Using a straightening brush on natural hair requires a few steps:



1. Start with clean, dry hair: Wash and condition your hair, then let it air dry or blow dry it completely before using the straightening brush.

2. Apply a heat protectant: Before using any heat styling tool, apply a heat protectant product to shield your hair from heat damage.


3. Section your hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections using clips or hair ties. This makes the straightening process more efficient.

4. Set the right temperature: Adjust the straightening brush to a suitable temperature for your hair type. Lower temperatures are recommended for fine or damaged hair, while higher temperatures are better for thicker or coarser hair.

5. Begin straightening: Take a section of hair and run the straightening brush through it from roots to ends. Be gentle and avoid tugging or pulling.

6. Repeat the process: Continue straightening one section at a time until you've covered all your hair.

7. Use a comb for extra help: For tight curls or tangles, you can use a comb to help detangle the hair before running the straightening brush through it.

8. Be patient: Take your time and go slowly to achieve the desired straightness. Rushing through the process may lead to uneven results or hair damage.

9. Optional finishing products: If desired, you can use a hair serum or oil to add shine and reduce frizz after straightening.

Remember, excessive heat styling can damage natural hair, so it's essential to use a straightening brush sparingly and incorporate regular deep conditioning treatments to keep your hair healthy.

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

Image
@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut
