Probably my favorite thing about myself is my hair so I try to treat it as best as I can. Besides the products you use and your diet I think a hairbrush is the most important tool for beautiful healthy hair.
First off, when I brush my hair I have a certain method to it. I split my hair into left and right sections. Then I start with one side on the bottom starting on the outside then the inside as I go up. Doing the front of a section and then back of that section then moving up slightly and repeating the same steps helps to prevent breakage.
I've tried different types of hairbrushes, boar bristle, ball tipped, copper, plastic bristles etc., but my favorite of all time and what works the best on my hair are the Isinis hairbrushes. If you're considering buying a new hairbrush or even if you're not you should definitely purchase the Isinis brand! I recently bought a regular and purse size, they are both great and I really love the purse size one for putting in my bag! The purse size is so convienant, is a good size still and brushes through tangles with ease. They are made in France and I believe the prices were $30 and $20.
