BRUSHING BASICS


Choosing a hairbrush carefully is very crucial to maintaining a healthy head of hair. Hair growth can be stimulated if you use the right brush, and likewise using the wrong brush can lead to excess hair shedding and possibly breakage. Understanding your hair type and what it is able to withstand can spare you a lot of painful hair woes. There are a wide variety of brushes out there on the market but I especially love the BOAR collection as the quality is very good and they offer a very wide cross section of brushes of varied textures, styles and uses. Regardless of your hair texture, there is a brush out there that will work for you. Below is a description of the brushes that may be suited for each hair texture:
FINE HAIR - Softer brushes work better for your hair type. Pure Bristle brushes are better in your case. Use a natural Boar Bristle Brush as Natural bristles are gentler on both hair and scalp and least likely to cause breakage. Try one with a cushion base for an extra gentle touch.
NORMAL HAIR - You are able to use brushes made from a mixture of bristle and nylon. The two different materials create a good balance that is not too rough or soft on the hair but provides the perfect intensity to effectively brush your normal hair.  
THICK HAIR - All Nylon Brushes may be used to brush thick hair. These brushes are stronger and better able to manage coarse, thick tresses.


Brushing is a vital process that helps to redistribute oils throughout the hair, thus boosting sheen.
