Brushing and Combing
- Always brush hair when it is dry. Brushing wet hair cause the ends to split.
- To brush hang your head down and brush away from the head first.
- While brushing tilt your head forward. This increases the blood supply to the head and stimulates the hair.
- Brushing distributes the hair’s natural oils along the hair.
- Fine hair needs a softer brush which does not scratch the head.
- Very thick and long hair needs a bigger brush with stiffer bristles.
- Short or curly hair needs a narrow brush with a longish rectangular head and bristles widely spaced in groups.
- Never use a sharp teethed brush. They tear the hair apart.
- Use a comb in which the teeth are widely spaced for thick hair and for combing wet hair.
- The easiest way to comb out knots (tangled hair) is to start at the ends and work gradually upwards.

The 100-strokes rule of hair brushing has its roots in necessity. Before hair conditioners were invented, women relied on hair’s sebum to moisturize strands – getting the sebum from hair’s root to hair’s tips required vigorous brushing.
