In this study, the effect of hair brushing on reducing dandruff and enhancing hair gloss, which is an indicator of hair health, was examined. Hair brushing is a technique that can be incorporated into a daily routine to promote scalp health and prevent hair loss in a busy schedule. Hair brushing is a technique that can be incorporated into a daily routine to promote scalp health and prevent hair loss in a busy schedule. All participants used the same shampoo, provided with instructions on how to use the brush as part of their home care routine for a period of 30 days. Prior to the experiment, researchers conducted a survey to assess participants' expectations, targeting 20 individuals of both genders aged in their 20s to 60s. The results showed that 65.0% of participants responded positively, with an average rating of 3.95 out of 5. Statistical significance was verified through a comparative analysis of average hair gloss measured before and after the experiment using the MPA6 MDD4 Scalp Glossymeter GL200 Probe (Germany). The average hair gloss increased from 2.25 points before the experiment to 2.79 points after the experiment, showing a statistically significant difference. The results showed a statistically significant difference (t=-5.273, p<.05). In addition, a comparative analysis of images for scalp desquamation (using COMSCAM UBS 225, Korea) visually confirmed a significant decrease. Additionally, it was observed that the participants had positive expectations regarding the beneficial effects of using a hairbrush before shampooing to manage dry scalp and promote scalp health. Participants expressed the highest intention to continue using the hairbrush with a score of 4.50, and it was noted that they also had a high intention to recommend the hairbrush to others with a score of 4.40. This appears to be the result reflecting the effects of hair brushing and psychological satisfaction. All six satisfaction items, including the two mentioned above, showed satisfaction scores exceeding the median of 3 points, indicating a high satisfaction level with the effectiveness and user experience of the hairbrush.
