3 Amazing Brushes for Good Hair Days!

Benefits of Hair Brushing

 

Detangles

This one is especially important for our curly and wavey girls out there! If your hair is prone to tangles, gently brushing it while it’s wet will make your life much easier! Be sure to use a detangling product to protect your hair from damage.

Removes Stray Hairs

I’m sure you can relate to finding loose hairs pretty much everywhere, from the shower to the bedsheets! Our hair naturally sheds up to 100 hairs per day. Brushing your hair will help to remove these hairs loose hairs.

Distributes Oils Through the Hair

Regular brushing (no more than once or twice per day) can help distribute the natural oils that are produced by the scalp through to the rest of your hair. This can help give your hair a natural shine and prevent an oil buildup on the scalp.

 

Hair Brushing Tips

 

Start at the Ends

Although it seems natural to grab your hairbrush and brush from your scalp down to the ends, this will likely cause hair damage, especially if you have coarse or curly hair. Start brushing at the ends or mid-way through and make your way to the top to avoid breakage.

Be Gentle With Wet Hair

Our hair is at its most fragile when it’s wet, as the protein bonds in our hair become weaker. If you are brushing wet hair, use a wide-tooth comb or a brush designed for wet hair to keep your strands stress-free.

Section Your Hair First

This is an excellent tip if you have thick, coarse or curly hair. If you have a lot of hair, brushing it can seem like a momentous task! Try dividing your hair into sections and tackling them one by one.

Clean Your Brush Regularly

When you brush your hair, you are brushing out dead skin cells, oil, and any other impurities that might have made their way into your hair. If you don’t wash your brush, you’re brushing all those impurities right back into your hair! Soak your hairbrush in warm water and a clarifying shampoo once or twice weekly.
