Luckily, there’s a brush designed to combat just that.
It’s large, flat, and rectangular.
It typically has a pillow-like air cushion and bristles made of plastic (viaAll Things Hair).
It tends to work best on straight hair.
And, since it’s anti-static, it will give you a smooth, shiny head of hair.
Also, a pro tip: Use your paddle brush vertically rather than horizontally (viaTikTok).
Brushing with the handle to the side is acommon hair mistake.
The bristles are placed to best detangle hair in a vertical position so as not to catch the hair.
This method will make a huge difference in your hair health.
If you have thick, beautiful curls, a wide-toothed comb on wet hair is likely your best bet.
Brushing dry curly hair leads to a lot of frizz.
A detangling brush is also a wonderful choice for curls (viaHealthline).
Other tips for healthy thick hair
Keeping your thick hair healthy and breakage-free requires some preventative steps.
Shampooing strips your hair of its natural oils and over-washing can lead to dry, frizzy hair.
Try letting your hair air-dry more often than not to let it recover from heat damage.
The same goes for lavender hair oil.
As far as internal methods go, try drinking green tea and taking nettle supplements.
Your healthy, luscious hair will thank you for these rituals.
