Hairbrushes are not toys, but in the hands of my mom, they were weapons of mass destruction! 😂😂😂
White Avon hair brush
My grandmother using a wetted rat tail comb to pull my baby fine strands back into a tight ponytail. 😂
My mom used to spank me, occasionally grab a hairbrush and used that, surprisingly that didn’t hurt at all! I screamed and pretended to cry, but it was just an act and for show!
Those bloody barrel brushes... She'd get my hair completely tangled around them. She had no mercy and no patience for my fine soft tangled hair
@@jeaninesilva5055 ha ha! I remember those white Avon brushes too, thinking from back in the 60’s! Just bcuz they were Avon didn’t mean it was a good brush, yet every kids mom had one. Hard ass bristles that would rake your scalp sore and forget it if your hair got tangled up in it … hurry, someone get the scissors, lol!
Honey, I'm an old retired hair stylist. Although Marcia Brady may have made it relevant for 1969, the reason women brushed their hair 100 strokes at night was because they didn't wash it every day; more likely to have been every month. This is during the time when women didn't cut their hair (Victorian, Edwardian eras, for example) and wore it up. They didn't want to just get the oil into the hair, they were brushing the oil and dust out of the hair.
Women, especially those of wealth, definitely cut their hair and just used hair pieces. And washing timeframes varied far too much to claim a specific cycle outside of citing specific areas, times, and socioeconomic groups. I'm not saying you're absolutely wrong by any means, I'm just wanting to share that there's a lot more research and more recently discovered primary source evidence across the spectrum of lived experiences. If it comes off poorly, my apologies. My AuDHD brain is exhausted from the holidays and emotional conveyance is the first to suffer, but I know I'll forget to come back here in the future.
I'm in my early 50s, but my grandmothers were both born in the19th century, and my mom was born in 1930. It was standard for my mom and grandmothers to get their weekly wash and set. Thankfully my sister, who was is 16 years older than I, broke my mom of expecting both of her daughters to do the same. Neither of us wanted to waste the time or money, plus we had modern blow dryers instead of the suitcase type that my mom had, as well as a wider variety of styling devices, like the advent of the modern version of the curling iron. Modern version, as curling irons have been around for at least two centuries if not far longer.
That vent brush has been part of my hair arsenal since 1979 when my brothers used them to feather their hair. Lol
TOTALLY agree. ❤
I was told that things changed with hair washing came with the introduction of inside bathrooms which became more the norm in the 1950’s. Also, that’s why people had previously worn hats to cover the hair.
not all women tho. that's like saying EVERYONE goes to a hair salon now. @@KatieCottingham
Have been using a Wet brush for 13 years and have loved it! I was worried he’d be against it in the very beginning, thankfully I’m using the best brush, meaning my Wet brush!
I even have one for my cat’s fur, she loves it too, it really gives her skin a great massage.
I also use a wet brush and have for at least 5 years, I also have one for my longhair dog, its gentle on her hair and doesn't hurt her skin, very gentle.
Wet Brush is the only brush I use. 😊
I like the Wet brush too but my hair is too thick for it to get all the way through. I just recently bought the Knot Doctor ( something like that) and it actually does help.
I literally clicked on the video because I thought the same and I just had to hear why. I have only used Wet brush for years and love it. My son has extrmely thick course hair and and LONG and curly. And he used miy Wet brush and just said what magic is this!!!
Same💞
We called that a vent brush back in the day! Still use mine.
Yeah, but it looks like that's the brand name (that he's hawking).
I came here to say this!
I completely love ur honesty. So tired of everything being pink clouds n rainbows, I need reality. Ty for keeping it real.
I use the Mason Pearson brush on my golden retriever. It’s not for detangling wet hair, IMO, but for distributing oils and removing dust and dirt. Dogs don’t have hands, and most don’t take baths daily, so this makes sense.
I have waist length fine hair, for my entire life (45) and have been using a wet brush for 10+ years, it's the only thing that lets me brush my hair, especially when damp without making it more tangled! Its great on little girls (or boys!) with long hair too! I wish it had been around when i was little, it would have saved me so many tears!😭
I used a detangling spray as a little girl
Just received mine a bamboo wet brush....also Thanx for your story it gave me confidence using the brush on my mid length hair! ❤
Same type of hair here. I find that I like the Tangleez fine hair brush even better!
Wow, is it really that good? I'm a guy, and I recently grew my hair out. I've never even used a brush on it. I was randomly looking up styling videos and thought maybe all this Wet Brush talk was secretly advertisements. But then, all these comments are saying the same thing they're saying in the videos.
