You might be brushing your hair wrong

Tips for brushing your hair the right way

1. Brush from bottom to top

Do you brush your hair from root to tip? This can cause damage to your hair. Starting at the root and pulling hair down to the ends can pull strands out of the follicle, resulting in hair breakage. It is recommended to start brushing a few inches from the bottom and slowly working your way up in small sections and short strokes to remove hair tangles. This brushing technique is much more efficient at detangling and prevents unwanted breakage.

2. Use the right brush for your hair type

I have straight/slightly wavy hair. Wet hair is more fragile than dry hair-it’s important to towel dry your hair before brushing wet hair. I use a tangle teezer on my wet hair. I also use it on dry hair. I also like to use a boar bristle brush on dry hair to smooth it and help distribute hair oils. I use the mason Pearson boar and nylon bristle brush. This brush feels like a scalp massage.

3. Brush gently

I have a tendency to brush my hair quickly and by default not gently enough which causes breakage and damage. I try to make a conscious effort to brush more gently to prevent further damage.
