* Untangling Hair: One of the main functions of a hairbrush is to remove knots and tangles, making the hair more manageable and easier to style.
* Cleaning Hair: Brushing helps to remove dust, dirt, dead skin cells, and other debris that accumulate in the hair.
* Distributing Natural Oils: Brushing helps to distribute sebum (the natural oil produced by the scalp) along the hair shaft, which keeps the hair moisturized and gives it a healthy shine.
* Stimulating the Scalp: Brushing can also stimulate blood circulation in the scalp, which may promote hair growth and overall scalp health.
Different types of brushes have been developed over time to cater to specific needs and hair types, but the core functions remain the same.