I use a wet brush on my waist length hair and it really works well removing tangles. I don’t have the brush with the little round balls on the ends of the bristles, the plastic teeth are plain.
That last brush is not unheard of!! It was a staple tool for creating "mall hair" back in the 80s! I had a full size at home (in my Caboodle of course!), and a mini in my purse. They came as a set, and were purple
Gen Z here! I've been looking for something to volumize my hair and I've never heard if this, but now I will look into, especially because of your comment. Thank you so much!
Oh wow! That takes me back! 😂
Yup, I was an 80s girl too! I had a full size vent brush for home and a small one for my purse. I laugh now when I see hair teasing tutorials!
I know, right?! Those were so common in the 90s as well.
@@b1ggestslutThat brush is also excellent for gently teasing hair and will hold just enough by adding a strong spray. Plus, the tease from this brush is easy to brush out.
That vented brush was all the rage in the early 80’s. Everyone had one. Great video. It was nice to learn a few things.
Ah, the Denman. It is never used to detangle. You detangle in the shower, with conditioner in, starting with your fingers and ending with something like the Tangle Teaser or a really soft and bendy paddle brush. The Perfect Hair Care Towel sells one as a set with their smooth microfiber towels that works great for me.
You use the Denman when you are styling. Your hair is still wet. You apply product(s), section out your hair, then take individual locks and brush them straight out from your head, using tension, with the Denman. You should turn the Denman so that your hair slides over that curved edge after the bristles/tines give you tension. Some will even use the curved-edge handle to spiral the hair onto as they near the end of the strand. The tension and the curve (or spiral) will help your hair achieve its curl as long as you did it in the natural direction of that strand’s curl.
One may then squish the strand upwards in the palm and fist to encourage the lock to find its natural curl. Once you have done all the strands, you can use a smooth microfiber towel across your palm to squish handfuls of your hair up toward your scalp. Curls often tighten here. Some people will apply gel as a last step before diffusing, others already applied it before using the Denman.
The rows of bristles (Which always look uniform, not like the one you’re showed us) can be removed from the red rubbery base by sliding the rubbery part off the end of the handle. People often remove every other row to lessen the tension the brush puts on their hair. You never actually use a Denman to brush through your hair. That would be a disaster! Gena Marie does a good demonstration of using a Denman in her videos.
That is what I do with my Denman
Thank you for clarifying this for viewers! I’m a wavy myself and was cringing when combing, brushing or detangling on dry hair was discussed for curly hair
I tried to read your comment but it was too thick on screen.
Next time, one idea per paragraph and a blank line between paragraphs.
@@veramae4098, does that help?
Wow! This is great info. I just got a Denman and the Wet Brush. Love all the detail you shared. Thank you!🙂
For curly hair, The Denman brush should NOT be used on dry, curly hair. It should only be used on wet, sectioned hair to organize curl clumps, like pulling scissors down curling ribbon.
Plus the brush design allows you to customize it by being able to remove row(s) of bristles.
Thanks for your info. I own that particular brush but have hair with only a slight wave, so now realise it probably isn’t achieving anything for me.
Why not use it when dry?
It is a very stiff brush and can damage your hair if you use it on dry curly hair. It is designed to use on wet, detangled hair to help you style your curls by smoothing them, kind of like using scissors with tension on curling ribbon.
What brush is used to detangle wet wavy or curly hair that’s prone to frizz? I felt like the video was a bit unclear on that for those with wavy/curly hair. I’ve used a wide tooth comb starting at the bottom of my long hair, but it’s tedious as my hair is quite prone to tangling. I was hoping for a better option than the comb.
That knock off Denman brush was a bad one! I love mine. The real Denman has straight bristles and the handle is straight. I use mine to give me the curls on my curly wet hair, then leave alone until dry to fluff. I also use your Blow Dry heat protection (I love it!) when I diffuse. Great video!❤
True, the REAL Denman brush here in the UK, costs around £11. The "knock off" version you can purchase for £5.99! As the saying goes you get what you pay for. I had a Denman vented brush for 12 years. I had to replace it two years ago when the bristles had started to bend out of shape!
My Wet Brush is the first and only brush that doesn't leave me feeling victimized and traumatized! I have very thick hair and it's always been snarly until the Wet Brush came along.
Uhh because his photo on the video was complete click bait.
Agree!
me too, my hair is thick and has a life of its own, it expands as it dries, I can barely get a comb thru my hair
I love using it to work conditioner through my dense curly hair. It used to take so long to get conditioner everywhere there were tangles in the shower. Also great for catching potential hair ball drain clogs 😂
@@Killer_Turnip I joke that I feel like in the summer, I'm wearing a wool helmet!!
