Hair Brushing Tricks You Should Know



Here are the hair brushing rules you should never break:
1.      Use the right brush

You should really do your research and find the right brush for your hair type. “You might even find that no brush is best for your hair! And when you do brush, focus on quality over quantity: Just massage your scalp and carefully get rid of tangles.

2.      Brush from tip to root

Brushing your strands from top to bottom can cause snags and breakage. Instead, you should brush your hair in sections, starting from the ends and slowly working your way up the hair. If there’s a really nasty knot, it’s best to use your fingers to get rid of it.
3.      Brush before washing

Because your strands are weakened when wet, they’re more prone to tangle. To prevent mats and snarls, start a pre-shower hair brushing ritual before hopping in.
4.      Dry your hair before brushing

Hair is at its most vulnerable when it’s wet and breaks easily. Brushes are harsh on hair at the best of times, and brushing when wet can lead to split ends, permanent damage and breakage. If you just can’t resist, use a wide tooth comb to detangle wet hair—and when blow drying, use a vented brush, which has fewer teeth.
The exception to this rule is if you’ve got curly locks, in which case you should do the opposite: Comb when wet, not dry.
5.      Take your time with tangles

We’re all famous for ripping out tangles as aggressively as if it were an Olympic event. Ditch the paddle brush and detangle using a wide tooth comb and detangling product. If you’re detangling wet or damp hair, apply a conditioner with plenty of slip, and if dry make sure to apply a detangling cream.
6.      Clean your brushes on the regs

Just like you wash your makeup brushes, you should wash your hair brush once a week. The bristles get clogged up with hair and you’re brushing this back into your hair. We recommend removing any hair caught in the bristles, then running the brush under warm water. Work shampoo into the bristles, creating foam, then rinse it off completely and towel dry.
