How to use it
Apply light pressure and work in small, slow circles from the front hairline to the back of your head for about a minute or two.
Keep it fresh
- Rinse it thoroughly after each use.
- Allow it to dry completely between uses.
- Replace it when the bristles start to wear.
Next step: pair it with a gentle shampoo and make it part of your evening wind-down.
Stop if you notice any irritation, and check with a dermatologist first if you have a scalp condition.
