4. Careful With That Brush!

While detangling is important to hair health, you can actually do a ton of damage to your mane by brushing it the wrong way.

Girls with long, thick hair should use a large, vented paddle brush — the holes allow heat to disperse quickly, drying hair faster and minimizing exposure to the blow dryer. Fine and medium hair types should opt for a vented grooming brush. For wavy or curly textures, try gently finger-combing through hair. If you're prone to tangles, Phillips advises detangling nightly using a wide tooth comb and a leave-in smoothing cream.
