Are You Using The Right Brush For Your Hair Type?

We all have dozens of hair care products lining our bathroom shelves. As did most of you, I researched every item to ensure it would work for my hair type. But when we received the new brushes from Bachca, I realized I never really thought about what kind of brush I should be using; this oversight could be why my hair does not yet sweep the floor, Crystal Gayle style.

The Bachca Boar and Nylon Brush is ideal to both detangle and smooth. The nylon pins reduce static electricity from the boar, and the boar bristles seal the hair cuticle to enhance shine. The ball tips at the end of the nylon pins cushion and protect the scalp while also gently massaging. This brush is suitable for fine, straight, or dry hair.

The Bachca Nylon Brush is ideal for detangling with ease, even when hair is wet (before you gasp, read on). This brush is perfect for fragile or hair that easily tangles (like curly, thick hair.) Trying to brush curly hair that’s dry is almost impossible and will undoubtedly cause breakage, so brushing curly hair when it is freshly conditioned and still wet is ideal. The nylon pins bend and avoid hair loss and split ends. Ball tips with rubber cushion protect and gently massage the scalp. This brush is suitable for curly, thick, or oily hair.

For va-va-voom volume, the Bachca Boar Round Brush not only increases volume but seals the hair cuticle to enhance shine. Hold up at the crown while blow-drying. It is suitable for all hair types.

To keep the bristles clean of oil, dirt, and other impurities, wash with a clarifying shampoo like Bumble and Bumble’s Sunday Shampoo once a week. All three brushes are made with durable beech wood handles and should last a lifetime with proper care.
