When your hair is wet, the hydrogen bonds that give it strength are temporarily broken. This puts the hair in a state of "high elasticity." If you use a rigid-back brush while the hair is in this vulnerable state, you are essentially stretching a rubber band until it reaches its "snap point." Professionals call this mechanical trauma.
The secret to safe wet-detangling is the Vented Dream Detangler. Because the brush head is flexible and the back is open, it contours to the shape of the head even when the client is leaning back in a salon basin.
The Professional Basin Routine:
-
Saturate: Always apply a "slip" agent. In a salon, this is conditioner; at home, we recommend a liberal spray of Naturally No More Nits.
-
Section: Start at the nape of the neck—this is where the most matting occurs during the shampoo process.
-
The Glide: Use the Full Size Dream Detangler. Let the SuperFlexi bristles do the work. If you hit a knot, the bristles will bend and release, allowing you to gently "tease" it out rather than ripping through it.
By following these salon secrets, you can maintain your hair's integrity and keep your morning routine snag-free and healthy.
