This is often the step that we tend to neglect: a few quick strokes of the comb before leaving and we’re done! However, brushing your hair is an essential part of your beauty routine, and it even helps minimize the use of additional hair products. Whether your hair is long, short, curly, or straight, here’s the right technique for combing your hair without breaking it.
Getting rid of dead hair, knots, and frizz is the main goal of detangling. For natural hair, the detangling process can be challenging depending on the hair length, dryness level, and shrinkage when wet.
However, it is possible to detangle wet or dry hair, and for many, the detangling process evolves over time with a better understanding of their hair’s behavior.
Opt for wide-tooth combs
Using a wide-tooth comb is an essential technique for combing your hair without breaking it. Unlike brushes with tightly packed bristles, wide-tooth combs allow for detangling knots while minimizing breakage. Start by combing your hair from the ends towards the roots, gradually working through knots. This gentle method reduces tension on the hair and prevents damage.
The right technique for brushing your hair
When your hair is dry, begin by combing from the ends and gradually work your way up to the roots. This method allows you to detangle your hair gently. You can then reinforce the ends with nourishing Precious Hair Oil to help prevent split ends.
It is true that regularly brushing your hair can make it more radiant and keep it healthy. This action helps distribute sebum along the lengths and ends. However, if you have oily hair, it is advised to brush your hair less often to avoid damaging or further greasing them. Brushing can stimulate sebum production, leading to greasier hair for those with oily scalps.
