Hair brushing is a common practice that helps remove tangles, distribute natural oils, and promote hair growth. However, excessive brushing can damage hair and lead to breakage, split ends, and hair loss. Over brushing can also irritate the scalp and cause inflammation.
The frequency of brushing depends on hair type and texture. Fine hair is more prone to damage from over brushing, so it should be brushed less often than thick, coarse hair. Curly hair also requires less brushing, as excessive brushing can disrupt the natural curl pattern and cause frizz.
