2. Know Your Hair Type
You already know if your hair is curly, wavy, or straight but what
about other important characteristics?
To figure out what type of hair you have follow this one easy step:
Run your fingers through your hair
A crunch, it's dry
Slickness or like there's product even though
If you feel ... there isn't, it's oily
Your fingers getting stuck, it's thick
Your fingers gliding through, it's thin

3. Choose the Right Brush
Don't grab just any brush at the store!
Find the one that's right for your hair.
You might even need a comb instead of a brush.
Do you have:
thick hair? thin hair? coarse hair? fine hair?
curly? wavy? straight?

4. Brush Gently
Don't declare war on knots!
Yanking on your hair WILL cause breakage
Split ends don't come from dry hair, they
cause it!
When you brush start from the bottom and work your way up

5. Add a Comb
Most women just use a brush
because it seems to be the
standard
Using a comb will force you to
brush slower
That means less breakage
Breakage causes dryness, so
without breakage you will
automatically have healthier hair

6. Picking the Right Shampoo & Conditioner
The type of shampoo and
conditioner you use really
depends on the type of hair you
have
For example: Dry hair needs a
moisturizing shampoo and a
thick creamy conditioner to
replenish

shampoo on thick frizzy hair,
you'd need something to relax
it and make it sleek

conditioner can work wonders
on your hair
