Are You Brushing Your Hair the Right Way?

It seems simple enough—just run a brush through your hair and you’re good to go, right? Not quite. How you brush your hair matters more than you think. Done incorrectly, brushing can lead to breakage, split ends, and even long-term thinning. But when done properly, it can stimulate the scalp, boost circulation, and enhance shine.

Why Brushing Technique Matters

Brushing isn’t just about detangling. It’s an essential part of a healthy hair routine. The right brush and method can help distribute your scalp’s natural oils down the hair shaft, reduce product buildup, and even exfoliate your scalp.

3 Common Brushing Mistakes

  • Starting from the roots: This creates tension and tugging, especially on knots. Always start from the ends and work your way up to avoid breakage.
  • Brushing wet hair with the wrong tool: Hair is more fragile when wet. Using a flexible-bristle brush like our Denman Hair Brush helps minimize damage.
  • Skipping the scalp: Brushing your scalp gently stimulates blood flow, which is key for hair growth and scalp health.

Meet Your New Favorite Brush: The Denman

The Denman Hair Brush is a cult favorite for a reason. Its flexible, widely spaced bristles glide through hair without tugging or breaking strands. It’s great for all hair types—especially those with fine or fragile hair prone to tangling and shedding.

Brushing Tips for Healthier Hair

  • Use gentle, downward strokes. Don’t rush or yank through tangles.
  • Clean your brush regularly. Product buildup and hair residue can harbor bacteria and irritate your scalp.
  • Brush daily, even if you don’t style. This keeps the scalp stimulated and helps prevent matting or knots.
