Protecting Curly Hair

In order to appropriately style curly hair or any hair for that matter you should protect the hair with quality accessories. By accessories we are talking about quality hair care products, brushes, irons, dryers and other needed equipment. Using the wrong types of products or the harsh treatment of the hair can lead to damage hair that breaks and splits.

Women with curly hair are at a higher risk of damage due to tangles in the hair. To ensure that you do not damage the hair use a natural boar bristle brush. Not only will the natural boar bristle protect the hair it also will massage the scalp, therefore stimulating growth. To avoid drying and breaking, give the Denman Boar Brush (D82M) a try for a straighter appearance rather than the flat iron that can damage the hair.

When you hair is wet it is more susceptible to damage so be careful with your hair. To protect your wet hair from brushing try combing through first with a leave in conditioner. Not only does this protect the hair from brushing while it is wet, it also protects when blow drying and styling. The Denman Classic Brush (D4) is the one to use on wet hair. If you have a tender head of hair the Denman Paddle Brush (D83) should be the brush of choice for your curly hair care.

Another good tip for combing wet hair is to use a wide tooth comb to work through the conditioner. The wide tooth comb keeps the hair from being pulled or damaged during the process. Hair care is an important aspect in appearance, and unfortunately the hair can be damaged rather easily. The Super Rake Detangler comb and Curl Detangler hand pick are excellent choices to enhance your curly hair care. Not only will using the appropriate

tools keep you from damaging your hair it will also keep you from pulling your hair out in the process.

For extra tangles or sensitive scalps part the hair into sections, keeping a good hold to run the comb through. Another way to ease the pain of detangling is to apply a coat of moisturizer before combing through.
