Comment choisir la meilleure brosse pour le brushing selon votre type de cheveux
A detangling brush is an essential tool in every salon, helping hairdressers manage knots safely while protecting the hair’s condition. Whether working with fine, fragile strands or thick, textured hair, understanding how to use a detangling brush correctly can transform your results. The right technique improves client comfort, reduces breakage and supports healthier-looking hair. Mastering detangling hair properly ensures every service starts with control, care and a professional finish.

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?
À quelle fréquence faut-il brosser les cheveux ?
En général, brosser ou démêler vos cheveux une à deux fois par jour suffit pour les garder lisses et faciles à coiffer.
Les cheveux longs, fins ou sujets aux nœuds bénéficient d’un brossage régulier, car cela aide à prévenir la formation de nœuds. Les cheveux bouclés ou très texturés, en revanche, doivent être brossés moins fréquemment et idéalement uniquement pendant le lavage, afin de préserver leur motif de boucle naturel.
Quel est l'élément le plus important lorsque vous vous brossez les cheveux ?
Utiliser la bonne technique fait toute la différence. Commencez toujours par les pointes et remontez progressivement vers les racines. Cela permet de démêler les cheveux en douceur, sans tirer inutilement sur le cuir chevelu ni exercer une tension excessive sur la fibre capillaire.
Le choix de la brosse est tout aussi important. Chaque type de cheveux nécessite des outils adaptés. Des poils souples ou des brosses spécialement conçues pour démêler aident à réduire la tension et à minimiser la casse des cheveux.
Faut-il se brosser les cheveux mouillés ou secs ?
Les cheveux mouillés sont plus élastiques, ce qui les rend plus vulnérables à l’étirement et à la casse. C’est pourquoi il faut les démêler avec précaution, à l’aide d’une brosse adaptée aux cheveux mouillés ou d’un peigne à dents larges.
Les cheveux secs sont généralement plus faciles à brosser s’ils sont lisses ou légèrement ondulés, et peuvent être brossés dans le cadre d’une routine quotidienne. Les cheveux bouclés ou très texturés, en revanche, se démêlent mieux lorsqu’ils sont humides, avec un produit démêlant pour réduire les frisottis et préserver la définition naturelle de la boucle.
En règle générale, utiliser la bonne brosse et une technique douce est plus important que de savoir si vos cheveux sont mouillés ou secs.
