You can brush your hair before you go to bed, so throughout the night the curls form back again. I have wavy hair so this works for me, can’t say the same for super curly hair
@@camcam794don’t worry, brush styling while wet is still safe for curls. For straight hair, maybe your hair will get damaged from brushing while wet, but for curls you have a higher chance of damage from dry brushing because the tangles are much more intense, therefore more snagging. Straight hair-care tips are almost never good for anyone with a natural curls pattern
I have fine oily hair . This brush dont work for my hair at all and i Can only skip 1 day without washing and Its still super oily . 4 days … Forget it 😂😂😂😂
I can only skip one day a week of washing and that’s only because no one will see me lol. My oily hair is crazy. But my skin gets crazy dry from washing so often so I’ll skip one day to let my scalp and skin rest.
I feel you seriously and I have long hair so it’s really a hassle to wash and dry it everyday also some hydrating shampoos make my hair greasy so I can only use clarifying shampoos. The whole process is so time consuming and affects my time management heavily.
I clean mine in a bowl with soapy water and a nail brush. I fully submerge it in the bowl and scrub it clean with the nail brush. Then rinse well and leave it on a towel with the bristles facing down to dry.
I really like how you always show where you found the information from. It’s something that needs to happen in general more often with people online, and I appreciate how much you do it:) it’d be really great if you could post the links to the studies in the description too! Great video:)
I have 2C hair so technically I can brush it, but if I do I’ll look like even crazier than Albert Einstein if he got stuck in a tornado. The only time I brush my hair is when I’m about to shampoo it.
Use a wooden bristle brush instead! I can only use a boar bristles on blown out hair, but I use a wood bristle brush on my mini twists and it has almost the same effect
There’s also a thing called scalp washing, where you wrap the ends of the hair in a plastic bag and just rinse or shampoo the scalp on its own. There videos of this on UA-cam with people from straight to curly hair have tried and found success with it. I hope this helps anyone wanting a different option. :)
My partner is similar we brush his hair and then either yo the wet refresh curly girl method or braid his hair with a little hair oil and it tames it back down
Same!! I've had straight hair all my life and suddenly I have wavy/curly hair so i have no idea how to maintain it anymore. Do you have any advice for a novice 🥲
@@twinkle7389I also had straight hair my whole life then during puberty my hair changed I know I’m not the person you were talking to but something you could do to make you waves/curls more defined would be to use a gel or mousse for you hair and then break the cast on you’re hair by using a hair oil I would also recommend buying products that are specifically made for your hair and for a hair mousse I would suggest using not your mother’s curl talk mousse.👍

Yes, the brush picks up the oil, but where does it go? It just stays in the brush as you run it back through your hair, causing an oily scalp, even though you just washed it.
If I would go 4 days without washing Vaseline would sue me for copy rights 😅 Plus I've been using brushes like these and it doesn't make any difference, unless I'm using them for blow-drying - ads shine and volume
@@black-ij3ui I have really fine slightly wavey hair. My mom always used that kind of brush on me as a kid and when I've tried it as an adult it's been a frizzy disaster.
I have tried a few boar Bristol brushes and they just don't work for me. Even the stuff ones don't seem to touch my scalp despite me having straight hair. Also they are basically unwashable
Literally, I just wash it every second day sometimes every day, it doesn't matter how much you wash your hair as long as you ad oil to your ends before washing and hydrate your scalp afterwards- I apply a salicylic acid toner or a scalp serum then I mix that popular snail mucin essence with a light moisturizer and I apply a small amount of that to my scalp, finally I ALWAYS apply leave in conditioner to my hair, one that's silicone free and has some oils, proteins and antioxidants 😍 Ik it's alot but I NEVER get split ends or dry hair even tho I wash it almost everyday :)
Just wash it more often, unfortunately that's what we must do if we chose to style it with our natural curl. If you decide to use heat styling, then you can brush it out, provided the style still holds after brushing

What leave-in condicioner do you use? I´m looking for one for my oily hair, so it has to be really lightweight and I can´t find any good recs for it :´(
Would love a video on the pros/cons of different brushes. I use a wide tooth comb 90% of the time, and a plastic wet brush (the kind with no balls on the bristles) 10% because I thought it was the most gentle.
Meanwhile I only brush my wavy hair on wash days and still go up to 5 days without washing. Actually I find the contrary, the more time I spend sleeping, maintaining contact between my scalp and the pillow, the oiler it gets. It gets more oily if I touch it more too. So I just find that not touching or doing anything at all with it is the best.
