All four are members of Spain’s highest quality distinction in hairdressing, QHair. And together they stand up for the importance of this daily gesture, essential for hair care: hair brushing. It is important to know how and when to use it but also to choose the right tool. Saúl Sancho, Albert Catalán, Julián Gijón and Toni Pérez, present together with Termix, the best professional tips for proper hair brushing.

For most of them, hair brushing takes them to their childhood and is a moment for themselves. For others, the new times are erasing values that have been passed down from generation to generation. In any case, they all agree in one thing: hair brushing is much more than just detangling your hair. “Proper hair brushing is one of the most important elements in the maintenance and rejuvenation of healthy and beautiful hair”, says Albert Catalán. “It also avoids hair loss; it helps renewing the hair and making it stronger”, adds Saúl Sancho. “And it is cleansing, as it removes toxins and wastes that daily attach in our hair and scalp”, explains Toni Pérez.

Thus, hair brushing is one of the most important steps in daily hair care. However, the benefits of hair brushing depend on choosing the right tool. “It seems simple and not important, but there are many people who don’t know which is the proper hair brush for them and how they have to use it”, underlines Julián Gijón. “And not coming up with the right tool can even be quite damaging for their hair”, he adds. “There are hair brushes that are more versatile than others. But knowing the differences between one hair brush or another makes a big difference in the results. This is why it is important to know its function and choose always a high-quality and professional tool”, highlights Saúl Sancho.

After choosing the right tool, the second thing to know is how to use it. “For detangling always try to avoid wet hair, and start by the bottom and last in the roots”, says Albert Catalán. And Last but not least, choose the right moment to do it and with the proper tools for hair health.