This topic is a very sensitive one for me. For a number of years, I have stopped using my hairbrush, not exactly sure why, but I just stopped. I’ve been using a wide tooth comb for detangling and spreading product through my hair. I have straight hair. In the past year, I’ve had a lot of flakiness problem on my scalp. I normally wash my hair two or three times a week, and it’s never been a problem before. I started using shampoo for dandruff every once in a while to combat the itch and flakiness. No matter how often I did it the flakes kept coming back, and it was just super annoying and at times embarrassing. In my recent visit to my hairdresser she suggested that I visit my doctor and get tests done to figure out why I was having this problem. Instead I started using a hairbrush, the detangler kind that you use for kids. I’ve had it, used it before, but just somehow stopped. I can see the flaking skin on my scalp has diminished. My conclusion is that the buildup of skin on my scalp was the problem. By using a hairbrush I was able to exfoliate all that dead skin off my scalp. I have also noticed that I have more shine on my hair these days, the shine I used to have in my younger days 😊. I’m not experiencing oily scalp at all. So I’ll keep doing what I’m doing and just make sure I use the right brush for styling, but also the right brush for exfoliating.
Which brush do you use?
A quality brush, like the Mason Pearson, will also massage the scalp helping blood supply and growth.
I have been wanting one for years. I had one as a child and have been wanting a big one ever since.
@@whichypoohswhat about a lower cost option for those of us who can’t spend $250
I'm a guy, and I had dandruff for years, ever since high school. I finally cured it a couple of years ago.
I figured it out because I also have some facial hair. Anyone with a beard will tell you that every once in a while, you'll get these itch attacks, and when you scratch, all this dry skin flakes out. So what I started doing was splashing water on it. It really soothed the skin under my beard, and I could even feel the oil sort of spreading through the beard.
So I started splashing water on my scalp any time I felt itching. After about two or three weeks, I was completely cured of dandruff.
It's probably a little harder to do with long hair, but if you just take some water and massage it into your scalp whenever you feel itching, you'll spread the oil naturally and balance out the natural oils on your scalp.
I bought my first ceramic hair brush in September. It's been a game changer. I find it gives me much more control over what my hair does. I bought Osensia’s round bristle brush from Amazon.
Your videos are wonderful. I've learned so much from you.
I was so grateful for this video on brushes and what types for which kind of hair and for what purpose that I had to stop and send this comment in before I’d even finished watching it! This was incredibly valuable information and especially showing the woman towards the end using the “brush no one has ever heard of” in her own hair while holding the hair dryer gave me a great visual on how to use it in myself. Thanks a bunch! ❤
The only people who use a brush incorrectly with my hair are hairdressers. Every single one of them. They rip through my hair as if their brush was magically resolving any tangle along the way. Of course, that’s not what happens and they just cause breakage and damage.
I find hair stylists rip and brush my hair incorrectly too! Last time I got my hair done I just told her to stop and I detangled it myself lol
I purchased the Cricket brush right after watching this video and I have to say it is a game changer!!!! Thank you SO much for all your knowledge! I wish I lived closer! I have such a hard time finding anyone who knows how to cut short hair!
This was great brush break down! Ha, when I graduated beauty school in 1989 no one was using brushes to dry their hair. All I did for years was perms on every kind of hair from short to long past the waist. I had those girls linded up coming in for those spirals and they'd end up complaining about how their necks hurt trying to lean back in the bowl with all those rods in their hair. It was a tip you head over and scrunch with the hands or diffuser. The only part that clients occasionally wanted smoothed out a bit was thier bangs. Then when Jennifer Aniston's look was popular that round brush came out along with smoothing irons, paddle brushes and giant round brushes. I thought I was getting carple tunnel at first until I built up my wrist muscles to smooth all those perms out till they could grow out, LOL. That last brush is similar to one that is my favorite lately. I like to use it to give the hair soft loose waves that seems to be popular now. When it comes to combs the hard rubber heat resistant combs are the best when using heated appliances. I figured that out the hard way be melting several of the other type, LOL.
OH, yeah-- perms in the 80's then blowing them straight. Yikes. And-- yeah, I melted a few "Cleopatra" cutting combs on my first few flat iron styles!!LOLs!!😁
Hi folks, I have weird hair that is part wavy, part straight, mid length (long was just too much time and work to style). No matter what great products I use, I still have tangles after a shower (leave in conditioner on) and the Wet Brush does work wonderfully. I don't use it to style, I use it to brush through wet hair or morning hair. Do start at the ends and work your way to scalp. Clean it, and you will see, not much hair in the brush, so easier to clean!
