Why Do We Need Different Hair Brushes For Different Hair Types?

Benefits of Brushing

Marilyn Monroe used to brush her hair for 15 minutes every night, and her hair was natural, glowing, and gorgeous. Who doesn't want healthy hair that will glow wherever you go?

Brushing our hair thoroughly should be a part of everyone's daily routine. It has lots of great benefits such as:

• Massaging your scalp. Brushing your hair reduces stress and stimulates the blood vessels in the scalp, causing the sebaceous glands to release sebum (natural oils), which coats your scalp and hair, allowing for a balanced pH, and keeping your hair healthy.

• For oily hair, depending on the type of brush you use, excess oils can be removed. For dryer hair, some brushes will spread your hair's natural oils more evenly from hair root to tip.

• Detangling your hair and keeping it hydrated can help prevent split ends.

Now that we agree that brushing often is good, did you know that the hairbrush you use will significantly impact your hair health? Some brushes will be better suited for your hair needs than others, and choosing the right one can make the difference between a good hair day and a bad hair day. As many brushes are on the market, do you know what brush type is right for you? do you know what brush type is right for you?

Types of Hair Brushes

Wet Brush Detangling Paddle Cushion Hair Brush

What is a Detangle Brush?

These brushes are specially designed to remove knots and tangles. Detangling brushes are ideal for those who have difficult, rebellious, wild hair. Depending on the brush, you can use them while your hair is dry or wet. Using these brushes correctly will help extend the lifetime of the brush. If you use your detangling brush in the shower, you should not have to worry about tugging, snagging, or pulling out your hair. A leave-in conditioner will help it glide smoothly and effortlessly if you use a detangler on dry hair.

What is a Paddle Brush?

Paddle brushes allow you to brush through large portions of hair at once, making them very convenient for long or thick hair. Paddle brushes with an air-cushioned base and ball-tipped bristles help gently and evenly stimulate the scalp without damaging it. A paddle brush will also allow air or blow drying your hair.

What is a Natural Bristle Brush?

Natural bristle brushes, especially soft bristles, can be beneficial for thinning or delicate hair. Choosing between soft or hard bristle brushes is generally up to the user’s preference. Soft bristle brushes are gentle enough to style, straighten, and add shine to hair, without damaging it. While hard bristle brushes accomplish the same, they are usually better for thicker hair and less sensitive scalps. Both will spread your hair’s natural oils, balancing your pH and preventing the growth of fungi and bacteria on your hair and scalp.

What is a Round Brush?

Round brushes are the best hairbrushes to get the hair at the roots to move out from the scalp. This is the ideal brush to use when you are blow-drying your hair as these brushes tend to preserve your hair's volume by straightening hair without affecting its shape. Depending on the look you want, thinner barrels will give more volume and shape, while thick barrels will leave your hair straight. A thinner round-brush barrel creates tighter curls and gives volume if you have short hair, while brushes with thicker barrels are known to straighten hair and create subtle waves.

Finding the perfect hairbrush may seem like overkill for the average person, however, like good socks or a comfy mattress, finding the perfect brush might improve your quality of life drastically.
