Amazing, but true. Washing hair with your hands may cause serious problems.

Here are the reasons you should NOT clean your hair with your hands:

First, you might transmit bacteria and viruses to your scalp. As millions of bacteria and germs live under our fingernails, the simple fact to scratch your scalp may cause yeast infection. A recent study even shows that longer fingernails mean more bacteria leading to Candida Parapsilosis, which is a kind of yeast that can cause wound and blood infections.

Second, your hands may end up more product than your hair. If you are using a special shampoo and/or hair treatment for dandruff, damaged hair or hair loss such as Nizoral, Rogaine, Minoxidil, or other hair masks, your hands may absorb more product than your own hair and scalp. That’s one of the reasons why your hair treatment may not be as effective as advertised.

Third, you simply don’t know or don’t have time to wash your hair properly. Actually, the best way to hand clean your hair is to massage it for about 10 minutes, just like certain hair professionals use to do. Massaging your scalp with the tip of your fingers increases scalp blood flow and promotes hair growth. The issue is that you might get infected if you use your fingernails to wash your scalp.

So, how to properly wash your hair?

The best way to wash your hair is to use a Shampoo Scalp Massage Brush.

The innovative hair tool is a great multipurpose brush. Actually,  best shampooing techniques include this handy brush for optimal results, as it can be used for Shampoo, Conditioner, Waxes, Gels, Pomades, Styling Products and Hair Treatments. So, you can apply your favorite shampoo and, use it afterwards for your hair loss treatment product, for example.

As you won't use your hands with the brush, any product you will apply goes into your hair, so it offers a better scalp absorption. 

If you are enjoying the shampooing part at your hair salon, that's probably because you are falling asleep while your head is given a good massage. Then, take the shampoo brush and rub it in circular motions, as it massages your scalp you will feel like you have head massages everyday.

One of the main reasons to use a Shampoo Scalp Massage Brush is that it increases scalp blood flow and promotes hair growth. Hair follicule stimulation plays an important role in hair restoration. As you gently rub your scalp, it allows veins to enlarge and increase of blood flow. Like muscles, hair can grow if blood is activated and rushes into the targeted area, nourishing the hair and enabling cells to promote hair growth.

The fact you don't use your hands, which may carry nasty bacteria, especially under your nails, makes the Shampoo Massage Brush a hygienic hair tool good for your scalp. It's also easy to clean. Give it a quick rinse with water after use and let it dry by itself.
