5 Hair Brush Tips
Choosing the right hair brush can mean the difference between split ends and a healthy head of hair. Ditto for brushing properly. There was a time I didn’t think they type of hair brush I owned made a difference, but after my hair started breaking off at the ends and my brush “scratched” my scalp I began to put two and two together. But what did I know, I was in my teens then.
If you don’t think it makes a difference between getting a good-quality hair brush and or picking up the .50 cent model at Joe’s Less Than $1 Emporium, you couldn’t be more wrong. Check out some of these hair brush tips.
- For long straight hair use what’s known as a paddle brush. Once you see it, you’ll know what I mean. It’s shaped like a paddle with a larger brush and handle than you’re average run of the mill hairbrush. I love mine.
- Make sure your hair brush has balls on the tips. If not you’re asking for split ends and a sore scalp!
- Clean your brush by “combing” out the hair and washing with a water and a bit of shampoo.
- Use thermal brushes when blow drying your hair. These specially designed round brushes heat up better enabling them to hold a style.
- Every time you brush your hair you release sebum. This is a good thing as it keeps your scalp from drying out. Brush two or three times a day to moisturize your scalp.
Also, a natural bristled brush is so much healthier for your hair than a nylon or synthetic bristled brush. While it may cost more money, you and your hair will be happier in the long run.
