Thinning Hair & Excessive Hair Fall

How To Use

1

STEP 1
Gently press and slide the needles of the brush against your hairline, starting from the tip of your scalp above your forehead and backwards in one smooth motion to the back of the scalp, and stopping at the base of your head.

2

STEP 2
Repeat 10 times and cover all areas of the scalp as much as possible.
We recommend doing this daily for at least 5 minutes.

3

STEP 3
You can also slide the needles all the way down the neck for a neck and shoulder massage.

Further Information

For best results, sweep across the scalp twice daily while brushing clean, dry hair. Individual results may vary, but many users start seeing new baby hairs sprout after 3-4 months of daily use.
Apply gentle to medium pressure depending on preference. Sweep from the front of the hairline backwards in a pulling motion while brushing hair, ensuring to make contact with the scalp during hair brushing to activate massage function.

To Clean
Dampen the provided Snow Fox cleaning clothand gently rub the pins. Avoid using strong chemicals that may deteriorate the gold plating.
Do not rinse with water during cleaning to avoid water entering the pinhole.

Safety

Keep pins away from eye area, and do not swing at or strike with this brush.
Avoid leaving heavy objects on top of brush, or resting brush with pins facing downwards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the brush handle made of?

The handle is made with an Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) thermoplastic body, selected for its durability and water resistance, and to keep production pressure off our elderly artists.

Our premium wooden edition brush handle is made of carved beech wood and takes much longer to produce.

Where is this brush made?

Our Gua Sha Hair & Scalp Brushes are proudly made by traditional brush maker artisans in Taiwan.

How do I return this brush?

Due to hygiene reasons and the handmade production, we cannot offer returns or exchanges on this item.

If there are defects, please reach out to us and we'd be happy to assist.

How long will it take to get results?

Individual results may vary, but many users start seeing new baby hairs sprout after 3-4 months of daily use.

For best results, use the brush to stimulate the scalp while using the Tetrapeptide And Ginseng Hair & Scalp Serum.

Can I use this brush everyday?

Yes! It’s actually best used daily, as it can really repair and nourish dry strands throughout the day.
Pair with the Tetrapeptide & Ginseng Hair and Scalp Serum for best results over time.

Can I use the brush on wet hair?

We suggest only brushing clean, dry hair (a bit of moisture is okay) so as not to affect the gold plating over time. This also helps to avoid water getting in the brush via the central airflow pinhole.

Why is there a little hole in the middle of my brush?

It may look strange, but the hole in the brush cushion (not a missing pin) is a pinhole that allows air to flow through (and allows tension for the rubber to press downwards). If air is trapped inside the brush, it can't maintain elasticity during brushing.

The pinhole is made by our artists burning a pin through the rubber by hand and is part of how old traditional handmade brushes are created.

How do I clean this brush?

Dampen the provided Snow Fox cleaning cloth and gently rub the pins. Avoid using strong chemicals that may deteriorate the gold plating.
Do not rinse with water during cleaning to avoid water entering the pinhole.

Will the pins lose their lustre?

Over time, the 24K gold will slowly wear off and be absorbed with use. This is normal and means that you're using it properly (and enough).

This doesn't affect product use or quality at all. We use 24K gold for its softness, health benefits and purity.
