Combing your hair is more important than it looks and has an impact on hair health. What is the right rhythm to avoid damaging the fiber too much? We have the answer.
When it comes to unraveling the mystery surrounding the rhythm of hair brushing, theories follow each other and are not the same. Some people brush more than 5 times a day to prevent knot formation, while others practice this activity only once a week or even once a month. So who should we trust? It all depends on your hair type because the needs are not the same if it is straight, curly or even textured. We explain it to you!
The right brushing rhythm for straight hair

The right brushing rhythm for curly, curly or textured hair
Curly, curly or textured hair does not need to be combed as often as straight hair. Why ? Because after drying, the curls are not flexible enough to dissolve without breaking. There is only one solution to avoid this phenomenon: brush while hair is damp and previously covered with a conditioner or mask. So doing this exercise once a week or less (depending on your washing rhythm) is more than enough to maintain the health of your curly, frizzy or textured hair.

A wooden brush or a wide-toothed comb are the two main objects to use to detangle hair and remove dirt that has accumulated over the course of the week.
