How to Brush Your Hair for Light Styling with No Damage

November 7, 2016 by Jennifer Scott

Unfortunately, many women don’t brush their hair in the proper way. Mistakes such as brushing your hair from top to bottom or doing it while your hair is still wet, can truly damage your locks and cause breakage. Instead, follow our below-described recommendations on how to brush your hair in a correct way.

Tips on How to Brush Your Hair the Right Way

#1. Prepare Your Hair

Wash your locks with warm water and the proper shampoo. Choose products that suit your hair type. To obtain detangled hair, you should also use a conditioner. Wrap your hair in a towel and leave it there until the excess water is absorbed. Don’t rub it on your locks because it will only create tangles. Moreover, avoid using blow dryers or hair straighteners. These will damage and dry out your hair.

#2. Choose the Right Brush

Not all brushes are good for your hair type. When it comes to how to brush your hair in a correct way, this is an important step. For example, if your hair tends to get tangled easily, you should avoid using a dense brush. Instead, you can opt for a [easyazon_link identifier=”B00GNA9WG4″ locale=”US” tag=”beautifu0f2-20″]paddle brush[/easyazon_link] which fits almost any type of hair.

#3. Don’t Brush Your Hair While It’s Wet

To avoid breakage or damage, you should wait until your hair is not wet anymore to brush it. Even if you are in a rush, you shouldn’t use a blow dryer to speed up the process. What you can do is going with your fingers through your locks, and fluffing the roots. Once your hair gets less wet, you can start brushing it.

#4. Start from the Tips

Now it is time to separate your locks into three different sections. This will help you obtain more volume. Start from your hair tips and work your way up to your roots. I know that this will probably feel a bit unnatural at first. However, it is the best way to get rid of tangled hair without breaking or damaging it. Continue doing this until your hair is silky smooth.

#5. Focus on Your Roots Too

Healthy hair begins at the top, with a clean, healthy scalp. When it comes to how to brush your hair, your roots play an important role because of their healthy oils. Dragging them all over your locks with the brush will not make your hair greasy. On the contrary, they will strengthen your hair. So, to finish up the brushing process, don’t forget to stroke your hair a couple of time, from your roots to your tips.

Putting It All Together

Brushing your hair is not as complicated as it seems, but you still need to pay attention to how you do it. Follow our recommendations presented above to make sure your hair will be detangled, smooth, and healthy. Otherwise, a wrong brushing might damage and break your locks. Let us know how this works for you!
