Apparently, There's a ‘Right’ Way to Brush Your Hair
The best way to look after your hair can sometimes seem like a mystery. We’ve all questioned many hair care myths: Does cutting your hair frequently makes it grow faster? Should we air-dry our locks rather than blow-dry them? What about using conditioner?
It can feel like a minefield of potential mistakes.
Fortunately, experts have now revealed that there is definitely one thing we should all be doing — and that is to brush our hair more.
The Independent reports that Neil Moodie, session stylist and Viviscal ambassador, says one of the most common mistakes women make is not brushing their hair often enough.
“Hair has a lifespan of approximately seven years, and on average we lose around 120 hairs a day to make way for new ones to grow. If you don’t brush your hair, then these hairs won’t loosen out.”
The type of hair you have plays a big factor here too, according to Rob Fitch, principal stylist at Josh Wood Atelier. “If you have curly hair, never brush hair when dry,” he warns. “Instead, use your hands and fingers to pull through hair loosely.”
If you have straight hair, the one thing you should never do is use a brush when it’s wet. This is because when your hair is still fresh out the shower, it’s weaker, meaning it’s more likely to break. Instead, use a comb to detangle your hair postshower.
