Works for Me: Copper Hairbrushes
My husband has suffered with dandruff for as long as I’ve known him. Not a few flakes, but all over flakiness. I bought him a new hairbrush with copper-coated bristles to see how it worked for him, and we’re blown away! Almost all of his dandruff is gone without chemicals or stinky shampoo. The theory is that copper kills the bacteria that cause dandruff (I used Nizoral when I was younger – same principle, works well, but full of chemicals!) and it seems to do the job!
The sad thing is that the extremely thin copper coating is already wearing off, so we’re brainstorming ways to make our own hairbrush with more copper! If you’ve heard of a brush that lasts longer than a month or two, let me know! I’m just thrilled to report that copper bristle hair brushes work for us!
