The ReFa AURA is a gold-coated scalp massage brush from Tokyo, built to ease tension at the roots and lift shine into hair with every stroke.
The tool our personal shoppers reach for the night before a wash day, when the scalp needs more than a comb.
24-Karat Gold-Coating Technology
Each pin on the ReFa AURA is coated in 24-karat gold over brass, a combination chosen for its smooth glide and conductivity. The metal stays cool against warm skin and its conductive surface cuts down on the friction and static that leave hair flyaway after brushing. Every pass feels closer to a scalp treatment than a basic brush stroke.
Cushioned, Ergonomic Design for Everyday Massage
Underneath the pins sits a flexible cushion that gives with the pressure of each stroke, so the brush follows the curve of the head instead of pressing a single point. The body curves to sit naturally in the palm, which keeps the massage motion controlled through a full head of hair rather than a few strokes near the crown.
How to Use the ReFa AURA
Run the brush from hairline to nape in slow, even strokes over dry or towel-dried hair, working section by section across the scalp. Two to three minutes before bed is enough to feel the difference by morning.

How do you use the ReFa AURA scalp brush?
Brush from hairline to nape in slow, even strokes over dry or towel-dried hair, covering the whole scalp section by section. Two to three minutes a session is enough to feel the massage effect, and the pins are gentle enough for daily use.
What does the gold coating on the ReFa AURA actually do?
The 24-karat gold sits over conductive brass, which keeps the pins cool against the scalp and reduces the static and friction that cause flyaways. It is the same coating logic ReFa uses across its brush range, chosen for glide as much as finish.
How is the ReFa AURA different from the ReFa Aile Brush?
The AURA is built for scalp massage, with cushioned gold pins that focus on the roots. The Aile Brush is a detangling brush with three-level bristles built for smoothing length and reducing frizz through the mid-lengths and ends. Many of our personal shoppers keep both in rotation.
