It's long been known that small changes in hair care can often yield big results. Sometimes, changing your conditioner, changing your towel, or using the right brush will improve the appearance of your strands, prevent split ends, and allow you to enjoy healthy locks for much longer. So, how should you brush your hair and what accessories should you buy?
How to care for your hair?
Hair, being dead tissue, has no capacity to regenerate. Therefore, once damaged, strands will be unable to rebuild their structure. Therefore, it's important to pay attention to a proper diet and care. Oiling is one of the best ways to moisturize, especially the ends, which, compared to the entire length, are the oldest and most sensitive part of the hair. It's also important to be gentle with your hair, avoid tugging immediately after washing, and to comb gently. If your hair tangles, it's worth using a light silicone serum or spray to add slip and prevent breakage and damage. However, if the problem persists, it's worth implementing the OMO method into your daily care routine: conditioner-wash-conditioner , and above all, thoroughly comb your hair before wetting it.
Brushes with natural bristles
Brushes with natural bristles, often obtained from wild boar, reigned supreme on the market for a long time. It's not without reason that they smoothed strands, sealed the cuticles, and added shine. Their drawbacks include hygiene issues: they're difficult to clean, and moisture makes them a breeding ground for bacteria. Regularly remove brushed hair, and wash thoroughly after each brushing. This helps prevent the introduction of dirt and sebum that have accumulated since the last brushing. As a result, strands will stay fresh longer and won't become greasy as quickly. However, brushes enriched with natural bristles offer several advantages: they add volume, lift hair from the roots, and prevent split ends. You can easily find them online .
Plastic brushes
For several years now, brushes made of a special material, whose bristles gently detangle without damaging the hair's structure, have been gaining popularity. Their versatility is a major advantage, as they are suitable for all hair types and lengths. The TANGLE TEEZER is made of an exceptionally durable material that's easy to clean. Most of these brushes can also be used in the shower. Recently, many other alternatives have appeared, such as the IKOO and TANGLE ANGEL brushes.
Wooden comb
It's perfect for detangling masks and conditioners after application, from roots to ends. If you have straight, thin, and not-so-dense hair that doesn't tangle or cause any problems, this is the perfect accessory for a small bag. It doesn't take up much space, is lightweight, and yet serves its purpose, allowing you to take it anywhere. However, it's worth remembering that wood should be avoided in contact with water.
