Hair brushing, as a verb, refers to the act of passing a brush through one's hair. It is a commonplace practice, with most people brushing their hair daily to maintain its health and appearance.
Regular hair brushing helps to distribute natural oils throughout the hair strands, preventing split ends and breakage. It also removes dirt and debris, stimulates the scalp, and promotes hair growth. One key historical development in hair brushing was the invention of the hairbrush itself. Early hairbrushes were made of natural materials such as boar bristles or animal hair, and were used primarily for grooming and detangling.