Great Video!
I had heard of only 2 of the brushes before. (Just ordered your fave. TY)
This video should be in every person's Hair Care 101.

You always have great information and I always learn a trick or tidbit of info from you
Thanks again for your channel.
Wavy/curly here. I don't use the Denman brush to detangle my hair, only to style my curls. I detangle my hair with a type of wetbrush and some leave-in.
Which type of wet brush do you use for wavy hair please?
Justin, love the fact that you are honest and truthful about all things hair. Dont just recommended something because it is super expensive. Thanks!!
Those rat tail combs - especially the type you showed - are great for getting caught hair out of a round brush! Fortunately I never had it happen to me, but I've rescued major tangles out of wigs I was working on!
I've always had super short hair so I don't have a brush. Now that I'm growing my hair longer maybe it's time to think about getting the right brush. This video comes at the perfect time thank you for this information.
Excellent video Justin.
The ONLY thing I don't have YET, is the diffuser. I already had the brushes & combs you recommend from other places.
Sooo glad I follow your videos. 😊❤
Thank you, Justin! Great info! 🎉🎄Jenny
A pretty light blue Wet Brush was delivered today. I've already used it & think it's great ! I have a thin head of very fine hair that loves to tangle. Thanks to advancing years, I have about a third of the head of hair I used to have & it doesn't behave or look like it used to.....but I sure like the Wet Brush. Glad I heard about it & ordered one. The light blue was only $7.78 !
Hi, can you use wet brush even on dry hair or is it only for wet hair
It works well on me whether my hair is wet or dry
I have a just above the shoulders bob. I need a tutorial on how to use that volume brush that I have never seen before. Thanks for another great video.
Ah the vent brush been using it for 60 years from aprenticipe to retirement ,also never brush wet hair use a wide tooth comb from the bottom up ,always leave a little conditioner in the hair on final rinse ,or a leave in conditioner for dry hair ,,,,Thankyou Justin you are right up there with some of the best advice ,
Hi Justin just finished watching your video. I love what you said about the brush that all your stylist use so I ordered one can’t wait to use it as I have recently had my hair cut shorter as I use to have a bob. Thank you 🤩
I love my Mason Pearson pure bristle brush. Yes it’s expensive (mine was a Christmas present) but I think it’s worth every penny and wish I’d bought it for myself sooner. I wouldn’t use it for drying my hair but instead tip my head upside down and brush it through before bed. It really gets down to the scalp and feels amazing. I’ve used a lot of brushes over the years (including a vent brush!) but nothing compares to these. If you can afford it, get one!
I've had mine nearly 50 years now ❤
I have one pearson 35 or more years and a smaller one 20 years. They feel wonderful on the scalp and after brushing your hair looks and feel fuller
Excellent information for this wavy to curly medium length hair gal!
I’m a hairstylist, and I love my denman. I’ve had the same 9-row(they come in different row sizes) for over 15 years. They are easy to take apart and clean, sturdy, great for scalp massages AND I have never experience “fuzz” pooling at the base of my denman. Find an authentic Denman, and you’ll have a brush forever! I use it just like you would for detailed short styles and root lifting. As well as smoothing ethnic hair before ironing. It’s my all time favorite.
Thank you! Your videos are so informative!
Great information. Thank you.
I love your videos. They’re so helpful, no matter what type of hair you have, you can always learn something. Thank you for doing them.
I love the wet brush! I have thick,wavy hair down to my waist and this brush seems to work the best for my hair
My favorite brush for years is the Kent half-round natural bristle brush. I do not blow my hair dry. This brush is expensive but lasts for decades. I find it the most comfortable to use and can also get tangles out of my granddaughters hair by using the edge of it. I don’t like metal brushes , they hurt to use and seem to pull my hair. But I may try the volumizer brush. Great video.
Thank you Justin, once again for a fun and informative video!! Glad to be able to have access to your output.😊❣
Thank you for the great info!!
Thank you, Justin. Say no more! I went straight to your link and ordered the volumizer which will arrive tomorrow! 👏🏻For many years, on my short hair, I've used different sized round brushes that have a vented ceramic barrel and a combo of boar/plastic bristles. They work well but I'm ALWAYS looking for a brush I will like better and will give me volume (on top) but even better than what I've always used. My hairstylist had me buy the round brush with plastic bristles and a metal vented barrel. I didn't like it because I felt it broke my hair! I'm sure there'll be a learning curve with this new volumizer brush since I'm used to round brushes. Yes, I've spent lots of $$ on brushes in my quest for THE ONE! I am hopeful that this IS the one!
