I own this brush and I really don’t think the copper helps. In fact my very long hair often gets tangled and ripped with it. HOWEVER, it does help the itchiness and I think its more because of the many tiny metal bristles being more effective scratchers than the fact that they are made of copper.

Bought at walmart for $11, thought what the heck, tried every dandruff shampoo, including Prescription Selenium Sulfide, that looked like light mud, and if left on scalp more than 3 minutes would leave sores due to its literal eating of the scalp. Had slight hair loss from it. Sure it rid me of dandruff in my eye brows, but not my scalp.

Been using it 2 days now, shinier hair, progressively less itchy hair as the number of uses increases. Having that nearly painful warming feeling on scalp, but am no stranger to the sensation from “Cooling” shampoos. Significantly less flakes in simply 2 days usage.

I also purchased mine at Publix– it took care of my itchy scalp immediately. I love it!

I’m surprised at all the skepticism in this blog when the OP herself admits she hasn’t even TRIED it and a bunch of people have written in to say it really works. RTP’s argument also doesn’t make any sense in this context–you “take better care of your hair” over time because of it? Please! I (and it sounds like most other people here!) take a LOT of care of my hair, and I’ve tried a lot of different things. None of the shampoos work for me (and I’ve tried them ALL!). If they have any effect, it doesn’t last after a few days when I start getting build up again, and switching shampoos I have the same problem. Also, the anti-dandruff shampoos burn my (sensitive) scalp, they’re goopy, and smelly. So I prefer to stick to an all-natural mint shampoo I don’t get build up from and helps with the dandruff somewhat.

But the only thing that really gets rid of it is this amazing copper brush. Maybe it make’s RTP’s underlying condition worse, but if improves mine, along with a lot of other people. My scalp is less itchy, healthier (no cuts from extended itchiness/flaking/scratching), and MUCH less flaky. I disagree with the OP because one brush lasts for years, and that is MUCH LESS profit in the long run than continuously buying dandruff shampoo every month!

It makes sense that it would not work for everyone, but if you have persistent dandruff that doesn’t respond well to shampoos, I’d recommend trying it. I’d much rather brush my hair with this twice a day than have to mess around with goopy, irritating shampoos. (And other brushes don’t work–I’ve tried them!)

My little girl has been blessed with LOTS of hair..lol.. She has also developed dandruff. So I bought all kinds of dandruff shampoos and tea tree oil. Did not work and it is embarassing. I bought a copper brush and I am happy to say that her dandruff is gone. I love it!
