Choose the brush that best suits your hair type

Hair styling may seem like an obvious step in the daily care routine, but in fact it is an important step in maintaining hair health, and the most important thing in it is that it is affected by the type of hairbrush used, as it is the right choice in this field that guarantees the vitality, smoothness, and brilliance of hair.

Combing hair is the easiest step to maintain its health and beauty, as it protects it from entanglement and breakage. It also has other characteristics, most notably: helping to ventilate the hair and rid it of impurities, enhancing its volume by raising its roots, and enhancing its shine by distributing sebum secretions along its length. Passing the brush also helps to massage the scalp, and it has a relaxing effect. It also enhances the access of oxygen to the scalp, which activates its blood circulation and contributes to accelerating hair growth. But obtaining effective results in this field is linked to choosing a brush of good quality and suitable for the type of hair.

How to choose a brush

The choice of a hairbrush is directly related to its type, and brushes made of natural lint are considered the best in this field because they respect the nature of hair. It combs smoothly and helps to enhance its shine, thanks to its high content of keratin in its hair.

In the event that it is not available, the brush with nails made of nylon can also be useful in this field.

• In the case of thick hair

When thick hair lacks discipline, it needs to be brushed with a large oval or square-shaped brush, preferably of natural bristle.

It is also possible to use a brush equipped with nylon nails that penetrate the density of this hair and untangle it gently, in addition to distributing sebum secretions along its tufts.

• In the case of thin hair

The ideal brush in this case is one made of natural hair or silk, as it is soft and neutralizes static electricity. In this case, it is advised to avoid brushes with hard heads, such as those made of plastic and bamboo.

They do not loosen knots and cause this type of hair to break, which is already thin. It is recommended to direct the head down when combing this type of hair, which helps to enhance its volume.

• In the case of straight hair

The brush that fits him is wide, oblong and flat to help gently detangle and facilitate combing. It is recommended to comb all types of hair from the tips up to the roots.

• In the case of wavy, curly and coarse hair

The challenge lies in maintaining beautiful waves after combing this hair, and experts in this field advise trying to detangle this type of hair while it is dry, before washing it. The appropriate brush in this field is made entirely of natural lint or those in which natural lint is mixed with nylon, provided that its lint is spaced far from each other.

It prevents hair from frizzing and maintains its natural curls. After washing this type of hair, it is recommended to comb it while it is wet, using a wide-toothed wooden comb. It helps to detangle the hair without causing it to break.

Which brush is best for hair styling?

A flat brush is best suited for straightening hair when using an electric dryer or a ceramic iron. If you want to get a lively hairstyle, you should use a round brush that increases in diameter according to the length of your hair.

And short hair needs to be laid off just like long hair, as this step would rid it of the impurities accumulated on it, in addition to stimulating the scalp and supplying it with the oxygen it needs.