Where did you find a volumizer like his? I’m still looking. I found the Cricket on Amazon but not the same.
Great video, very useful information. I have super fine hair that tangles easily. I've tried many round brushes over the years and found that most of them have a joint where the handle attaches to the brush. My hair always gets stuck in the little groove of that joint. Then I found the Olivia Garden round brushes at my local beauty retailer and voila! no little crevice for my hair to get stuck in. Best brand for me and my hair.
I had the same problem with my fine hair too, until I bought my Olivia Garden brush! I have the ceramic + ion round brush with boar bristles. It's so well designed! Unfortunately, the curling brush I use has a seam between the handle and the part that gets hot where my hair gets caught sometimes... so frustrating that they don't make them with care, because otherwise I LOVE my curling brush.
Wet hairbrushes does a one that's very similar to your volumiser one, it's the same oval shape as the one you showed in this video, but the back is vented/slated so the air can go right through when blow drying. It's entire body has a very slight flex to it too, and I love that one for blow drying. It's called the Wet hairbrush Original Detangler Speed Dry brush.
Thank you Justin for going through the list. I wanted to say that I love my Maston Pearson brush, which I bought about 15 years ago. Not wanting to Jinx it, it is still in tact and I still use it as my only daily hair brush. I do not use it for styling. Before buying it, I bought a dupe from Target for $15 and found it useless. My MP brush, smoothes my hair and calms it down. None of my previous brushes did that. So far the cost is less than $10 per year and I will replace it with another one when it is time. IMO, if you find the ceramic brush a game changer, the MP is also a game changer.
I've had mine for 20+ years and my MP is going strong.
Just wanted to say, I concur. I bought my MP ten years ago. I have short, thick, curly hair. I bought the MP in the handy size and it has been brilliant for me.
I received a MP for my 10th birthday. I am now 70. My daughter used it while growing up. She is now 43. My 7 year old granddaughter is now using the same brush. That's why it costs so much. It's heirloom quality . We all loved it.
Very useful, thank you!💯💯
This is a very informative video. I have all of those brushes except the last two. I am suprised that I used them correctly and that I figured out how they work on my own. I have a great head of hair and I want to keep it that way. Thanks for the video.
I’m actually on my third Wetbrush in several years. It’s great to detangle fine, straight hair.
But why does fine, straight hair need to be detangled? Speaking as someone who has fine, straight hair, it's pretty easy to comb out... if you're using enough conditioner, that is.
@@automnejoy5308 too much conditioner weighs down fine hair. The other issue is how many follicles do you have. I have a lot of follicles per square inch, but they produce fine texture hair that tangles sometimes.
Thanks Justin. Never heard of the volumizer. I'll try it
They’re a favorite for sure! Can’t wait to hear how you like it!
So, I'm actually using the right brush (wet brush). LOL
I do NOT like the denman style brushes, and I have curly hair. After I brush it I just use a leave-in conditioner meant for curly hair and gently wrap my hair up in large strands around my finger and hold it up for a couple seconds instead of scrunching it cause that makes it frizzy for me.
This video IS a really good place to start though, if you have no clue how to do your hair regularly.
I like the mention of not shampooing your hair everyday (I still know a lot of people that think they need to shampoo every time they shower), but especially for us oily scalped peeps, knowing to concentrate on shampooing your scalp and NOT your ends has saved my hair. And conditioning in the shower ends first and little to no conditioner on my scalp keeps my hair from getting so oily so quickly. And you DON'T need expensive products. I stopped coloring my hair, so I just use a Dove conditioner now.
Super helpful. I would love to see a video just on round brushes. What size for different lengths/ textures and desired finish like straight or to add a flip?
I remember your favorite brush as a vent brush, although some did not have the little balls on the ends of the bristles. I swear we used them back in the 70s for our disco dos! 😂
I bought the Wet brush at your recommendation and it's time to replace mine! I love it!
What I have found helpful about the denman brush is that it doesn’t have the balls on the bristles. My five year old has tight coils. The brushes with balls catch any little tangle and gets stuck for a second. We recently got a brush that has different sized bristles of softer plastic. So far I am happy with how gentle it is. We’ll see how it goes.
Thank you for your video!!
I have curly hair and am astounded to find I am using the perfect brush(s), the last is my everyday brush, yay, and I have the large round for blow drying smooth (rarely) the diffuser is my friend!
