Why Correct Detangling Matters in the Salon
Correct detangling is one of the most important steps in maintaining healthy hair. Brushing too aggressively or incorrectly can cause breakage, cuticle damage and unnecessary stress on the scalp. A professional detangling brush allows you to gently work through knots while maintaining control and even tension.
Understanding how to detangle hair without damage is especially important before washing, during treatments and when working with extensions or textured hair. Starting from the ends and working upwards ensures a smoother process and prevents further knotting.
„A client’s hair should never be so compromised that detangling becomes damaging, but care is always key, especially on wet hair, when it’s most fragile. I always start from the ends and work upwards, and I like to have a product in the hair to give it support and slip while detangling.“ – UK Educator, Amiee Sillis

How to Use a Detangling Brush Correctly
Knowing how to use a detangling brush properly is key to achieving smooth, manageable results. Always begin at the ends and work upwards in small sections. This technique reduces pulling and allows knots to be gently released rather than forced out.
For longer or thicker hair, sectioning is essential. Holding the hair at the root while brushing through mid-lengths and ends minimises tension on the scalp. Extra care should be taken when detangling wet hair, as it is more elastic and prone to breakage. Using a flexible, professional detangling brush ensures safer, more controlled results. A key salon rule: always detangle before shampooing. This prevents knots tightening during washing and makes the overall service more efficient.

Choosing the Best Detangling Brush for Different Hair Types
The best detangling brush depends on the hair’s texture, condition and whether it is dry or damp. The Olivia Garden Fingerbrush Boar & Nylon is ideal for dry detangling and finishing. Its combination of bristles glides through the hair while distributing natural oils for added shine and smoothness.
For detangling wet hair or working with curls, the Olivia Garden Fingerbrush Double Bristles is particularly effective. Its deeper bristle penetration helps work through thicker or more textured hair while maintaining definition.
„Brush choice really depends on the hair type and when you’re using it in the service. For curls, I avoid overworking the hair, so the Double Bristle is perfect for detangling at the basin or working through treatments without disrupting the pattern. For finer hair, softer bristles or using a brush with product can reduce tension. With thicker hair, I always make sure it’s fully detangled before starting, especially at the basin, to avoid unnecessary stress later in the service.“ – UK Educator, Amiee Sillis

FAQ: How Often Should You Detangle Hair?
Wie oft solltest du deine Haare bürsten?
Im Allgemeinen reicht es aus, dein Haar ein- bis zweimal täglich zu bürsten oder zu entwirren, damit es geschmeidig und leicht zu kämmen bleibt.
Langes, feines oder zu Verknotungen neigendes Haar profitiert von regelmäßigem Bürsten, da es hilft, Knoten zu vermeiden. Lockiges oder stark texturiertes Haar solltest du dagegen seltener bürsten, idealerweise nur beim Waschen, um dein natürliches Lockenmuster zu bewahren.
Was ist das Wichtigste, wenn du dir die Haare bürstest?
Die richtige Technik macht den entscheidenden Unterschied. Beginne immer an den Spitzen und arbeite dich langsam nach oben zu den Ansätzen vor. So kannst du Verknotungen sanft lösen, ohne unnötig an der Kopfhaut zu ziehen oder die Haarfaser übermäßig zu belasten.
Die Wahl der richtigen Bürste ist genauso wichtig. Unterschiedliche Haartypen benötigen unterschiedliche Werkzeuge. Flexible Borsten oder speziell entwickelte Entwirrbürsten helfen dabei, die Spannung zu reduzieren und Haarbruch zu minimieren.
Solltest du deine Haare nass oder trocken bürsten?
Nasses Haar ist elastischer und dadurch anfälliger für Dehnung und Haarbruch. Deshalb solltest du es nur vorsichtig entwirren – mit einer Bürste, die für nasses Haar geeignet ist, oder einem grobzinkigen Kamm.
Trockenes Haar lässt sich meist leichter bürsten, wenn es glatt oder leicht gewellt ist, und du kannst es problemlos in deine tägliche Routine einbauen. Lockiges oder stark strukturiertes Haar entwirrst du dagegen am besten, wenn es noch feucht ist, und mit einem Conditioner, um Frizz zu reduzieren und die natürliche Lockendefinition zu bewahren.
Als Faustregel gilt: Die richtige Bürste und eine sanfte Technik sind wichtiger als die Frage, ob dein Haar nass oder trocken ist.
