These days, most of us work in front of computers, which often leads to mental fatigue and a tense, stiff scalp. Scalp health not only affects hair growth but also impacts the facial skin’s condition.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a saying: “One wrinkle on the scalp corresponds to six lines on the face.” Hair combing can help with this and is one of the most straightforward skin care methods. Consistently following the proper hair combing technique is akin to giving your scalp a massage. In addition to alleviating mental fatigue and promoting hair growth, it can yield unexpected beauty benefits.