I can see you keep growing your hair, I wonder what's your desired length. You would look beautiful as a rapunzel. I know it's not for everyone but your hair is sooo healthy 😍
Even though I have wavy hair, I actually do this from day three on. I know it "messes up my curlpattern" but If I want my waves to be bouncy, I just spray water on my hair after carefully drybrushing it. If I'm fine with looser & fluffy hair, I brush each wave & slightly twist the brush in the direction of the "curlclump" that actually works with my hairtype ( well, atleast when there's a decent amount of sebum on my hair & I use a (faux-) boar bristle brush. I can finally go up to 5 days without washing my hair 😅 I wouldn't go longer than that though, because at some point, I start wearing it in the same bun every day & that can cause some serious hairline beakage. Be smarter than me guys....
I noticed that when I brushed down the scalp oil to the rest of my hair, I had to wash it more often. I have flat and very fine hair so of course it doesn't work for me, but if you can do it and have very dry tips then I can see how it's good 😊
I absolutely love these brushes! But the dust buildup was absolutely insane. I’d pull as much dust out as I could after every use and put it in a draw but after a week it was unrecognisable. I looked after my hair and wore a cap at night, didn’t understand at all! I’d wash it and it would take too long to dry and id need to use it, it was such a pain in the butt. I think buying 2 would be a good idea and just cycle it!
I have brittle high porosity hair that is prone to breakage. Apart from the fact that this kind of brush turns my hair into a poofy mess (it can always be styled back) it is terrible for hair like mine because it causes breakage on my fragile follicles. I only use a comb after ouling my hair 😢
I started using a Mason Pearson brush and absolutely love it! It gets through my thick coarse long hair. It’s able to distribute the oils from my scalp onto my long hair. I bought a legitimate Mason Pearson. There are many “Look alike” fake MP brushes out there. I bought mine from Neiman Marcus and a fake one from EBay. The fake could not reach my scalp. I have very thick hair. The real MP is a game changer. Never going back to a cheap brush. No comparison. I’ve owned probably 100s and most are in my graveyard of crap that cost way more than it’s worth.
And then there is my scalp: so oily that the boar bristle brush just soaks the oil, and then redistributes it all along the strands as I continue brushing. Which would be a very good thing, if the amount of oil wasn’t enough to weigh even my ends down. Crazy, crazy, crazy.
relatable. i did the whole crazy brushing and medieval combing methods to distribute the oils, so my hair could be conditioned and my scalp got less oily. nope, turns out when your scalp is THAT greasy, distributing the oils just makes your whole head look greasy and it looks better to just let the oil pile on your scalp. not a great alternative. id rather just wash more frequently at this point but i don’t have the time to do a whole 30 minute wash day with the pre shower oils and massages and damage treatments multiple times a week.
@@imawakemymindisalive13 I used to wash everyday, (perhaps even twice a day, sometimes) before my dermatologist berated me like a child. There has only been one trick that has been life changing for me, in the sense that it saves me tons of time (and money, to be fair). I read that people started using starch instead of dry shampoo, and it is the one thing that helped me reduce my washes to twice a week. I don't know why the literal starch I would otherwise use in cooking would help this much, given that the active ingredient of dry shampoo is ALSO starch, but dry shampoo does almost nothing for me. I use a clean makeup brush or a salt shaker to target my roots, and use clarifying shampoo a bit often to fight any buildup. If my roots continue weighing down even after it all, I go in with some volumizing mousse to give them more body and prevent that greasy shine. Gets me three days of clean looking hair, every single time. Never got any odor or problems with my scalp, and my hair's been growing without a hitch for a year. Sorry for the wall of text, but if this helps you or anybody, I'd be really glad!
I LOVE boar brushes and used them for years and years but definitely dont feel like it helps with extending days between washing. If anything it looks more oily cause its spreading downwards
wow, that is seriously impressive. i’m 16, and i’ve gone up to 17 days without washing my hair because of depression and physical illness at the same time.
@@imawakemymindisalive13 I have thin flat hair that should be washed everyday . I suffer from depression too and have not washed my hair for 3 days over a weekend .
I haven’t washed my hair in months and its fine. I only use a natural conditioner, my hair smells good, it doesn’t get super fluffy and curls more, also its not super soft unlike how shampoo makes it feel but hey, at least I’m not killing all the natural oil in my hair.
Is it true that you should use a moisturizing shampoo if you have eczema on your scalp but greasy hair the next day? Is your scalp over compensating by producing more oil si cells it's not getting enough moisture? Ty!❤
Yes! But, I just want to let everyone know that if you watch haircare tips online and it says stuff like was yiu hair once a week you don’t have to follow it to have perfect hair! Many of those people have thick brown hair which doesn’t need to be washed often but if you have blonde hair especially you are ALLoWED to wash you hair daily or every second day as long as you aren’t putting in a lot of shampoo!
