I bought this $130 Japanese hairbrush to see if it’s REALLY the secret to long healthy hair

[@CourtneyVioletta]

I feel the need to add that this video is not sponsored, I took a chance on it for this video and I genuinely wanted to see if it was worth the price lol 🥴 Anyways, I hope you all are having a wonderful first day of 2021!! 🎉

[@natalieslicker7297]

Very interesting! I'd love one of these with the little kitty on. Wish I knew about this before Christmas! Happy new year 🥰

[@anikac8380]

Camellia oil is the bomb! I find that applying oil to wet hair maximizes the amount of moisture it can seal in. The brush and the camellia oil together look like they’ll give you great results.

[@barbyxd24]

It would be interesting if you continue the experiment for a month to see if the brush and oil really helps to grow your hair faster 🤔🤔

[@CourtneyVioletta]

For sure, I can definitely test it out and see!

I am so sorry about how few likes this video has. You obviously worked very hard on this video and spent quite a bit of hard earned money on it too. This is a very informative, interesting and well written and edited video, well done.

[@lexihauer9857]

Omg I want this brush so bad. I have very static prone hair, a lot of breakage and pull out lots of hair when I brush and my hair tends to be pretty dry. I might have to invest in this brush and the oil.

[@CourtneyVioletta]

I would try the oil first! I think that alone can help your hair a lot ☺️ I’ve been doing overnight treatments with it and every day or so just putting a tad in my ends and it’s helping SO MUCH with the dryness!

[@lexihauer9857]

@@CourtneyVioletta Thanks! I will try to get some the next time I get paid. ❤️❤️❤️

[@ceidaguzmanllamas8779]

Where did you get it from

[@queenkoi]

Camellia oil is fantastic for hair and the wooden brushes from Japan are very good quality. Using both I think you'll be very happy with the result.

[@Zeniiichan]

Critical thinking: This brush is just like any other wooden brush and can definitely be replaced by any other cheap wooden brush. The only difference with your other wooden brush is that the spikes are sturdy instead of flexible so it stimulates the scalp and that for sure helps with hair growth. But this can be remplaced with any sturdy wooden comb or wooden brush of any wood (santal wood, Neem wood etc...). Woman of so much culture, including Chinese or Japanese have over times used wooden brush and wooden comb other that this one that costs 130 dollars and always had long hair. I'm not sure if this brush is so costly because of the wood used or just because of marketing but it's definitely not worth it. It's not about this particular brush, it's about oiling your hair, stimulating the scalp and using any wooden brush to distribute the oil. Also it would have been better for you to use the brush alone, because yes there is a difference on your hair, but it's mainly due to the oil and not really the brush. The brush effects are more seen overtime with air growth and shine. In conclusion, don't buy this brush (except if you are rich), just buy any wooden brush with sturdy spikes and camellia oil :)

Hey, "Tsuge" is pronounced "Tsu-Geh" :) basically, the way it's spelled! The cat shape on the handle is so cute btw

[@georginabain5533]

Why didn’t you use the brush without the oil I would like to see if the come on it’s own would make a difference clearly the oil was what made the difference in your hair

[@valprincipe]

Yes I would really love to see this demo too!

[@IcejjfishTbone]

I mean objectively speaking a dense wood is probably the best material for a comb. Good at absorbing and distributing the natural oils within hair, allowing the hair to be more healthy. Tsuge happens to be arguably the best wood for this application, and the Japanese have been working with it for hundreds of years.

[@IcejjfishTbone]

So wooden brushes objectively are the best, the only thing up for debate within wooden brushes is the type of wood and craftsmanship’s. Arguably the Japanese do both the best

[@sylverbright]

Big difference! I wish it wasn't so expensive, lol. Thank you, great video!

[@CourtneyVioletta]

I know, I think the oil is a big contributor! I know the price is suuuuper hefty, so I also linked in the description brushes that are still super high quality from the brand TEK that are cheaper than this one, still expensive for a brush though. Holistic Habits raves about them so I trust that they are great 😇

[@Osmanthus550]

Honestly a proper test would had been using the oil for each brush.

[@justinejacinto007]

they really do work, i use it as a scalp massager and when im distributing my natural oils. and it helps on growing out baby hairs

FYI the rice water method is a japanese method a not a chinese one ! And argan oil is not sticky at all

[@CourtneyVioletta]

I'm referring to the Yao women in China who continue to use the traditional recipe, I didn't say it is a Chinese method. and yes, Argan Oil from Morocco is thick and can be sticky. Maybe not other varieties.

[@lamia2537]

@@CourtneyVioletta if it's sticky then it's mixed to something !

[@Zeniiichan]

​@@CourtneyVioletta No Argan oil is definitely not Thick nor sticky. I'm moroccan and always buy traditional- made argan oil and it's a lightweight oil. I don't know where you for your argan oil to say otherwise. Also the brush name is pronounced "tsu-gey", not "tsuj".

[@CourtneyVioletta]

@@Zeniiichan My Argan oil comes from the women in Berber village Morocco. It’s not thick but it’s not lightweight on my hair type.

[@Zeniiichan]

@@CourtneyVioletta yes of course, it's because your have very fine hair and us berber women have more thick hair so it doesn't feel feel like it's thick at all. For sure, with different hair types not all oils would suit other hair types. I think camellia oil is better for you as you have fine hair like japanese women

Really cool and it makes a difference

[@kendraross919]

I got a quick question, I heard the Yao women use pomelo fruit and something that is close to it is grapefruit. Have you tried that instead of the orange peels? Does it make a difference? I also love the videos of all of this combo learning how the Yao women do their hair, thanks for sharing your experience! Can't wait to see more! :)

[@CourtneyVioletta]

Yeah they do use pomelo fruit but I haven't tried that or grapefruit. I used clementine peels! I can't imagine it would have a HUGE difference, but I do know they put "seed oil" in their recipe. I didn't know what that was at the time of filming that video, but now I know its actually camellia oil! So if you make the recipe, try adding that and I'm sure that would make a big difference!

[@kathyeller1621]

I can for sure see the difference!

[@moniquevandeplas5210]

I have been looking for an all wood brush and wondering if it would help. I have a bamboo brush but the middle keeps falling out. I totally saw a difference on your hair. Tsuge Brush here I come and Camellia oil too. Thank you for this. Oh yeah I will get a wet brush too. By the way did you shampoo and condition before doing this or wash your hair some other way? Curious as to your exact method? Thanks again

[@nicolebee3273]

Didn't you put oil in the other side? Wouldn't that help with the frizz? You should try the oil on both sides whole it's wet to see if it's the brush or the oil making a difference.

[@SuperNutcake]

Tek brushes are half the price though I still find them pricey

[@turtleface25]

Can you do a review of the boar bristle brush?

[@ahlammallak8853]

It’s the oil not the brush! You can buy it from different shops in Europe especially Italy I think. We call it Silicon ( it does not contain any Silicone) but it’s a thick oil that get absorbed immediately in the hair.

[@CourtneyVioletta]

The oil is definitely doing something amazing to my hair! I'm going to do a few videos in the future testing the two separately (oil and brush). Are you sure that is Camellia oil though? It isn't thick 🤔 It's kind of thin like a serum. I know it's also called Seed Oil, but either way thats great that you at least have access to something very similar if not the same thing!
