Disadvantages of not brushing your hair regularly

The problems of forgetting to brush your hair regularly and letting your hair get tangled is much worse than the pain of untying it. When you allow your hair, particularly if it’s long, to get tangled, you’re damaging it much more than you think. There’s the obvious pain of detangling it, and then all the breakage this will cause, especially if you have to brush it wet, but it makes the hair very weak. It causes split ends and frizzy, weak and dull hair and then you’ll have to spend hundreds of pounds buying hair products and hair masks just to make it look good again.

The damage that vigorous brushing does is grossly underestimated. If you want to have beautiful, shiny and healthy hair, you need to make sure that it does not get tangled. This is much easier than the hours most of us spend styling our hair. Just use a good conditioner and brush every night before bed, if you’re particularly prone to tangling tie your hair up when you sleep. There are several products on the market, sprays and conditioners that are specially designed to stop tangling, and that is what you want, to stop it. Don’t just fix it when it gets knotty, but prevent it from happening in the first place!

Doing this will keep your hair healthy, stop breakage, and make it shinier. Just like skin, good-looking hair really is healthy hair! So remember to brush your teeth AND your hair before you go to bed.
