A HAIRDRESSER has revealed that you’ve been brushing your locks all wrong.
So if you want long, super healthy hair, you’ll need to listen up.
Posting on social media, hairdresser Rachel Valentine explained ‘how to brush your hair correctly.’
Sharing her expert advice, she said: “I'm gonna show you how I detangle hair once it's been washed.
“So if you apply some product first – this can be your heat protector or your leave-in conditioner. This is gonna really help you remove the knots and it won't be as painful.
“The brush you use is so important. I like Tangle Teezer, you can use a Wet Brush if you want but definitely don't use your average combs or paddle brushes.

“They are not for detangling. They are for styling only.”
Rachel then advised that to brush hair wet, you must start from the bottom.
She advised: “You’re going to start teasing at the bottom and you can see that it's coming out quite easily.
“If you start at the top, the brush is gonna get stuck, even if it is a really good one, and it's gonna pull on your scalp and that's not gonna be good.

“My hair is quite strong, so I can go in and detangle it now while it's wet.”
