Many people stick to a daily hair care routine to help keep their locks strong and smooth.
One common hair brushing mistake might actually do more harm than good.
According to aTikTokvideo by salon owner and hairstylist Michele Pritchard, you should never brush your hair horizontally.
This trick may not work with all types of hair brushes.
For example, most round brushes are meant to be used horizontally, not vertically, perByrdie.
However, many paddle-style and detangling brushes check out when it comes to the vertical bristle test.
Light tangles can eventually lead to stubborn knots, where multiple hairs become wrapped and tied together.
Some people may even end up ripping and pulling out knotted hairs by aggressively brushing them out.
Aside from holding your brush vertically,Healthlineoffers a few other tips for proper hair brushing.
For dry hair, be sure to work in sections, beginning near the tips rather than the roots.
And remember, not every person’s hair requires the same treatment.
Adjust your hair habits based on your uniquehair throw in.
