Treat your hair kindly by using a good brush. This is what to look for:

Bristles Brushes
The bristles must be evenly spaced, embedded in rubber, and attached to a sturdy handle. Rubber will cut down on the static electricity that is built up when you brush.

Dilutions of Crème
Don’t pull the brush through a tangle. Spray the tangle with a dilution of crème rinse to loosen it, then use your fingers to separate the tangle, then brush.

Ammonia
Wash the brush every other time you wash your hair. The best solution is to add a doll up of your shampoo with a few drops of ammonia in warm water.

Brush Massage
Give your self a frequent brush massage about once a week. Don’t overdo this –once a week is sufficient.

Scalp Chin Strokes
Brush with firm, regular stokes from scalp to the chin, until the scalp tingles – about 10 minutes. Then hold your hair in one hand and brush the ends below your chin. You don’t want to run the brush all the way through long hair in one stroke because it puts too much pressure on the root and could pull the shaft from its root. Finally, bend over and brush the underside from your nape to the top of your head in short, regular stokes.

Comb
Never brush soaking - wet hair, as the hair is quite elastic at this time and can be pulled and stretched to the breaking point. A wide - toothed comb is best for wet hair.

Remove Dirt Pollutants
Give your hair a good brushing before bed. This should be done by bending forward from the waist, head down, brushing from the back to front. Brush at least fifty to one hundred strokes. This will help remove dirt, pollutants and damaging particles from the hair in addition to stimulate circulation which will increase natural oils for added sheen and oxygen to the hair and scalp.
 
FIND A GOOD COMB

1) The teeth are widely spaced. You don’t want to use a comb that has thin, close teeth.

2) The comb should be sturdy and should not bend when you run it through your hair.

3) Use this comb after shampooing instead of a brush. Wet hair is not as strong as
dry hair, so you have to treat it gently.

4) Don’t pull the comb through a tangle. Spray the tangle with a dilution of crème
rinse to loosen it, then use your fingers to separate the tangle, then comb.

5) Wash the comb every other time you wash your hair. The best solution is to add a doll up of your shampoo with a few drops of ammonia in warm water.
