If You Have Curly Hair, Your Brush Could Be Making It Frizzy

Finding the perfect hair brush may sound like a simple task, but in reality, it can be quite challenging—particularly if you have curly hair. With different types, textures, and patterns, it’s often hard to know exactly which products—even those specifically designed for curls—are right for you, and it’s even harder to know which brush will keep them healthy and strong.

“If you use the wrong brush on curly hair, such as a brush that creates tension, it can cause a lot of breakage,” explains New York-based hairstylist T. Cooper. “So, with curly hair, you always want to look for a brush that is gentle and doesn’t snag the hair.”