I’ve seen the deman brush used for brushing sections of curly hair while wet using the theory similar to curling ribbon across the edge of scissors.
I'm 50 and have long, fine, wavy hair. I'm obsessed with brushes! The Wet Brush is my best all-purpose brush. But for specialty brushes..... the Tangle Teaser is the best for untangling wet hair and the Rock and Ruddle (Mason Pearson dupe) for stimulating my scalp.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have curly, fine, thin, hair that I have never know what to do with or how to make it look good. Also, I can't go a day without washing my hair because it always looks greasy. I can now purchase these products and hope for the best. To be continued. ❤
Hi Justin,I always enjoy your content and learn from you. I have long thick wavy hair. I use my fingers to detangle when I’m washing.
I don’t use a brush anymore. I used to use a wet brush, which I loved. I use my wide tooth comb sparingly, that’s it. I feel my hair is healthier for it .
I bought a Wet Brush from Target & it has an interesting shape. It looks almost like a hand, with fingers that give through the hair. The bristles are the same as those on your Wet brush here. I have fine hair with extensions. This brush is very gentle, but has tons of those coated bristles to really get into the hair. It feels awesome and has been a game changer for tangles.
The brush I use and love, is much like the last one shown here for volume. It is a slotted brush, not exactly like yours but super close and I love it. My hair is a lot like your Mom’s who demonstrates it in the video. I found it on Amazon...so happy 🙌... have a great day Justin!
So great! Have a great day as well!
The denman brush is for defining curls, not detangling. It was originally designed for blowouts, that's why it's shaped like that, for tension. The D38 paddle brush is WAY better for detangling purposes.
I have long wavy hair & so use a large toothed pick starting from the bottom going up 1st then a big tooth comb & that’s it . Dry naturally. Thanks for the tips!
Thank you very helpful.
I agree with you on that brush balance is very important when it comes to a brush and that one is not balanced
I find that I have different brushes for different hairstyles. I had my hair cut into an inverted bob, two weeks ago. I now use my boar bristle brush. Yes, I have two boar bristle brushes- a round one for blow drying and an oval one for daily brushing - my hair loves them! I also have two GHD brushes a barrel one and a paddle brush for when my hair is collar length bob(usually spring/summer) Great informative video!
Thanks, good video. My favorite brush is the same as the super expensive one you showed. They (different brands, just as good) are available for much less money. I have long hair and brush it in the morning and evening. This brush is very effective at getting to the scalp with the plastic flexible bristles as well as removing dirt, oil, and a surprising amount of lint from the hair with the boar bristles. This is great since I only shampoo whenever I color my hair every 6-8 weeks. Yes I'm serious. The thing is I rarely blow dry or use styling products on my hair. LOL... mostly because I'm lazy. I do rinse with hot water and condition a couple of times between colorings though. I also do love the Vent brush you showed at the end. I graduated Cosmetology school in '78 and these had just came on the market. I loved them then and still love them for all the reasons you have mentioned. Thanks. LOL... oh and I do have a Denman brush that I only use to help clean my favorite brush.
I have very long wavy hair, and I prefer the tangle teezer. I’ve found out that anything with a handle makes me apply much more strength than necessary. Grabbing the TT with my hand helps me distribute the strength of my hand better and not pull at my hair like it would with a brush with a handle.
I admit to the mason pearson brush and comb. I was given my first brush and comb set by my grandmother. I was taught how to brush my hair and braid it.
I get comfort by brushing my hair and the feeling on my scalp. Before bed is part of my ritual.
But I don’t use it to style by hair.
I have my Dyson hairdryer and round brushes with ceramic.
So 2 different things at play here.
I have wavy hair colour treated.
I use great products and I will admit to finger combing my hair if I can get away with it.
Thankyou for your videos and great advice.
Look forward to watching them.
Thank you so much for this information! My hair became much thinner and curly when I was in my early 60’s. I’ve always had very healthy, straight ‘horse hair’ and when it changed, I had no idea how to deal with it so I’ve accumulated many brushes trying to deal with it. This video makes so much sense! I can now chuck a bunch of brushes with a clear conscience, knowing they’re not what I need!
Thank you for your practical, common sense approach to hair!
My hair changed dramatically too. From straight to curly/frizzy. Be careful what you wish for! Always wanted beautiful curls but ended up with more frizz.
