Using the Right Brushes for Your Texture or Style

Beyond the products, the right tools also make a big difference in caring for your natural hair. Using the right brushes for blow drying and styling is as important as having the right regimen for your specific texture and style.

Great info. I think there's an assumption that hair with more texture can be treated roughly, but this video proves it's quite the opposite. And I love your analogy of treating the hair like a cashmere sweater. ❤

"There's an assumption that hair with more texture can be treated roughly." This!

I love how he honors hair

[@Domminikki]

Going to “professionals”, are the only times I’ve had my hair destroyed😢… thank you so much for the knowledge

[@Mickey-vk3uj]

Thanks for the clarification. I love going to hair schools because they are affordable and the students do an amazing job. One school I went to only use the round brush technique. Felt like my hair was being ripped from the scalp. I finally found a school that specializes in natural hair care and allows students to use the comb attachment. Great information!!

[@Harlem374]

Wow! This makes perfect sense. I was getting Dominican Blow Outs for the longest (best shampooers) in the world and was blown away at how silky they make my Lamb’s Wool lay w/out a lot of grease like the ole skool press n curl. Over time I noticed the thickness in my hair started thinning. Who knew? Thanx Guy, You really know ur stuff.👍🏾😉💙

[@msdiva]

I NEVER get my hair blown out (from wet to dry) at my local Dominican hair salon. They turn the heat setting on hades & use sooo much tension! I get a roller set, have them blow out the roots only, & then wrap or pin curl.

[@Harlem374]

@@msdiva Ty 2 heads r better than one. I will request this next time, as my hair is so thick I always let them talk me into using that blower thingy, and they O’dee on it, BTW, Hades Priceless!👍🏾😉

[@yvettehenry9085]

Thank you for the brush education. I use my fingers and a comb attachment. 👍🏽

[@tiffani2grant]

I couple of times you mention using a denman or flat brush for pre-drying. can you go into more explaination of what pre-drying is? Thank you for all the great information!!

[@teairrah8484]

I'm glad you answered my question! Can we now discuss combs? Unfortunately our community is so uneducated on what tools work for what styling techniques. Can we get into the comb! There are stylist who are using fine tooth combs to detangle type 4 hair in 2024; they are pulling out all of their clients hair.

[@Aisstylish]

Thank you for this information Dickie! 🙏

[@lateefahholley566]

I just want to say that I'm extremely grateful for your videos. They have helped me tremendously in my natural hair journey. I live in the south and would love to come to your salon one day!

[@theRubyRunner]

Thank you! 😊

[@judystevens6888]

Thank you

[@Picturegirl26]

I love this video because you have confirmed that I am on the right track when blow drying my thick coarse textured hair. I used the comb attachment, and my hair is thriving now. You are a hair guru!! Always so informative and everything makes sense on the methods you describe. Many thanks🥰🥰

[@astr0_ki194]

Thanks so much for this info! You explained it so well! Have you ever used the Revair blow dryer? If so, what are your thoughts on it?

[@randygivens8421]

This is excellent information. Thank you. Dickey.

[@jencadenhead169]

Thank you for clarifying! I was confused before this video. Would love a video on how to use the comb to blow dry. And how to keep the comb securely on the blow dryer.

[@js1js135]

This may not be the right option for you, but my daughters and I have very thick hair. I got tired of that comb popping off. So….i secured it with the silver duct tape. It NEVER popped off again!😮

[@shequeragrace]

This was very helpful! Thanks so much!

[@adjeleganl2984]

This was refreshing new information on natural hair! I was curious if you have any specific brush recommendations for tightly coiled, dense, but fine 4c strands (for the purpose of wash and go's).

[@namaste348]

That's my hair too! It's like a chinchilla lol. I really love having so much hair🥰

[@carlacookingvegan]

You may have made a video about this, but air drying vs blow/heat drying. I’ve been hearing some stylist say that air drying is bad for the hair. ❤

[@hairrules]

Watch out for our Air Drying video coming soon.

[@hybridinfodesk409]

@@hairrules Waiting for that one. Cause I always air dry and so did my beautician mother. Heat dries my hair out Fine when it was relaxed but as a natural its a no no My hair is healthy. I dry the scalp portion first by sectioning off. Than the ends which dry quicker. My hair feels like silk from scalp to ends.

