WHY PROPER BRUSHING IS SO IMPORTANT Other than the
primary function of brushing or styling hair, hair brushing serves
several other important purposes; cleaning and massaging the skin, and
stimulating the release of a beneficial oil called sebum. Sebum is
released by the sebaceous gland at the base of the hair follicle as a
result of the gentle hair tugging action caused by brushing. Brushing
the hair cleans the hair shaft, follicle, and skin by removing trapped
scale, dirt, and oils. Brushing also distributes the Sebum, coating,
lubricating, and protecting the hair shaft resulting in a healthy glow
or sheen and more flexible hair. Because sebum protects and
moisturizes, regular brushing results in hair that is healthier, more
manageable, and easier to style. All of Chris Christensen Systems
