How To BRUSH & Detangle Your Hair (WITHOUT DAMAGING IT)

Most men brush their hair wrong. When it comes to brushing hair, guys tend to start at the scalp and force their way through all the knots and tangles until they reach the end. This is the perfect storm for breakage and damage.
In this video, I go over the main cause of hair breakage (hint: brushing your hair wrong), if you should brush your hair wet or dry, and several hair brushing mistakes I see many men make and how to prevent them.

So I realize I forgot to mention how OFTEN to brush. For straight/wavy hair, I would say twice a day is best. Detangle once in the morning and once before bed. If you have curly hair it’s probably best to only brush on wash days to maintain the integrity of the curls longer. And it’s already wet from washing which reduces damage.

My hair goes way down my back, about 24 inches from scalp to end and I found my hair gets more damage when dry brushing and I find wet brushing/detangling. I never took care of my hair until it reached that arm pit length you got and I realized the longer it got the harder it was to maintain. That's why long hair takes so much haircare throughout the day.

Hey I'm gonna drop some of what I learned with my own hair and hopefully it can help anyone who reads this. So on my wash days I take my brush into the shower and use is to detangle hair with conditioner in it to help me run through it. I go from tip to root and anytime I encounter a tangle I give back down and attack it from below. I also noticed that if I cup the hair in my palm and comb it from the other side against my palm, it instantly provides me with some kind of leverage to unlock the tangle without resistance. I then towel dry my hair after rinsing and comb it again before it fully dries. That way when I go to style it, it is tangle free. Lastly I found that Ausse leave in conditioner works for detangling hair on the go even better than my Redkin leave in conditioner. And as far as keeping it frizz free which turns into tangles during the day. I use a tiny bit of argan oil. Just enough to lubricate it without making it greasy.

Now I might have to change up the routine which would take some getting used too in the meantime. Again, thank you

I think its been acknowledged by most curly hair people, including myself, that wet brushing prevents alot of breakage for us. I use a 'Wet Brush'. the bristiles are thin, flexible, short and they sit on a flexible cushion. I brush thru with a slippery detangler/conditioner. Wet curly hair straightens out and doesn't stick to each other as much imho. The Tek brush looks better than most, but the larger bristles would cause more friction and pull on hair imho. I can see why Trav is ok with it, fine straight hair is miles easier to brush/comb thru. I think the mildest brush would be a boar bristle brush, it just won't detangle very well as the bristles won't be able to go too deep, imho.

And recommendations for a thicker brush with straight pins besides the tek brand been using it for along times works great but my hairs super thick and sometimes causes breakage even working from the ends up I was thinking a more wider type brush to work on the knots that would work then switch to the tek brush I also use oils conditioners everything mentioned aswell hairs past my back some my hair types dry wavy straight?

For me it's harder to start combing/brushing from the ends which is the thickest and messiest part. So i usually start from the base, at 1/3 hair length brush away from the head, restart from that point and repeat until i reach the ends.

I'm a guy thats always liked to wear my hair long. However, the problem I've always had is mine is curly and when long it tangles so bad with rats to comb through. Which many times in the past has kept me from keeping it long. When mine is wet like after a bath, it's tangle city. And it sucks getting into the 50s now as I feel sometimes too old and not youthfully attractive to do this style although I like it. In my family thinning hair has also been an issue, my older brother is almost bald. I've been fairly lucky so far although it is thinning in the front which is frustrating. But will try these techniques combing wet next time.
