Using the correct brush for your hair type can make the difference between lackluster locks and shiny , vibrant hair.Although natural bristle brushes are thought to be best,soft nylon bristles won't "grab" and tear at hair,making them a good and cheaper alternative.
When brushing your hair, no matter what your hair type is , always proceed gently and never be tempted to tug or rip.If you find that there are knots or snags in your hair, use a detangling spray or a small amount of silicone based serum.this will smooth and soften the hair making it much easier to gently comb out a tangle.
Hair brushing stimulates the blood circulation to the scalp, helping your hair benefit from extra nutrients and also evenly distributes natural oils , so spending time gently brushing can leave your hair in better condition.Those with hair prone to tangles may find that brushing the hair before washing and conditioning can help reduce knots, and brushing before bedtime can do the same.
If you are aiming for curls when styling , opt for a round barrel brush-remember, the smaller the barrel, the tighter the curl.Straight hair benefits most from a wide-toothed comb for very curly hair as these are adept at separating the curls to give definition without causing frizz.
When choosing combs and brushes, a certain amount of trail and error is to be expected before you find the right products for you,but once you find a comb or brush that suits your hair,you will probably end up keeping it for life.
