IT’S ALL IN THE BRUSH
When it comes to healthy hair, how many times have you thought about your hair brushing habits?
If the answer is not very often, it’s time to start. Although we all do (or should) brush our hair every day, the benefits of hair brushing reach far beyond smoothing and detangling bed head. To get the most out of your daily ritual, a quality hair brush that is built for your hair type is worth the investment.
Find out the benefits of hair brushing and the our best brush favorites to get the most out of each!
STRENGTHENS & SMOOTHS
Regular, gentle brushing helps distribute naturals oils from root to tip to encourage smooth hair and strengthen hair follicles. It reduces tension and stress on strands from knots and pulls and allows your hair and scalp to relax.
For the perfect everyday brush, Janeke is our gold standard. They make a variety of options for all hair types and textures. Get it online at Boyd’s.

BRUSHING STIMULATES THE SCALP
Think of it like a mini massage. Brush bristles work to stimulate capillaries increasing blood circulation in your scalp. It also breaks down dead skin cells (hello, exfoliation!), product build-up and dirt - which reduces dandruff and oily hair. This encourages the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the hair stem, which can help with hair growth and manageability!
Go extra lux with the Mason Pearson Boar Bristle Brush, or opt for the sensitive scalp Be-Bop from Denman for a more wallet-friendly version.

STYLE AND SHINE
The foundation to scoring that Victoria Secret blowout? A round brush. Styling with a round brush molds and shapes your hair style, adding that voluminous “oomph” you’re looking for and extending the length of your blowout and smoothing out frizz.
Our favorite is the Spornette Round Brush, you can choose from the ceramic ionic versions or classic rounder styles