I've been trying to fix my hair. Didn't resize i was brushing wrong. Thank you so much for this info hope you're having a good day
Thanks for the info and confirmation that I’m using the correct brush. I have long hair that is kinda wavy/curly when wet (thank you Menopause), but I usually straighten it with a flat iron the next day. I use a paddle brush (I think that’s what you called it: rectangular shape with flexible bristles). I will blow dry my hair upside down (with heat protectant product) and flat iron the next day. I just wish I knew the secret to keep hair from falling out. I will turn 60yo at the end of the month.
i added J. Crows Iodine to my diet and my hair is no longer falling out. if you take zinc you must take copper
How much iodine and how much copper?
@@dianalonghenry4933 everyone's iodine needs are different. if you put iodine on your skin and it is gone within 24 hours you are deficient. there are some youtube video's about this skin test. J. Crows Lugols 2% solution iodine is 5mg per 2 drops, i take about 10 drops, my husbands takes 1 drop. dr jorge flechas has the best info czcams.com/video/kZ-iDbgCupU/video.html
the forget the best copper to zine ratio to keep them balanced, its not much copper, this is very important and best if you listen to people with more knowledge. you will be glad you did. my best to you.
Is J. Crows a brand name? Why must you take zinc if youre taking copper? @@jjnessnaj
@dianalonghenry4933 I don't know but I googled that iodine that they recommended and that stuff is amazing! I need to get some
Hi Justin like your videos. Talking about hair brush I don’t use them never had always used a pick for me I like it much better for I have a touch of curl and also don’t was my hair every day thanks for sharing ❤
Great video! Thank you!
I used Denman brushes for years about a hundred years ago. Especially loved them when I had very long thick hair. Occasionally they would break at the handle below the bristles. I no longer have thick hair, unfortunately. But they are great brushes and come in different sizes for different needs. I buy them for my husband and he is hair-challenged.
I could have sworn, at the preview for the video you said the paddle-type brush could damage your hair, but I heard no mention of how - during the rest of the video. I waited for it too. 💌
Yay for the Wet brush! At least I'm doing something right! I've found it's the best brush for my long, slightly thin hair as a middle-aged woman. I used to power through tangles with a comb and realized how damaging that was. The Wet brush is very comfortable to use, relatively inexpensive, and has become a staple for me over the past 15 years or so.
Thanks for all the important info. on brushes and hair dryers. I will be tuning in to your you tube often now. 🐸
so glad you found it helpful!
Interested in your fav, so I just ordered on the zon. I've been using 2 brushes depending on the length of my hair. I have a small round that belonged to my grandma. I love that brush! Great for my shorter hair styles, and a 1" square brush. I love the bend I get with that one when my hair is a little longer. We'll see how the brush I ordered today stacks up!
Haha! Now I’m nervous! Sounds like it has some stiff competition! I can’t wait to hear what you think. I think you’ll love it. Thanks for the trust!
@@justinhickox You're right I do love it! It can go from short to the just before haircut time without a hitch. Love it!
@@katrinahough290 that’s so awesome!!!! So glad to hear that!
I have always wanted that fancy brush. Thank you for making me feel better about my not ever buying one.
I’m old as old can be and after watching you for awhile, I’ve learned everything I do is completely wrong. I’ve suffered a Widow Maker and died for 6 minutes. I live in Cheyenne Wyoming, my biggest wish is for you to teach me to fix my fine hair and I’m also loosing my hair. I’ve been a model for John Casablanca back in Columbus, Ohio and and they never taught us how to use what brush how to get fullness out of our thin hair, if you ever come to Cheyenne, Wyoming, please let me know.
Sincerely, Kristina
I agree with you about the wooden boats bristle brush!! They take forever to dry with and they don't pick up the hair as well as metal or ceramic!
Thank you Justin! I use that Wet Brush and love it so to know it’s a highly recommended brush makes my day! Have a blessed up coming year!🎉🥂🎊 PS hi to your beautiful lady Dionna!
Thanks, Justin! Funny you mentioned Mason Pearson brushes. I’d never heard of them before until I got a long haired dog. This is this gold standard grooming brush for the Bearded Collie & I’m sure other long haired breeds. Coincidentally, I don’t use it that brush as often as I use the Wet Brush on them. 😂
Justin I have very curly hair that loves to go frizzy if messed with much at all.
My hair is extremely fine and is thin. Sad but I used to have very thick hair baby fine still but a ton of it.
I have Hoshimoto Thyroiditis which has caused the thinning.
I use LUS products from Canada, their brush and a very wide toothed comb when my hair is wet. I do not care for LUS Irish Sea Moss my hair went frizzy really quickly. I prefer Biotera alcohol free defining gel. I have a diva diffuser I use mostly to get volume and lift at the roots and yes I dry it upside down. I only dry the length and ends enough to get the water out. I do not dry until it is dry.
