Tip 3: Choose a boar bristle brush.
No, brushing your hair 100 times isn’t the way to go. But yes, brushing does help by spreading the natural oil to your hair, giving it a natural shine. We recommend brushing your hair gently with a boar bristle brush to help distribute the oil from your roots evenly to your ends.
Tip 4: Apply oil or hair mask for instant shine.
Just shampoo and conditioner won’t do the trick. Give your locks additional love by applying oil.
