Common mistakes that are destroying your healthy hair Haircare experts at shared their insight. Not brushing correctly Brushing your hair regularly is one of the most basic, yet effective, ways to keep it looking healthy and maintained. However, mechanical damage from your hairbrush and brushing your hair the wrong way may be doing more harm than good. To avoid excessive pulling and breakage to the hair, the best way to brush your hair is to start at the ends and work your way up to the roots. It's also important to choose a brush that is gentle on hair, but tough on tangles. Not using the right hairbrush for hair type Selecting the right hairbrush for your hair type is essential to maintain healthy hair. Different hairbrushes are designed to work with different hair types, textures, and lengths. Taking the time to pick out your perfect brush is the little thing you can do to make a big difference when it comes to your hair health. For fine hair, a brush with soft-flex teeth is recommended as it can de-tangle hair without pulling or damaging fragile strands. For straight to wavy hair, we recommend our de-tangling brushes with regular-flex teeth, and for thick or curly hair, we recommend our firm-flex teeth and our brushes with a larger paddle size. If you have tight curls and coils, a wide-tooth comb maybe a better match for your hair. Not brushing treatments through in the shower Using treatments is a great way to keep your hair hydrated and healthy. Whether you're using a deep conditioner or treatment masque, it's important to brush it through from the mid-lengths through to the ends of the hair. This will make sure it is evenly distributed through the hair so the treatment can nourish all strands. When brushing through your treatment, make sure you use a brush that is as gentle on wet hair as it is dry. The importance of scalp care in healthy hair Healthy hair starts at the root so bring a scalp brush into your hair care routine has many benefits, as it promotes blood circulation. A scalp brush can help with dandruff, by removing the build-up of old skin cells and products that can lead to an itchy, flaky scalp. Not only do scalp brushes remove the leftover products that can lead to dandruff, but they can also help apply products - from oil treatments to anti-dandruff shampoos - deeper into your scalp. Also, massaging your scalp stimulates pressure points and increases blood circulation, unblocking hair follicles, allowing your hair to grow stronger and healthier.
