Zyllion Hair Shampoo Brush and Scalp Massager Care for Dandruff Removal, Scrubber, Hair Growth and Exfoliator with Flat and Pointed Soft Silicone Bristles for Women and Men - Green (ZMA-12-GR)

I have 3b-4a hip length (when straightened) hair that is coarse and very thick. I bought this just for a few reasons. One of them being, I wanted to stop scratching my scalp so much when washing my hair, because I was worried about damaging my scalp. I also wanted to help stimulate my scalp to encourage new growth, and make it easier on my fingertips each wash day. I always try to get my scalp as clean as possible so my protective styles or wash and gos can last as long as possible. I also exercise 5 days a week so having a clean scalp is essential for me to not be miserable throughout the week....I was worried that I would regret not buying an expensive shampoo brush. Girl, no. I just bought another one for my teenage daughters. I love this thing. I did not have a problem reaching my scalp through my hair at all which was my concern with how thick my hair is. Right away it did not touch my scalp when I pressed it to my wet hair, but I would use circular motions to lather my shampoo or work in my co-wash then run it in a downward motion down my scalp, then repeat all over my head. It did not tangle or create knots, and I found the stiffness of the bristles to be perfect. I didn't want them to feel too soft and feel like I was ineffectively cleansing my scalp. I used to try and massage my head with my denman brush but the bristles were too small and it felt too much like scratching, but this is perfect. I have used it VERY gently on my 3 year old and she likes it as well. My teenagars have straight hair but dandruff issues, but I think they will enjoy this. IMHO if you enjoy getting your scalp rubbed and massaged and you like to get all up in there, try this. I want to stock up my closet with these.Update 11/20/18 I still absolutely love this product. I use it every week when I wash my hair and then I leave it in my shower window until next week. It has yet to show any signs of mold or mildew, in fact it still looks brand spankin new. I have found over the past year that the easiest way to use this is to rub my scalp in up and down motions all over my scalp, one section at a time. To get the thickest parts of my hair, I part my hair down the middle and then work my way from the part line to my ears, in up and down motions. My scalp feels so clean without feeling stripped. I use this with Shea Moisture Low Porosity Shampoo and it feels tingly. This is my favorite part of wash day.

Firstly- I purchased this brush in 2019. It JUST broke, and only because one of my kids threw it. Since I immediately came back to this page to buy another one, I figured I should leave a review.As someone with long, curly hair that frequently has scalp buildup, this scalp scrubber is a requirement in my hair care routine. The flat, oblong shape of the bristles is key to why it works so well at removing buildup. Think of your scalp like a pan, and the flat bristle is a spatula. Now imagine trying to scrape a pan with a chopstick, which is the shape of the bristles of most scalp scrubbers on the market- totally ineffective, except maybe to stimulate the skin, and push around some product.The key is not to use it in a circular pattern, but to push it left-right, back and forth, one section at a time, lifting and moving from section to section. This way you will be using the bristles in their most effective “spatula” like way, while avoiding the tangles that are created by a circular motion.(One final recommendation- I use this scrubber with the As I Am ‘Dry and Itchy’ co-wash, and it’s a miracle duo for eliminating dandruff and build up without drying out your hair and scalp, especially in the winter months. Hope this helps someone out there!)

for really short hair, military style cuts, etc. this thing is probably great but, for somewhat fine shoulder length and beyond hair, this thing stinks, the silicone/rubber just keeps a grabbing your hair and snagging it no matter how you use it. and as for helping exfoliate scalp, hard to do when it just wants to grab & bunch up your hair as soon as you start moving it on your scalp..Now even though this does not work for me, it is not a cheap looking scalp brush, looks well made, felt good in my smaller hands and worked/glided well on my husband's scalp when i tried it on him, so i still give it 4 stars for that but, i personally will go back to using the oceanpure scalp massagers that may not look as nice but, it is a better choice for my hair & dry psoriasis scalp needs and works great but, i bought this zyllion anyways thinking wider and softer bristles would be better, i was wrong.

It'd be nice if the handle could come all the way down instead of stopping 2/3 of the way. It's not a big deal but it'd mean fewer hand transitions. The product worked great, it got rid of my dandruff and leaves my head super clean. I have a buzzcut and often wear beanies so this product was perfect for me.I didn't realize the tips at the end were coated. My tips turned yellow after about a year and as another reviewer mentioned it's likely that the tips are plastic and not silicone. Because of the plastic tips breaking down, the scrub slowly becomes less effective over time.Lastly the mold. If you look at the product, the white brush handle is made of hard plastic, then there are two other pieces, the silicone-brush part, and a plastic mold for the brush to hold the silicone-brush. It is not all one single piece. In fact between the silicone brush and white plastic handle, there is a hollow space. After about a year and a half, my srub became smelly. I opened the brush up by pressing down hard on it to pop it out to find that water had been trapped inside the brush and there was some mold growing. I'm upset that the sellers don't mention you can open it up, otherwise, I would've just cleaned it every month or so. Instead, the molding that holds the handle to the brush smelled so bad I threw the whole thing away.Also, dirt can accumulate under the brush and between the molding (at the base of the brush you see a gap/hole where the bristles stick out). Again I assumed the whole thing was one piece and there was nothing underneath the brush. I would have cleaned it if I just knew.
