For most of us, brushing our hair is part of the "daily routine" that takes place every morning. Brushing your hair is very beneficial because it distributes your natural oils throughout your hair. If you have been to a salon or beauty supply store, you may have seen numerous brushes in many shapes, sizes and price ranges. The brushes are made for different purposes and different usage. Here is some basic information about brushes.
A flat paddle hair brush is best for standard daily use, and is the best choice for your daily hair brushing routine. This brush can be used on all hair types, and is the most common brush for this type of use.
Instead of a brush, you may want to buy a pick if you have curly hair. Picks allow you to easily separate each of the curls when treating your hair and will prevent damage. Picks are also good if you are trying to add volume to hairstyles, like an Afro.
Select a round brush if you are trying to add body to your hair. A round brush used during blow drying will add extra volume to your hairstyle. Medium bristles are generally preferred for this style of brush, but choose the type of bristles that work best for you.
Brushes containing round plastic balls at the end of the bristles are fairly common and this can help protect your hair. It prevents the bristles of the brush from tearing at your hair and causing split ends. They also serve as a barrier between the bristles and your scalp.
Ask your stylist for a recommendation on the best brush shape for your hair and how to use the brush when styling your own hair, too. Many hair stylists use products that can be purchased in stores. You will find a large selection of brushes in beauty supply shops, and catalogs. Don't be afraid to try out different brushes to find the one that works best for you.
