Combs and hairbrushes seem so commonplace that we don't even think about them. A well-chosen brush and/or comb can significantly influence the
beauty and health of your hair , while the wrong ones can even cause serious damage. When it comes to hair care, it's not just shampoos and conditioners that are important, but also all the accessories you use to style your hair. The worst things for hair are, of course, straighteners and curlers, which require high temperatures. Using the wrong brushes or combs can also cause some damage. Did you know that it is not advisable to comb your wet and
dry hair with the same comb? The selection of brushes and combs below can help you make the right choice...
The best brush for wet hair
A kidney-shaped plastic brush is best for tangles in wet hair, but how you use the brush is very important. Comb your hair from the bottom up, from the tips to the roots, using short strokes. It's important not to pull on the hair, as this could damage it. Be patient. Some people also use such brushes for dry hair, but this can make hair greasy more quickly because plastic bristles do not remove dust and excess hair oil.
The best brush for dry hair
A boar bristle brush delivers shiny hair by distributing the natural oils (which create the appearance of greasy hair) from the roots throughout the entire length of the hair. It harnesses the hair's natural moisture and provides a healthy shine. The boar bristles also remove dust and other impurities that accumulate on the scalp.
The right comb for “rough” hair
If your hair is really thick, making it a real challenge to comb, it's best to use a comb with widely spaced teeth. Again, it's important to comb your hair from the ends to the roots.
The brush for quickly drying your hair
This brush provides better ventilation when drying with a dryer and promises to cut drying time by almost half. It's suitable for both curly and straight hair.
The brush for creating volume in the hair
A good old round brush, which you probably already have at home, is still the best way to create volume while drying your hair. For an even better effect, try a round brush with a ceramic coating, which best transfers heat from the dryer to your hair, creating even more lasting and extra volume.
The best comb for toupees
The best solution is still a comb with narrow teeth. The results are even better when these teeth are surrounded by boar bristles. They increase volume and further reduce the risk of damage to the hair.