I usually don't have too much trouble with oily hair, so long as I stick to my hair washing schedule. I moved states this year and am having my first summer here, it gets really humid. Every morning I wake up with oily, sweaty hair. Even when I washed it the previous night. I'm losing my mind.
a brush with wooden bristles. They are easier to use too since they aren't that different from regular brushes. (A boar bristle brush is difficult to clean and not suitable for a lot of hairtypes because it's like brushing your hair with a lice comb. I had one years ago and in hindsight it pulled way to much on my hair, took forever to use and i eventually had to throw it out because you can't clean it properly). For me brushing my hair makes it look way more grasy but i think it's a hair type thing (if you have any sort of curlpatern i don't think brushing will help - made me more greasy anyway). I think Abbey sometimes forget there are more hairtypes and most studies are on pin straight hair.
Which boar bristle brushes do you recommend? There are so many on the market, and so many that are hybrids with other materials (ie: fakes)....I don’t know to find a genuine one or how to even begin shopping for them. Any tips??
I have that exact Belula brush pictured. This morning as I brushed my hair on the third day after washing, I was thinking how perfect and free this hair oil was that I was distributing! I know curly girls may not be able to do this and that is sad. Both of my daughters have curly hair from their dad. It is beautiful, but a process to care for it.
Question, I’ve recently had to wash my hair everyday. Got a slighter shorter BOB cut and even noticing very oily hair not even a full 24 hours. My hair is coloured with a wella semi at the salon. And is now very healthy. How can I go longer between washes. The whole thing takes too long when I’m working. Thanks ❤
@@caitroseco6752 lol I feel like it won't be thorough enough for my liking. The porousness will absorb the shampoo water too lol..maybe I'm too much of a germaphobe 😅
I bought one but feel like my hair is just too damaged for it. It really helps with the oil, but my hair right now breaks even when I detangle with my fingers 😓
Make sure to keep them clean though! Use the end of a rat tail comb or the little metal comb it comes with to take the hair out, then just rub some shampoo onto the bristles, rinse, and let dry. Do NOT submerge it in water.
That's actually healthy. I don't buy into this training your hair, because the longer you go without washes, your hair will be drier and scalp will be covered in sweat, dirt and oil. I see so many girls now with hair that looks awful and like it's covered in syrup. I'm sorry but I prefer healthy styled hair like I just left the salon
Got this brush like a year ago, love it and all, it Is soooo comfortable on my scalp, basically a mini massage, BUT i cannot seem to clean it well, the gunk is like stuck in the roots of the boar bristles. Any tips people🥺? Tried water and shampoo, picking with like hair sticks/needles etc
Using hair oil before bed works well for me. Gives it all night to soak in so it doesn’t look like a greedy mess. Also, a satin pillow case and putting my hair up (gentle ponytail) at night keeps my dry ends from getting tangled and scraggly.
Wait so I purchased a wooden hair brush for this purpose because I heard it distributes the oils and now I have to buy this kind of brush? So it’s no longer a wooden brush with wooden bristles?
The last two appointments were 8 (6-8 months apart) when I went to cut I had to cut away the 4-10 cm that had grown back because it was thin, stringy and no longer curled what am I doing wrong? There are so many of them at the top, voluminous and strong from chest to stomach they became thinner and

They’re boar bristle brushes :)

Do the boar bristles one with regular bristles mixed in work just as good?
Which boar bristle brushes do you recommend? There are so many on the market, and so many that are hybrids with other materials (ie: fakes)....I don’t know to find a genuine one or how to even begin shopping for them. Any tips??
How do u clean the brush? How often? Or, in couple of month get a new brush?!
What about silk fibers bristles??
omg I have the exact same hair brush
Hard to wash these wooden brushes. So i got a plastic denman one. It has both nylon and natural bristles.
Where i can buy
Is there a particular type or brand of boar bristle brush you recommend
First! --how often should you use hair masks?
When you wash. She washes her hair once a week
This might be a dumb question, but if the bristles pick up the oil, does that mean you have to clean the brush?
What do you think of these
hair porosity videos?

Can you recommend one?
MY hair is so thick it's almost impossible to have a soft boar bristle brush get thru the thickness little lone touching the scalp.
