Tips For Brushing Curly Hair 

Follow these steps for smooth and tangle-free curls.

1. Start With Damp Hair 

Dampen your curls before brushing, either after a shower or with a spray bottle. Wet hair is easier to manage and less likely to break. Preferably wash your hair with our Rice water and Angelica seed oil shampoo + conditioner combo. The shampoo reduces frizz while the conditioner gently detangles the hair to give you soft, moisturized curls.

2. Apply Leave-In Conditioner 

Use a leave-in conditioner or styling product to add moisture and reduce frizz. For the best results, make sure the product is evenly distributed from roots to ends. Use our Rice water and Angelica seed oil silicone free leave-in conditioner. It is infused with Rice water to give you frizz-free, hydrated and moisturized curls.

3. Use The Right Brush

Choose a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush designed for curly hair. These tools gently glide through your curls and help prevent damage.

4. Section Your Hair 

Divide your hair into smaller, manageable sections. Part it down the middle and then split each half into about three sections. This approach makes brushing easier and minimizes pulling.

5. Brush From The Bottom Up 

Begin brushing each section from the ends and work your way up. This technique helps reduce tangling and breakage, making the process smoother.

Mistakes To Avoid When Brushing Curly Hair

• Brushing Dry Hair: Always brush curls when damp. Wet hair is easier to detangle and less likely to break, while dry brushing can lead to frizz and damage.
• Using the Wrong Brush or Comb: Choose a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush for curly hair. These tools help prevent breakage and are more effective for untangling curls.
• Brushing Too Often: Only brush your curls when necessary, either on wash day or to refresh them. Over Brushing can disrupt your curl pattern and lead to breakage.
• Brushing from the Top Down: Start brushing from the ends of your hair and work your way up. This method helps to gently remove tangles without pulling on your hair or causing damage.
• Brushing with Excessive Force: Be gentle while brushing. Avoid pulling or tugging on your curls to prevent breakage and maintain curl health. Patience is important. So take your time with each section.
• Skip Hair Products: Apply a leave-in conditioner or styling product before brushing. This adds moisture, reduces frizz, and makes detangling easier, resulting in healthier and more defined curls.

Conclusion

Proper brushing is key to a healthy hair care routine. By brushing your curls while damp, using the right tools, and applying moisture-enhancing products, you can keep your curls defined, bouncy, and frizz-free. Avoid common mistakes like brushing dry hair or using inappropriate brushes to prevent damage and preserve your curl pattern. With these practices in place, you will effortlessly maintain stunning, healthy curls that shine daily.
