]]> sere-self.jpgOne of the well-spread myth of hair care is the 100 Brush Strokes to achieve healthier and shinier hair. I’ve heard it said that subjecting your hair to brushing of 100 strokes will help initiate natural body oil to be secreted from the scalp and the act of brushing will spread it onto each strand straight down to the tips.

If there’s something I’ve observed about brushing, it’s the frizzy state it can create on the hair with the static generated from frequent rubbing, particularly when it’s the wrong sort of material for a brush you are using. So, yea, it is important to take note of the kind of brush you use on your hair.

Interestingly, you don’t really need to brush one hundred times to get a shiny hair because it can be achieved in just 50 brush strokes, all the same. There you go. With half the effort, you will get the same result. Minus the potential danger of breakage, inducing damage or ending up with a dry and frizzy hair. Quite the opposite of what you originally planned, yeah?

Bento Beauty Tip: Never hurt to pick up the habit of de-tangling before going to bed, methinks.
