HAIR BRUSHES IN OUR LIVES
If you have never used a different plastic brush other than the one from the drugstore, then you have no idea on on the impact a good hairbrush can have on your hair.
I know how hard it can be to pick the right hair brush since they come in many styles, materials, and designs – without a detailed label as shampoos do, it can be really confusing.
Don’t worry, i’m here to teach you the basics you’ll need to find the perfect hair brush for daily use.
- The material that bristles are made of.
- The spacing between the row of bristles is important
- The length of the bristles is important depending on your type of hair.
There are three types:
Natural: Known for producing glossy, shiny, and smooth strands thanks to its ability to evenly disperse and distribute your hair’s natural oils.
Synthetic: They make great detanglers.
Natural Synthetic mix (porcupine brush): Offers the same benefits from natural bristles as adding hair shine, but also allowing to untangle the hair better thanks to the synthetic material. (medium to thick dry hair).
What brushes might work for your type of hair:
Fine to normal hair: (Natural bristles) Boar, wooden/bamboo hair brush.
Normal to thick dry hair: (Mixed bristles) Boar and Nylon, wooden/bamboo hair brush.
Thinning delicate or damaged hair: (Natural bristles) wooden/bamboo, boar.
Very thick or coarse hair: (Synthetic and natural bristles) Nylon bristle brush,
wooden/bamboo brush (long pins)
Curly hair: (Natural and mixed bristles) Wooden hairbrush, Nylon mixed with boar bristles.
Hair extensions: (Natural bristles) Boar hairbrush
Baby hair: (Natural bristles) Goat hair, boar hair.
On my personal experience guys,
Since I have thick hair, I like to brush my hair either with a mixed bristles hair brush or wooden/bamboo hairbrush – which honestly is my favorite. This natural material works on all hair types.
I like to have one with long pins so they penetrate my thick hair. Helping me to detangle easily along with a gentle scalp massage that I receive thanks to such nice material.
Take note:
Natural boar hairbrush: This isn’t the brush you want to use to detangle your hair, it will only polish it. Unless you use a mixed hairbrush.
Metal bristles: Unless is for a wig stay away from them, even with soft plastic tips they are too inflexible to safely use on human hair.
Double bristle brushes (one long, one short) they can tear the hair.
The closer they are to each other, the better it will work for fine hair. The farther-apart the bristle are, it will be more beneficial for thick hair.
Curly and wavy hair benefits from a brush with wide bristle because it helps tame the frizz without breaking up natural texture.
Bristles length
The simple rule is the longer and thicker the hair is, the longer the bristles have to be, so they can more easily penetrate the hair to detangle and smooth.
They can help to protect the hair and scalp from damage, and they also provide a massage effect.
Let me tell you that I rather have my hairbrush with bristles that don’t come with a rounded tip. I do really like to feel the sensation of the pointed wooden pins running through my scalp as the material anyways is very gentle.
It’s a matter of personal preferences.
Note: if even one ball tip is missing, it is time for a new brush, any exposed bristle can cause damage.
How much brushing is too much?
There are no specific rules about this, but I have found through my hair and my friend’s experience that twice a day is more than enough for any type of hair.
Take into consideration that excessive brushing is not good (anything in excess is not good.)
A long time ago it was thought that 100 strokes of the brush each night before bed gave beautiful hair. That’s now considered really excessive, but brushing remains an important part of grooming and hygiene and it’s good for your hair, in moderation.
I personally like my hairbrush to have a cushion especially for my long hair. The bristles and cushion together are designed to collapse anytime they meet resistance.
So it prevents hair from stretching, breaking or splitting because less stress is put on the bristles so they can adjust to the contour of the scalp.
Note: Whenever you find an open hole on your hairbrush, do not worry, it is for the air to get inside the brush and maintain the action.

Nearly all of what you claim is supprisingly accurate and that makes me wonder why I hadn’t looked at this in this light previously. This piece really did turn the light on for me as far as this specific issue goes. Nonetheless there is 1 factor I am not necessarily too comfortable with and whilst I try to reconcile that with the main idea of the point, let me observe what the rest of the visitors have to point out.Nicely done.
