Tip 10: Use A Wide Tooth Comb

This tip is a pretty straight forward one, I'm not sure what to say about it. It's better to use a wide tooth comb in your hair than a paddle brush, especially in wet hair. A comb also makes it a lot harder to rip through your hair you almost HAVE to be carefuller. The 'teeth' and a wide tooth comb are farther apart so you're not ripping through all of your hair at once. It's just easier on your hair. So I suppose that's all for this tip.

Tip 3: Don't Brush Wet Hair

Again it's an extremely simple tip, making this an extremely short post. You hair is weakest when it's wet, so DON'T BRUSH IT WHEN IT'S WET. That includes right after you spray in heat protectant or any hair product. If your hair is wet, wait till it's dry to brush it. If you're like me and have curly hair you cannot possibly brush your hair when it's dry, it makes it puffy and ruins the curls, right? So our best bet is to brush it before your shower and be very gentle when you wash it so it doesn't tangle it too much. If you've succeeded then running your fingers through after your shower should be good. If after a shower you still feel the need to brush it make sure you're careful and patient with it and use the last tip- brushing it from the ends up!
Happy Hair Healing!

Tip 2: Be Gentle and Use Detangler

This is a pretty straight forward tip. Be gentle and use detangler. First of all a lot of us like to just rip through our hair when we brush it like it's not big deal. We're old enough that we don't scream at the pain and have learned to endure it so why not just make it quick and easy? Here's why, when you brush a whole tangle through your hair harshly it rips your hair so much, it's not even funny. It tears at your ends and destroys them completely. It literally ruins your hair. So when brushing your hair you always want to start at the ends and work your way up. That way it's not so hard on the ends of your hair. It's also way easier and hurts a lot less.

Also try using a detangler. I know some people may think it's for children who can't handle their hair being pulled at very hard but it's actually for everyone to reduce damage. In most cases the less it hurts your head, the less it's damaging your hair. But keep in mind that you want to wait for the detangler to try a bit otherwise you could get the opposite affect that you want. So spray in some detangler, wait a couple minutes for it to dry and work your way from the ends up!

Good luck on repairing your hair!
