Which hair brush should I use?

As a general rule, you should use natural bristle brushes.
Beyond this your hair will determine the type of brush you should use.
 For more bounce and a tighter wave, select a smaller round brush.
 For a sleek, straight finish, opt for a thick, large round brush.


For very curly hair a paddle brush is best.
While hair is damp, pull the brush from the roots, with the dryer directed
at the roots to pull out the frizz. Once hair is dry, section it off and smooth
 it around a large, round brush for a frizz-free finish.

Hair Science

Hair Science? 


Why would we decide to have a section called hair science? 


Well when researching the content for Hairstyles-and-hair.com we discovered so much information about hair, its structure, its properties, its lifecycle, growth rate and so much more really interesting and indepth information that we felt that no website that called itself Hairstyles-and-hair could be without it!

Fun hair science facts

  • The average number of hairs 140,000 for blondes, 100,000 for brunettes and 90,000 for red heads.
  • Hair grows about half an inch per month, faster in the summer.
  • A healthy scalp loses 50 to 100 hairs per day.
  • The life cycle of each strand is 2 to 7 years.
  • Hair falls out to make way for new hair and the cycle starts
    again.
  • The cuticles lie smooth and reflect light, which gives hair its shine.
