FAQ: All About the Acubrusher

1. Why does my Acubrusher look like it has a missing bristle?

That’s not a defect—it’s actually an air hole. This small opening is part of the cushion design, allowing the pad to stay flexible and bouncy for effective scalp massage. It ensures the bristles move smoothly with the natural contours of your head, making the massage gentler and more comfortable.


2. Can I use the Acubrusher as a gua sha tool? How should I use it?

Yes. Many of our Japanese customers enjoy using the Acubrusher not only for scalp care but also as a gua sha-inspired massager. You can gently glide the bristle side along your jawline, neck, and shoulder lymphatic areas to help release tension and promote circulation. The Acubrusher is more than just a hairbrush—it’s a versatile tool for holistic massage and relaxation.

 

3. Does the Acubrusher help with hair growth?

The Acubrusher supports scalp health, which is essential for healthy hair growth. By massaging the scalp and stimulating blood circulation, it helps deliver nutrients to the follicles. While it does not directly create new hair, it promotes a healthier environment for stronger, fuller hair over time.

 

4. Is the far-infrared infused in the wooden base of the Acubrusher? How long does it last, and is there a difference between wood types?

Yes. Uffy’s team spent nearly a year perfecting the process of infusing far-infrared nanomaterials into natural wood. Unlike conventional far-infrared devices, the effect is activated simply by body temperature (around 25°C). This improves blood circulation and overall scalp health. The emission never expires, and all wood types used provide the same far-infrared quality.

 

5. What is the best way to clean the Acubrusher? Can I rinse it with water? And how often should I be cleaning it?

You can clean your Acubrusher once a week using a toothbrush to gently remove tangled hair. Once every month or two, spray the Acubrusher with a disinfectant mist that contains alcohol for a deeper clean. You can also add a little bit of shampoo onto the toothbrush to brush clean. Rinse it, then wipe the wooden base dry, before placing it in a shaded area to air dry.

 

6. When is the best time to use the Acubrusher, and how long should I use it? Will it hurt my scalp?

The Acubrusher is designed primarily as a scalp massager, not a detangling brush. You can use it at different times depending on your needs:

  • At night – to relax, ease stress, and promote better sleep.

  • In the morning – to gently stimulate your scalp and help wake up your mind.

  • During the day – whenever you need a refreshing break.

You may use it for as long as it feels comfortable. The massage should never cause discomfort or harm to your scalp.

 

7. Is the far-infrared infused in the bristles or the wooden base? Does it only work where it touches?

The far-infrared is infused into the wooden base. While it activates on contact, its conductivity promotes systemic benefits by enhancing blood flow throughout the body—not just where it touches.

 

8. Can I use the Acubrusher on wet hair?

In general, brushing your hair when it is wet can cause more breakage. We recommend you to brush your hair after it has been fully dried to unknot and detangle without causing any unnecessary damage.

 

9. Are there any side effects from far-infrared infusion?

No. Far-infrared is completely safe, non-invasive, and beneficial. It has been widely studied for its positive effects on circulation and overall wellness, with no harmful side effects.

 

10. Can I use the Acubrusher to blow dry my hair?

Yes! The Acubrusher is heat resistant so you can blow dry your hair with it.

 

11. How should I care for my Acubrusher?

Keep your Acubrusher away from direct sunlight or prolonged heat exposure, as this can affect the cushion’s elasticity. After cleaning or rinsing, always allow the brush to dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area to maintain its durability and performance.