I pull my hair up high into a loose ponytail to sleep and sleep on a satin pillow case.
I try to only wash my hair once a week. I used to cowash with conditioner in between but my hair seemed to fall out more.
Last time I got my hair cut where I live the stylist must have run the scissors down the shafts like a razor cut. What a mess. When I was back home in Idaho last fall I went to a stylist that actually cut my hair and layered it, so much better and yes she saw the mess I had from the former cut.
I have not found a stylist that I trust yet where I live.
Do you have any suggestions to help me with products or tools? I am open to anything that would help. I live smack dab in the middle of N Dakota.
Someone mentioned how those balls on the ends of the bristles of The Wet Brush will catch on tangles and tear them rather than help unsnarl them - and I’ve found this to be true. I’d never choose that brush.
My hair is about 22” from crown to ends, and I’ve had the easiest detangle time with the Tangle Teaser. Since purchasing it and using detangling spray, the damage to my hair has decreased dramatically!
That’s happening to my Wet brushes too and I noticed I have more breakage lately
Does the tangle teaser work for wet wavy/curly hair that’s prone to tangling? Or dry hair?
I just discovered the wet brush cones with air vents . I use a round blower dryer brush but if I need to use a regular blow dryer the new wet brush is great.
I love the Olivia Garden ceramic round brush. I think I will try the Cricket volumizer brush now.
Awesome! Yeah, those Olivia Garden brushes have been my favorite for YEARS. They're SO good right!?!
Love the Olive Garden Fingerbrush….my favorite brush I have ever had!
I use them also and have for the last 5 years.
Yes it sure did and thank you 👍🏽 I use the Wet 👍🏽
On another of your videos you also had the cricket volumizer brush. I got it on Amazon. I have a lot of brushes but that brush is the absolute best for volume!!! I alternate it with the round barrel brush. Love that cricket brush!! Thank You!
I’ve had the mason pearson for ten years and I love my hairbrush. It still looks brand new and I use it everyday. I have long hair (past my armpits). If I had short hair I wouldn’t have splurged but it’s a very nice luxury to have if your hair is very long.
I have used M and P it for over 20 years… short or longer hair. . Massages, cleans the scalp. Easy to clean and to wash it. Keeps hair shinny and prevents an itchy scalp. I do not go to the salon that frequently, but believe in investing in my tools for maintenance at home.
Hairstylists cut and style hair at the salon. We have to decide in what works for us. Some brushes that stylists use and recommend for styling are useless and impossible for me to use it at home. ❤❤❤
What is the name of the alternative brush to the Mason Pearson? I didn’t hear or see a brand listed. Thank you. Loved this video. Happy New Year.
I have straight thick hair that tangles a lot when wet and after using conditioner. I bought a wide tooth plastic pick and it removes the tangles easily without hurting.
The pick design is more flat at the top and rounder at the ends. I don't see this exact design in all stores. I bought it at a Sally's store.
I've used this particular pick for years and it works great on my straight thick hair that's a little over shoulder length. It worked great when I had longer hair, too. Even the wide tooth comb doesn't get tsngles out as easily.
I like the boars hair round brushes, they have a good amount of tension gives me reallt nice volume.
I had butt length extremely straight hair and used to spend so much time picking it out with a wide toothed comb. My hair stylist was always surprised at how few split ends I had. But, detangling my hair was a pain. So then I got a wet brush and have never looked back. So much more gentle on my hair! Oh but i chopped it last year lol
Really useful and informative video. I didn't understand till now whay there are some many kinds of brushes amd combs!
I use my Wet Brush daily, but I may look into the Denman because my hair is wavy and has a lot of frizz
Great video, as always! But where’s the link to your “favorite brush” mentioned at the end that builds volume at the roots? I’d love to track that one down…😊
I’ve used the cricket fast flo vent brush for years! Since late 90’s🤣 all time favorite. I love cricket combs and brushes! Their combs are my preferred comb when cutting!
I have always loved the rattail brush rather than comb. I don't like using combs on my hair. My mother taught me to start from the bottom up when I was about 8 years old. Ok there is one thing I have not as yet heard you mention and that is diet. I take thyroid for a medically damaged thyroid (too much radio active iodine). I have stinging nettle growing in my backyard and have recently heard about it contributing toward thinning, especially for balding men. I have been tempted to try it (as a tea or smoothie or ? other). I also have aloe growing in my backyard, but not sure of it's benefits yet.
