushing
Did you know that daily hair brushing actually does far more cleansing than any commercial, artificial and often toxic shampoo ever could. It also releases and eliminates waste materials from your hair. The deposits of uric acid crystals, catarrh and other acids and impurities that build up and become encrusted on the scalp are removed by daily brushing. It stimulates the capillaries, increases blood circulation and the transport of oxygen and nutrients to the hair stem, root and bulb of the hair. Keeping up with the great habit of daily brushing stimulates hormone and oil-producing glands, which in turn keeps the pores of the hair and scalp open. This allows the hair pores to breathe and retain their natural oils.
Hair loss problems are usually caused by issues of the sebaceous glands – the natural oil-producing and lubricating system of your hair. If the glands are out of balance, they can:
Overproduce sebum
– Hair follicles drown in their own oil, which interferes with the nourishment of the roots. This causes the scalp to be weakened and you experience hair loss.
Or you will Under-produce sebum
– Roots and follicles become undernourished, causing the hair to become dry and brittle and eventually fall out.
Do not allow unnatural build up of synthetic mousses, gels, sprays, shampoos and conditioners to clog the pores and follicles of the scalp. These dangerous chemicals block or reduce the necessary nutrients to the roots and disrupt normal hair growth by scrambling the sebaceous glands’ regulation of the normal fallout/reproductive cycles.
Proper brushing and massage, along with 100% pure and holistic shampoos like those offered byMorocco, helps actually bring the sebaceous glands into balance. Non-toxic cleansing of the scalp and stimulating all the glands and capillaries will nourish your hair to its naturally beautiful glow!
Brushing is actually a form of dry-shampooing. Stimulation from the bristles distributes sebum throughout hair and scalp, making both stronger and more resilient. It’s also an excellent natural conditioner because coating hair with sebum as you brush restores moisture, giving hair added sheen, smoothed texture and greater manageability.
How to Massage Your Hair
Massage your scalp 1 to 3 times a day using a Natural Scalp Massager. Never use plastic or artificial ones — they scratch the scalp and are not helpful for your hair health.
Begin at the nape of the neck where you have the most sebaceous glands, massage gently but vigorously in a circular motion for 3 to 5 minutes or until you feel the scalp tingling from the increased blood circulation.
Combine the external benefits of properly brushing your hair with the internal result of stimulating deeper scalp tissues. The extra efforts will reward you with well-functioning sebaceous glands that produce a balanced sebum secretion.
How to Brush Your Hair
Step 1
Stand erect, then bend over from the waist as far down as you can, allowing the blood to flow into the scalp. This increase in circulation stimulates and nourishes the entire scalp and follicles, activating new hair growth.
Step 2
Firmly grasp your brush handle, moving through the areas of the nape, sides and crown all the way to your front facial hairline. Brush in slow easy strokes for 3 – 5 minutes.
Step 3
Then stand erect again and reverse the process. This thoroughly coats your hair with sebum, allowing the “natural elixir” to condition and add body and luster to your hair.
