i never think much about my hair care. even postpartum when my hair fell a lot, i still did the bare minimum to care for my hair. however, after my severe hair loss a year ago, i started to search more about hair care. i started to add heat protectant into my routine and regularly use hair mask. lately, i've read somewhere about scalp care and started to look for a scalp brush. at first i thought that any brush will do, but i stumbled upon a video that warn people not to use any brush for their scalp. in the video, the girl explained that instead of buying a plastic brush, try to look for a silicone tip brush. the tip won't be too harsh on the scalp. long story short, i made a short research about what hair tool and hair care products worth buying before i went to south korea and several people mentioned this brand, dr.forhair. so when i saw they had a scalp brush at oliveyoung, i didn't think twice and just grabbed it. i usually never unbox anything until i went back home, but since it'd be two weeks before going back home, i decided to unbox it while i was still in korea. 

this is the description from their website: a water-resistant handheld scalp massager with 18 soft, silicone bristles that helps with a deeper scalp cleansing while promoting circulation for healthier hair and scalp. its ergonomic design comfortably fits in your hand while having a wrist strap for stable, secure usage. great to use for a scalp massage to keep your scalp healthy and refreshed. solution for deep scalp cleansing, removing product buildup and scalp impurities.

the packaging: it comes in a transparent plastic box with red accent. there's description at the back but it's in korean. but don't worry, there are pictures, so at least you'll get the idea what they are talking about. they seal the top with sticker. since it's transparent, you can see what the brush look like from the outside. since this brush is made of plastic and silicone, it's super light so don't worry if you're buying this online.

the product: as described, it's a round brush that fits in your palm perfectly. the rounded shape makes it easy to grab and hold. there's a strap to secure it, but i rarely use it unless i feel my hand is extra slippery. the spikes on the brush is made of silicone so it looks spikey but it doesn't hurt at all.

the result: the first time i used it, it felt heavenly. like.. why don't i know about this sooner? the spike massages my scalp just the way i want it to be. enough to scratch the itch part but not hurting it until it bleeds. using it in combination with a scalp scaler works wonder for my scalp. 

honestly, this is the best purchase so far from my trip. i boasted about this brush so much that my husband ordered me to buy another one for my sister in law, but i couldn't find the exact same one so i ended up buying from another brand. and another one for my son when we were in japan. anyway, if you're in south korea or you can order online from oliveyoung and you are in need for something for your scalp care, then you should put this brush into your cart order. just try it and you won't regret it.
