My 10 year old daughter has very long and very thick hair, which not only took forever to wash, but required so much shampoo application to get any kind of lather and then even longer to rinse. More recently, she's been suffering from a very dry scalp, which naturally results in dandruff and all the questionable social judgements that go with it that were making her unhappy. No matter the shampoo we tried, or how long we washed and rinsed her hair, things weren't improving. Then a little friend of hers told her about this shampoo brush so we thought we'd give it a try. I've bought lots of things from Amazon in the past - some great, some plain hopeless - but this stands as one of the best, and the results have been pretty much instant. We applied a small amount of shampoo to the brush (about a quarter of what I'd normally have to use), and once her hair was suitably wet in the shower, we just started brushing gently from front to back across her scalp. The way the brush evenly and deeply distributes the shampoo through a thick head of hair is just simple genius, and the lather produced with a fraction of the shampoo we normally used was incredible. Once we got the hang of it, my daughter took over herself and spent a long time just running the shampoo brush through her hair and along her scalp, constantly saying how relaxing it was and how nice it felt on her head. When it came to rinsing, she also used the brush to aid the flow of clean water until there wasn't a sign of shampoo at all. Of late, when towel drying her hair, we'd quickly see flakes of dry skin emerging as we gently rubbed and brushed it through. After just the first shower with the shampoo brush, we barely saw any sign of dry skin. It was remarkable. Now, 3 showers and hair washes in, the dry skin we've been battling for months is all but gone. We can't recommend this brush highly enough. One very happy 10 year old, one very happy Daddy.
