"We've all heard the recommendation: "If you want healthy hair, be sure to brush 100 strokes a day." But quite the opposite is true; the less you brush your hair, the better.
When the "100 strokes a day" method first materialized, people washed their hair with soap just once each month, or once every three weeks if they were wealthy and had a lot of time on their hands. Serious brushing was needed each day to remove dead skin from the scalp and to evenly distribute the scalp oils down the hair shaft. Without brushing so many strokes a day, this oil and debris would have built up on the scalp, leaving the hair looking dirty and unkempt. In addition, the ends would have become dry and brittle unless a substitute oil were applied. And, since scalp massage wasn't widely practiced, circulation to the scalp would have been diminished, seriously hampering healthy growth.

Fortunately, today we wash our hair much more frequently, and with slightly acidic shampoos that don't swell the hair shaft and cause cuticle damage.

Too Much Brushing
The greatest damage we do to our hair on a day-to-day basis is too much brushing. Excessive brushing wears away the hair's cuticle - its protective covering. The cuticle becomes "roughed up" and catches on other hairs, causing mats and tangles. If the cuticle continues to erode, the inner cortex will be exposed and wear down, seriously weakening the hair. Once the cortex goes, the hair is likely to split and break off.

Choose a Comb
For women with shoulder-length and longer hair, and especially those who chemically process their hair, it's best to use a brush only when you absolutely must. Instead, invest in a wide-tooth comb that's perfectly smooth. Use the comb anytime you would normally use a brush - to detangle, style, or to "comb out" before bed. Be very gentle, and always start combing from the bottom of your hair and work your way up as you undo any snarls. (Before you buy: compare prices on wide-tooth combs.)

When combing your hair, you're more likely to take your time instead of "ripping" through it like you would with a brush. That's because a comb won't slide through tangles, even with a lot of force, like with a brush. You have to gently work out the tangle, which is ultimately better for your hair.

Scalp Massage
Scalp massage is much more effective than brushing for promoting circulation, plus it doesn't affect the hair shaft if done properly. To encourage hair growth, be sure to massage with a mixture of thyme, rosemary, lavender, and cedarwood essential oils in a carrier oil such as grapeseed or jojoba. With regular use, this mix has been proven to correct temporary hair loss and promote new growth (Archives of Dermatology, 1998; 134:1349-1352).

Since the only way to "repair" split or severely damaged hair is to cut, it makes sense to prevent the problem in the first place. The first step is simple: ban the brush and opt for a wide-tooth comb instead."

That's from the Brady Bunch where Marsha is brushing her hair a hundred times a night to get it softer and more abundant, but that's actually not true. If you think about it, it doesn't really make sense to begin with, as brushing your hair that often actually makes it fall out. Brushing it a few times would help it look better and take out some knots, etc, but excessively doing it would make it fall out and ruin any of the other benefits. But eggs do help because they contain oils that give your hair a better sheen.

Yes, brushing your hair or massaging your scalp helps stimulate hair growth. But brushing your hair a few times is enough. You don't want to brush your hair too often because then you can break it causing split ends, and you can make it very brittle.

I'm not sure if eggs help hair growth but it defiantely makes you hair look shiny and healthy as well as avocados and mayonaise.

Just the egg yolks. The whites actually having something in them that inhibit growth, unless cooked thouroughly.

And you dont have to brush a100 times a day. the reson is that you are stimulating your scalp blood and hair follicles when the hair is pulled by the brush.

You can also massage your scalp or have someone do it for you. it feels real good.

There are many methods to make our hair grow faster, shine , glitter in natural ways without using chemicals. Learn here https://bitly.im/aMLOq Men, and sometimes women, notice that their hair is thinning prematurely for several different reasons. Age, menopause, pregnancy, genetics, illness, and other factors all play a role in hair loss. Sure, you can use drugs or you can go in for a hair transplant or fusion, but sometimes the easiest, most inexpensive solution, is to try to stop hair loss naturally.

Eggs are good for the hair, but brushing it so much actually breaks ur hair so I wouldn't reccommend it.
