Mistakes to avoid when brushing

These mistakes can lead to hair damage, such as breakage, stubborn tangles, and even hair loss. In this article, we'll look at five common mistakes to avoid when brushing your hair, so you can maintain healthy, beautiful hair.

Brush wet hair

 .

 When it comes to non-textured hair,One of the most common mistakes is brushing your hair immediately after getting it wet.

Wet hair is more elastic and fragile when it is waterlogged, making it more vulnerable to breakage.

When brushing, use a wide-toothed comb or a brush specifically designed for wet hair, starting at the ends and gradually working your way up to the roots.

This will help gently detangle the hair without breaking it.

 .

Brush aggressively

 

 It's tempting to brush your hair vigorously to get rid of tangles, but this can cause more harm than good. Avoid brushing your hair forcefully, as this can cause excessive strain on sensitive hair and scalps, which can lead to irritation and breakage.

Start by brushing your hair starting from the lengths and ends then gradually going up towards the roots.

Brushing hair too often

 Although regular brushing is beneficial for stimulating blood circulation to the scalp and distributing natural oils, excessive brushing can also cause damage. Avoid brushing your hair too often, especially if you have fine or fragile hair. Gentle brushing once or twice a day is usually sufficient to maintain healthy hair.
