Hair care tips #2

Combing/Brushing
Use a  brush whose bristles are made from natural
animal hairs, it is softer and more  flexible, which means less damage will be
done to your hair.
Hair is most fragile when it is  wet so avoid brushing or combing
when it's wet, or else it will cause breakage.  Wait until your hair is almost
completely dry before brushing it.
Use brushes/combs with widely  spaced bristles/teeth and smooth tips.
Sharp tooth combs can damage your hair,  cause split ends, and scratch your
scalp.
To keep your brushes and combs  clean, wash them weekly using soap or
shampoo.
Comb your hair to remove any  tangles before brushing it.
Begin by combing your hair  gently at the ends to get any tangles out
and work your way up to the base of  your hair.
Always brush/comb with a  downwards stroke.
Avoid using plastic  brushes/combs which create static electricity
Shampooing and Conditioning
Buy shampoos & conditioners that match your hair type.
Trial and  error is the best way to find out what specific hair product is best
for your  hair.
Shower with warm water; hot  water can dry and/or irritate the
scalp
