Brushing properly is scalp care in practice: it spreads the scalp's natural oils to the lengths, revitalises the scalp and relieves the hair roots. What matters is the right brush, for example with boar bristles or wooden pins, and the right technique. Both are part of the YELASAI care concept.
Why brushing your hair can make sense if you have hair loss
Many people fear that brushing your hair when you have hair loss is counterproductive. In fact, it is a widespread myth that regular brushing increases hair loss. When you brush, usually only the hairs that are already at the end of their natural growth cycle fall out. Used correctly, scalp brushing can actually help to support the scalp and hair health.
Brushing the scalp – effects on hair roots and scalp
Regular hair brushing can easily be built into your everyday life as a gentle routine and can have numerous benefits for hair health and hair growth. Long combing is an age-old ritual that has been largely forgotten today, even though it can support the natural function of the scalp.
-
Invigorating the scalp
Rhythmic brushing movements invigorate the scalp. At the same time, they may support microcirculation in the fine vessels around the roots. As a result, hair follicles could potentially be better supplied with oxygen and nutrients, which in turn can create favourable conditions for a stable hair structure.
-
Regulation of sebum and oil
When brushing the scalp, excess sebum, dirt, dandruff and residue are loosened from the pores and distributed along the hair lengths. This can help balance oily roots and care more naturally for dry tips. Regulated sebum production supports the balance of the scalp and contributes to a healthy skin milieu.
-
Support of the lymphatic system
The scalp is integrated into the lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing metabolic products. Gentle brushing can stimulate this process and support the natural relief of the scalp. This can create an activated, well-cared-for scalp feel.
-
Releasing stuck fascia
Beneath the scalp lie fine fascial structures that can harden as a result of stress, tension or lack of movement. Regular brushing can help to mobilise these structures and improve the mobility of the scalp. A flexible scalp is considered an important prerequisite for the optimal function of the hair roots.
-
Stimulation of hair follicles
The mechanical stimulus from the brush acts directly on the hair follicles. This stimulation can support the activity of the root and accompany the natural growth processes. What matters is an even technique and choosing the right brush for hair loss.
Which hairbrush is right for hair loss?
Choosing the right brush plays an important role in gently stimulating the scalp and supporting the hair follicles. We particularly recommend our boar bristle brush, because its natural bristles gently stimulate the head without irritating the skin.
Unlike plastic bristles, it applies only light pressure, distributes the natural sebum evenly and so can ensure a well-cared-for, healthy scalp while being gentle on the hair structure. The fine boar bristles massage the scalp in a targeted way, which can gently stimulate microcirculation without putting strain on the hair.
For different hair types, we offer suitable sets that combine the brush with matching hair care: the Basic Set for short hair with boar bristle brush for fine or short hair, or the Basic Set for long hair with boar bristle brush for longer hair. Ask your local hair growth specialist for advice on the right scalp brush for you.

Brushing correctly is essential for healthy hair
We recommend that you treat yourself – and therefore your scalp – to 3 minutes a day: you are welcome to brush for longer and more often, but at least 3 minutes once a day supports the function of your scalp in the long term.

Hair brushing and Ayurveda – the holistic approach
Hair brushing fits perfectly into the Ayurvedic approach, in which scalp care, energy flow and holistic stimulation play a central role. The gentle massage activates the hair muscles, stimulates the scalp and supports the natural balance of hair and scalp.
Combined with professional 12-week support from our specialists, brushing can be ideally integrated into comprehensive scalp care. Together with targeted Ayurvedic scalp massages, this creates a holistic ritual that can promote hair growth, scalp health and hair vitality at the same time.
Complementary care after brushing your scalp
After brushing, we recommend using special products to intensify the care and nourish the hair optimally. Our hair tonic can be applied directly to the scalp to stimulate the hair in a targeted way. In addition, an oil to promote hair growth can round off the care and leave your hair supple and healthy strand by strand.
Combined with shampoo, conditioner and other hair oils, regular use supports the natural shine and vitality of your hair. Our practical hair care accessories make daily use easier and round off your care routine.
Frequently asked questions about scalp brushing with hair loss
What benefits can regular hair brushing have?
Regular scalp brushing can help to invigorate the scalp and gently loosen excess sebum, impurities and dead skin cells. It can also gently stimulate the hair. In this way, the natural balance of the scalp could be supported. The hair roots could then be better supplied with nutrients, so that your hair can look healthier, more supple and more vital overall.
How often should the scalp be brushed?
For lasting support of the hair roots, we recommend brushing for 3 minutes daily. Longer or more frequent uses are possible, but a noticeable effect is achieved with at least once a day.
Which brush is best for hair loss?
We recommend the boar bristle brush, as its natural bristles gently massage the scalp, distribute sebum evenly and stimulate the hair follicles without putting strain on the hair.
Can brushing intensify hair loss?
No, when brushing, generally only hairs that are at the end of their natural growth cycle fall out. Used correctly, scalp brushing cannot intensify hair loss but rather promote the health of scalp and hair.