[@yvonnehoward7825]

Great information! Could you please review the unbrush?

[@MrsBuitenbeentje]

Great information, clear and concise ❤

[@youtubepadre]

wash and go styling techniques please!

[@jleapeters4544]

What do you suggest for fine natural hair. Texture changed after chemo

[@hairrules]

We have a chemo episode a few months ago :)

[@deborahblackshear3325]

😊. Thank you for this information.

[@lateefahholley566]

Can you show us how to properly finger detangle our hair?

[@shadesofj1]

much appreciated sir!

[@123456711751]

Thanks!

[@francinewebb3087]

Can we please get a video on heat drying vs air drying.

[@hairrules]

Our video on Air Drying is coming soon.

[@tmat90-o8t]

Thank you! 😊 I have a 3c/4a kind of texture, and I heard the Denmab brush was good for straightening and detangling?

[@rohlehr]

I’ve always intuitively been cautious of round brushes on my hair. I was right!

[@patriceturnipseed9226]

I have a combination of 3b and 3c hair type. My hair is prone to split ends and I have high porosity. Is rice water or products that contain rice water beneficial for my hair type?

[@hairrules]

Check out our video about rabbit holes.

[@chasingspiritualfreedom]

You're awesome. I can never do the paddle blow dry to save my life lol. Are you able to recommend a hair dryer or dryer brand under $100? Thanks in advance.

[@lovelota6334]

Deeper Than Hair recommends the red Kiss hair dryer. It is ~$20 and they use it in their salon. I bought it and it came with two different comb attachments, a concentrator nozzle and a diffuser. It is great value for the money.

[@beautybeats400debra9]

So what causes single dtrand knots?

[@marleyhill34]

Tangled, dry dehydrated hair.... Wash and goes in many hair types.

[@namaste348]

Question: I have fine 4c/4b hair but I have a lot of strands so it's thick. Is there ever a time I should be using a fine tooth comb to really get in there and detangle my hair? I use conditioner and my fingers, but I still come across tangles, webs, and single-strand- knots after I dry my hair. TIA💜

[@marleyhill34]

When to use a fine toothcomb to detangle....never. Lol! Maybe you need a straight trim! My hair only tangles excessively when it needs a trim.

[@HereDiianas]

Hi, unfortunately with a comb attachment I can get my ends to be straight when blow-drying because it does not give enough tensions on the ends of my 4c hair.

[@marleyhill34]

Maybe you need a trim? Dead, split, dehydrated, broken or knotted ends will never go straight.

[@feliciadunn644]

I'm new here but how do you form a great regimen when washing your hair? And what do you recommend for medium density hair/medium porosity?

[@hairrules]

You can start by NOT comparing your texture to others specifically those you see on the internet.

[@MsNique511]

🎉🙏🏿❤

[@amo2464]

I've never in my life seen a round bristle brush used on afro hair. Most people surely know not to use this brush...?

[@marleyhill34]

My stylist uses a one-inch diameter small round brush to blow out my hair. They have always done this to my hair at Aveda...however....They only do this when my hair is strong and healthy...This is not a weekly or monthly thing! 12-16 weeks only for my straight trim! My trichologists say to throw all the brushes, chemicals, styling products, extensions, the blowdryers, curling irons and flat irons away. lol! They are healthy hair purists.

[@beautybeats400debra9]

What? The Dominican use those brushes on 4c hair?😵‍💫 What about the hair bonds doing the wash and goes and not drying the hair, isn't that weakening the hair bonds that need to be dried under drier or defuser.

[@TheBellePerspectiveTV]

I just thought about that.

[@uberhaute_naturalz84]

It depends on your weather. I stopped using the dryer for my Wash n Go rather, I air dry coupled with my standing fan. Moreover, my weather is always hot and humid so, my hair dries within hours of making it.

[@deborahlarimer9124]

I never use a brush. Don't own one.

[@sknmwms6516]

I use a good stiff brush, comb that does not give. KALAZMEJE. GREAT TOOLS.

[@sabreniamckenzie3555]

Thank you!
