Remember that old wives tale about brushing your hair 100 strokes to get it to grow and/or shine? Well its true. But only if you haven't washed your hair in about three weeks.
In Beauty School our clientele was 80% age 70+. I don't know why exactly these old ladies believe that showering erases your soul, but the point is, they are not washing their own hair. This generation was reared to brush the natural oils throughout their locks to keep them healthy and shiny. Scientific brushing has been taught in Beauty Schools for decades to keep this natural remedy alive.
Brushing your dirty hair with a boars hair brush will exfoliate the dead skin from the scalp and distribute the natural oils down toward the dry ends where it thirsts for this smelly healing nectar. The problem is that most of us shampoo long before our scalp has enough time to produce enough oil to reach the ends anyway, so we have to find another solution. Conditioner*.
