Best Hairbrush to Distribute Natural Oils
  • I shampoo my hair only once or twice a week. I have fine, sometimes straight/sometimes wavy, generally healthy normal hair. I have noticed that my hair
    looks its absolute best (volume + less frizz + not greasy) 3 days after
    I shampoo it.  I was hoping to attain this effect faster (like on day 2), and I figure using my natural scalp oils is the best way to do
    that. My question is: What flipping hairbrush will best take some of my
    top-of-head oils all the way to the ends of my hair (about 2ft)? I have
    been using a paddle brush for as long as I can remember. I have a
    fear of combs fostered by a childhood filled with knotty hair and tears.
    I have found that bristle brushes don't really get all the way
    through my hair (only brushes the top layer), but I haven't picked one up
    in about 10 years and would be willing to try again.
  • I don't have an answer, but I'm amused by how you posed your question..."what flipping hairbrush.."  lol.  Personally, I use mixed (boar plus nylon) bristle brushes.
  • Haha, thanks. I've been watching way too much IT Crowd.
  • No help here, sorry. I have fine wavy/curly hair and I don't use brushes AT ALL. (Brushing makes my hair frizz like crazy.)  I comb through wet hair loaded with conditioner in the shower, then rinse the conditioner out and only finger comb once I am out of the shower.

    I hope you find the answer!
