Steps for a proper hair brushing and detangling

It’s the most common gesture. It is necessary and you repeat it everyday, but are you doing it correctly? Although untangling the hair seems to be an easy task you will be amazed to find out that most of the times we don’t do it so well and our hair lacks brightness and health. Follow our tips and you will effortlessly transform your hair with your paddle brush.

  1. Brushing frecuency

Before starting, remember that it is very important you do it daily and especially at night before going to bed. Why? Because in doing so, we remove remaining pollution rests or dirt from the hair and we also avoid further knots while sleeping (the right thing to do is to do a loose braid afterwards).

2. How to brush the hair

Few people know that the right brushing is done from within the hair and not from without, as you can see in the picture. Why? Because when you brush it from within you make the edges acquire a natural shape inward and this way you avoid the frizz and the rub of the cuticules. The hair looks then brighter and healthier. While if you brush from without, then the edges of the new hair or cut hair, rise up due to static electricity.

3. How to untangle the hair

In order to untangle the hair, you should start with the edges and once untangled, you should brush upward to the root. The day when you wash it, it would be better if you would untangle it before having a shower until you untangle it further with the fingers after applying hair conditioner or hair mask on the hair. If your hair usually entangles a lot when washing it, I advise you to put some oil on after the shower, dry it and apply anew some more oil while you untangle it with a brush like this.

4. The paddle hairbrush

Thanks to its size, the brushing is faster and more effective, as a bigger proportion of hair fit in the brush.

5. Waves look

If you wish to get undefined curls or an XL curl or just curls on water you will just need to pass the brush across the hair after curling it, smoothly but without fear (once the hair is cold, it doesn’t lose its shape) and this way you will unite all of the curls. (you should always curl the hair in the same direction)

6. For curly hair

It’s the ideal brush for curly hair. Thanks to its broad and apart teeth it untangles the hair without parting it and avoids the frizz. As you already know, curly hair is very delicate and must be handled with great care.
Apart from being ideal to untangle wet hair thanks to the distribution of its teeth, its anti-slip material is essential for an effective brushing without grip problems.

7. Other uses of the paddle hairbrush that you don’t know

It has also other uses apart from the brushing/untangling. It can also be used for instance to straighten your hair with the hairdryer. Its square shape is fantastic for a fast brushing, to take out the frizz, dry the long hair and shape it (if the hair is curly, you can best straighten it with the help of a round brush; while if your hair is very curly, it is better to use a hair straightener; and in the case of slightly wavy hair or straight hair with frizz it is better to straighten the hair naturally). In the following link you can watch a quick tutorial on how to do a brushing with a brush.

8. The benefits of the paddle hairbrush

Last but not least, its round teeth will massage your scalp while you untangle it and this way you will stimulate the blood flow and oxygenate the follicule preventing the loss of hair.

As you have seen, the brush can be used in a great number of ways. It has to be with you in your boudoir, inside your travelling toilet bag and in your daily routine. It will solve your problems by just one gesture. Your hair will look shinier, healthier and more beautiful and you will realice that you have done a good investment in the Termix brush.