I have that exact Belula brush pictured. This morning as I brushed my hair on the third day after washing, I was thinking how perfect and free this hair oil was that I was distributing! I know curly girls may not be able to do this and that is sad. Both of my daughters have curly hair from their dad. It is beautiful, but a process to care for it.
Can you wash a brush like this?
My brush only lasted a few months. It got fuzzy stuff in it that I couldn’t get out. Dust maybe? Idk. Maybe I just had a crappy one.
What about people with curly hair?
Question, I’ve recently had to wash my hair everyday. Got a slighter shorter BOB cut and even noticing very oily hair not even a full 24 hours. My hair is coloured with a wella semi at the salon. And is now very healthy. How can I go longer between washes. The whole thing takes too long when I’m working. Thanks ❤
I have fairy thin hair. The boar bristle brush that I got. Was so soft that it didn't go through my hair.
ew how would you clean this porous brush 🤔
yeah id like to know that lol. very adamant about having a clean brush
Soak it in hot water with shampoo
@@caitroseco6752 lol I feel like it won't be thorough enough for my liking. The porousness will absorb the shampoo water too lol..maybe I'm too much of a germaphobe 😅
@@b3an72 lol yesss how will it get cleaned deep inside those bristles??
I bought one but feel like my hair is just too damaged for it. It really helps with the oil, but my hair right now breaks even when I detangle with my fingers 😓
Is there a specific brush you recommend to get - what brands of boar brushes are good? So I just pick a random one on Amazon???
When I do that it just drags the oil on my scalp through the rest of my hair making it look even more greasy
Make sure to keep them clean though! Use the end of a rat tail comb or the little metal comb it comes with to take the hair out, then just rub some shampoo onto the bristles, rinse, and let dry. Do NOT submerge it in water.
Could you recommend one where a animal doesn't need to be harmed please! Thank you 😘
How do you keep the brush clean though? I have one and it’s oily now.
That is a good aveces. Remember to clean your brush regularly, Periodically😊 Just remember to clean it.😅
Any other bristles i can use for hairbrush to hv same effect?
Wonder if that will help my dog. I’m going to try it for real!
Brushing makes my scalp produce more oil. They are so much flatter after I brushed them.
Oh yeah a boar bristle brush literally changed my hair for $10. I love it!
It’s a no for me. I have to wash my hair every other day.
Same!
That's actually healthy. I don't buy into this training your hair, because the longer you go without washes, your hair will be drier and scalp will be covered in sweat, dirt and oil. I see so many girls now with hair that looks awful and like it's covered in syrup. I'm sorry but I prefer healthy styled hair like I just left the salon
Got this brush like a year ago, love it and all, it Is soooo comfortable on my scalp, basically a mini massage, BUT i cannot seem to clean it well, the gunk is like stuck in the roots of the boar bristles. Any tips people🥺? Tried water and shampoo, picking with like hair sticks/needles etc
What about dry hair?😓
Using hair oil before bed works well for me. Gives it all night to soak in so it doesn’t look like a greedy mess. Also, a satin pillow case and putting my hair up (gentle ponytail) at night keeps my dry ends from getting tangled and scraggly.
Im gonna try this brush, my hair gets greasy after two days. Like it feels gross and looks gross 😭 let’s hope this can somewhat help
WORKED
Wait so I purchased a wooden hair brush for this purpose because I heard it distributes the oils and now I have to buy this kind of brush? So it’s no longer a wooden brush with wooden bristles?
I use a wooden one and love it. My hair is very healthy but I wash every other day. It is not good for my scalp health to go any longer than that.
Is there a brush that doesn't have an animal hair as bristles?
Need a vegan version of this recommendation.
I've replaced my old boar bristle brush with the Wet Brush Go Green Treatment & Shine hair brush - it uses synthetic boar bristles
@@SkyBlue3197 thank you!
The word is that brushes with bamboo "bristles" also do the same! But frankly, I'm also a big fan of wet brush.
Ethically sourced Bor bristles?
I imagine some dude running running after boars in the woods armed with a pair of scissors xD
How do you clean it though
Vegan / cruelty free alternatives?
I cant go 4 days without washing my hair i’ll be drenched in oil. I tried this brush but how often do i need to brush to actually see results
Good luck using this advice if you don’t have long mostly naturally straight fine limp hair.
People with actual texture should look elsewhere.
The last two appointments were 8 (6-8 months apart) when I went to cut I had to cut away the 4-10 cm that had grown back because it was thin, stringy and no longer curled
what am I doing wrong?
There are so many of them at the top, voluminous and strong from chest to stomach they became thinner and
Don’t use on dry hair and curly hair
Did you get lip fillers?
Lips looking good! 😊
