How to brush your hair properly to avoid damage?

Brushing hair is a daily routine that many people do automatically. However, improper technique can lead to damage, breakage, and excessive hair loss. How can you take care of your hair to keep it healthy and beautiful?

1. Choose the right brush or comb

🔹 For fine and easily tangled hair, a brush with soft bristles or a wide-tooth comb is ideal.
🔹 Thick or curly hair requires a comb with wider gaps to minimize pulling.
🔹 Brushes with natural bristles help evenly distribute oil along the length of the hair, ensuring proper hydration.

2. Never brush wet hair with a regular brush

Wet hair is most susceptible to damage, so it’s best to use a special wide-tooth comb or a brush designed for wet hair.

3. Brush your hair gradually

Start at the tips and slowly move towards the roots. This method prevents breakage and painful pulling.

4. Avoid aggressive brushing

Too strong and quick strokes can cause mechanical damage to the hair. Be gentle and patient, especially when your hair is tangled.

5. How often should you brush your hair?

🔹 Straight hair can be brushed several times a day to keep it smooth and shiny.
🔹 Wavy or curly hair is best brushed less often, ideally before washing or with the use of a moisturizing spray.

6. Use appropriate products

To make brushing easier, you can use leave-in conditioners, oils, or special sprays that help with detangling and prevent knots.
Proper brushing technique helps keep hair strong, healthy, and shiny. A few simple changes in your routine will have your hair thanking you! 😊
