I'm reminded of a girlfriend who patiently explained to me that your hair grows more if you brush it regularly because the brush "pulls it and encouraged it to grow". She said her mother had taught her that.

I thought it was nonsense. Shows what I know. I suppose folk wisdom is vindicated again.



You should be able to test this by brushing one side of your head more than the other


But why did you think it was nonsense?


Curious if it works on beards, now.

Though, I would also somewhat expect pulling at it increases blood flow, which I would think to have some impact on growth?


Of course it works.

PS Love the bio!


Apologies on not replying earlier! Will be giving this an amusing try to see if it can help shape my beard.

And glad you like that I realize I'm usually wrong! :D
