24K Gold-Plated Reflexology Needles
Naturally cool to the touch and hypoallergenic, these longer, specially polished tip Reflexology needles deliver a firm level of scalp stimulation for robust brushing.
Airflow Pinhole
Often misunderstood to be a "missing" needle, this hand-pierced pinhole in the center of the natural rubber pad manages airflow for measured elasticity and responsive pressure control during brushing.

The unique gua sha needles with curved polished tip provide scalp & follicle stimulation.

Massage & Stimulate
Scrape gently from hairline to the base of neck on clean, dry hair.
Brush From Hairline to Nape
Gently slide the needles from the tip of the hairline (above the forehead) toward the back of the head in one smooth motion, stopping at the base of the skull. Make sure that you feel the Gua Sha needles gently press against scalp with a comfortable pressure. Adjust pressure for comfort.
Repeat & Cover the Scalp
Repeat about 10 passes, covering all areas from hairline to base. Aim for 5 minutes daily, morning and night.
Extend Down the Neck
For added relief, continue the glide down the neck to ease further tension. Maintain contact with scalp during hair brushing to activate the massage function.
Reflexology Point Map
What is the brush handle made of?
The handle is made with an Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) thermoplastic body, selected for its durability and water resistance, and to keep production pressure off our elderly artists.
We also have a range of Gua Sha Brushes made of timber:
Where is this brush made?
Our Gua Sha Hair & Scalp Brushes are proudly made by traditional brush maker artisans in Taiwan.
How do I return this brush?
Due to hygiene reasons and the handmade production, we cannot offer returns or exchanges on this item.
If there are defects, please reach out to us and we'd be happy to assist.
How long will it take to get results?
Individual results may vary, but many users start seeing new baby hairs sprout after 3-4 months of daily use.
For best results, use the brush to stimulate the scalp while using the Tetrapeptide And Ginseng Hair & Scalp Serum.
Can I use this brush everyday?
Yes! It’s actually best used daily, as it can really repair and nourish dry strands throughout the day.
Pair with the Tetrapeptide & Ginseng Hair and Scalp Serum for best results over time.
Can I use the brush on wet hair?
We suggest only brushing clean, dry hair (a bit of moisture is okay) so as not to affect the gold plating over time. This also helps to avoid water getting in the brush via the central airflow pinhole.
Why is there a little hole in the middle of my brush?
It may look strange, but the hole in the brush cushion (not a missing pin) is a pinhole that allows air to flow through (and allows tension for the rubber to press downwards). If air is trapped inside the brush, it can't maintain elasticity during brushing.
The pinhole is made by our artists burning a pin through the rubber by hand and is part of how old traditional handmade brushes are created.
How do I clean this brush?
Dampen the provided Snow Fox cleaning cloth and gently rub the pins. Avoid using strong chemicals that may deteriorate the gold plating.
Do not rinse with water during cleaning to avoid water entering the pinhole.
Will the pins lose their lustre?
Over time, the 24K gold will slowly wear off and be absorbed with use. This is normal and means that you're using it properly (and enough).
This doesn't affect product use or quality at all. We use 24K gold for its softness, health benefits and purity.

Our Elderly Artists
When we first met our Master Artists, they were already planning to retire due to minimal orders and no apprentices. They are the last of their generation, and this is why we can only produce in small, artisanal batches. Inevitably, our artists will retire in the next few years.
Costs of Preservation
All-time high gold prices in the past decade have made traditional Gua Sha needles extremely costly to produce. However, our artists insist on maintaining the quality and authenticity of their work and would rather retire than give in to demands for cheaper metal alloy alternatives.
The Difference Between Gua Sha Needles & Metal Needles
Each needle is polished by being run through river stones before being plated in gold and pinned by hand. Bent and scratched pins are removed one-by-one.
Cultural Legacy
Cheap, mass industrialization offshore has decimated the demand for authentic, handcrafted reflexology tools in Taiwan. Ethically made and assembled by hand, your purchase goes towards ensuring the livelihood of our brush makers and the hopes of attracting the next generation to preserve a cultural art form & legacy.
