As a Black girl with thick, type 4 natural hair, I'd like to make one thing clear: There is absolutely nothing worse than going through an entire wash day, then coming out of the shower and realizing you still have product buildup on your scalp.
It has happened to me many a time as my hair has gotten longer, and I've gotten equally annoyed in each instance.
Since I typically keep my nails long, I prefer to massage my scalp with my knuckles — clearly, however, that doesn't always do the trick. So when I ColorProof sent me some products to test a few years ago, including a scalp brush, I figured I'd give it a shot.
And let me just say this: Girl. Girl. It's been a total game-changer.
With its soft, long teeth, the tool adequately cleanses my scalp without causing irritation, and I'm able to get the shampoo all the way down to my roots — no problem.
So if you're anything like me and have hair that is thicker than a Snickers, scroll through to discover which scalp brush can turn your wash day all the way around.

Okay, fine. So technically this isn't a brush, but it's a great alternative for someone with a tender scalp. Gently use the comb to distribute the shampoo along the scalp and massage it in, then you'll be good to go — just don't try to detangle your hair with it until you've moved on to conditioning.
