Introduction: Why Brushing Causes More Damage Than You Think

Hair brushing is one of the most frequent forms of mechanical stress. When done incorrectly, it causes micro-damage that accumulates over time, leading to breakage, frizz, and dullness.

1. The Most Common Hair-Brushing Mistakes

• Brushing aggressively
• Starting at the roots
• Brushing soaking-wet hair
• Using plastic or metal bristles
• Never cleaning brushes

2. Why Brush Material Matters

Plastic bristles:

• Create static
• Scratch the scalp
• Push oil around instead of distributing it

Pig bristles:

• Mimic human hair
• Smooth cuticles
• Reduce friction
• Improve shine naturally

Koyace Integration:
The Koyace brush uses 2cm natural pig bristles and a curved pine-tower shape that glides smoothly, reducing tension and daily damage.

3. Proper Brushing Technique (Step-by-Step)

1. Start at the ends
2. Work upward in sections
3. Use light pressure
4. Brush slowly

4. When to Brush

• Before washing (to prevent tangles)
• Before bed (to reduce nighttime knots)
• Avoid brushing wet hair unless using a wide-tooth comb
