Tip 8: How to Brush Long Hair

It seems straight-forward enough, but a few subtle differences can make the difference when it comes to brushing longer hair.

Here are a couple of tips that will help:

Brush hair only when dry. Hair is weakest when it is wet and brushing can easily damage or break strands. Even when brushing dry hair use a wide-tooth comb first.

First, bend forward and allowing hair to fall. Using only a wooden base, natural bristle brush, bring hair from the nape of the neck over the head and down to the ends. 
 

Next, stand straight again with hair falling normally and brush from the underside of the hairline down the strands to the ends 

Continue by brushing top layers into place with long, even strokes. After each stroke, smooth hair with hands to reduce static. Increase the number of strokes weekly, starting with five and increasing by one per week until you find a comfortable routine. If oiliness develops, reduce strokes.
