<\/span><\/h2>\nIf you’re like most people, you probably don’t think much about brushing your hair. But your brushing technique<\/strong> can mean the difference between healthy, shiny hair and messy, damaged hair. Brushing too often (more than twice a day) or brushing too vigorously can cause hair loss and damage. But it’s not just about how you brush – it’s also about using the right tools for the job<\/strong>.<\/p>\nGenerally, you shouldn’t use the same kinds of styling tools for wet and dry hair.<\/strong> A wide-toothed comb or a Wet Brush are great for brushing through wet hair, which is more prone to breakage. An added bonus of the Wet Brush is that it can also be used on dry hair. But if you struggle with tangles, a paddle brush might be just what you need. This kind of brush helps prevent frizz, and is best suited for naturally straight or thick hair.<\/p>\nIf you’re concerned about heat damage from blow drying, add a thermal brush to your styling routine. This type of brush conducts heat, which helps shorten drying time. But it can also help you create the perfect beachy wave.<\/p>\n
For an option that’s gentle yet effective, choose a boar bristle brush. This type of brush enhances shine by working natural oils through the hair. It can even help distribute dry shampoo. The boar bristle brush is a great standby, and works for all hair types, from pin straight to coily. There are even vegan versions available!<\/strong><\/p>\n
