You’ve had a long day, trust me, I know. You’ve just stepped out of the shower, and you’re about to brush your hair before you go to sleep — so which should you reach for, the comb or the brush?

When it comes to the race against your hairline, the proper styling is essential in order to avoid the dreaded comb-over. Although hair loss from brushes and combs is not permanent, it is essential to use the correct ones in order to prevent leaving behind any of strands from your cherished coif in your hair styling tools.

Sink your teeth into this: Ever notice how much hair seems to fall out more when taming your tresses straight out of the shower? Since wet hair is weaker than dry hair, it must be treated like a newborn baby to prevent damage, like breaking and splitting, or even worse – falling out. After a shower, or anytime when you are detangling your hair, it is best to use a wide-toothed comb to manage your mane.

But don’t throw away that brush just yet: Brushing your hair helps improve shine by distributing the oils throughout the length of your hair. The best way to do it? Start at the end and work your way up – that way, if you encounter a stray knot, it will not cause as much damage or hair loss as haphazardly working from the scalp.

So let’s recap: which should you use? The correct answer is both, combing is for detangling, while brushing is for shine. Seems simple enough right? If you still find yourself having to clean out your brushes and combs often even when using both correctly, don’t blame your tools – blame it on your genes.
