Care for and discipline your hair through brushing

Just like living beings, hair senses climate changes and is able to draw the resources it needs from its environment. 

The humidity level in the atmosphere is a main indicator of good scalp health and whether our hair needs specific care. 

Humidity responsible for frizz in the hair

Frizz is a sign of dehydration of the hair fiber, a small, unruly curl of hair that separates from the rest. All it takes is a little too much moisture in the air for the frizz to rise up and make hair unruly.

In fact, in order to try and find moisture, the hair scales will absorb the hydrogen particles present in the humidity. When this molecule is absorbed, the keratin fibers in our hair retract and fold over themselves, creating frizz.

This reaction affects all types of hair, but is more evident on wavy and curly hair, which is more porous and dry than straight hair. 

For disciplined hair without frizz, rely on thehydration of the scalp. Properly nourished, the hair fibers will close up and become less saturated with the water in the air.

Did you know? The impact of humidity on our hair is used in meteorology to determine the level of water in the atmosphere. Better known as a hair hygrometer, this little compass uses the expansive properties of the hair fiber in contact with hydrogen to measure the humidity in the air. 

Protect your hair from frizz by moisturizing it with brushing

Our scalp contains healthy nutritious oils in the sebaceous glands. Brushing in the morning and evening stimulates the root bulb and provides essential nutrients for the well-being of our hair. 

Renowned for sensitive scalps and fine hair, boar bristle brushes bring vitality and nutrition to the hair. Thanks to the nutritive properties of its hair follicles, the boar bristle brush restructures the hair by naturally and thoroughly moisturizing it. The sebum, distributed from the roots to the tips of the hair during brushing, coats the scales of the hair fiber and make them less sensitive to humidity.

For curly hair, it’s recommended to use a comb with large teeth in order not to disrupt the curls. The hair comb helps to avoid breaking the curls and disciplines the hair. By combing your hair with a natural oil, your curly hair will be nourished to the tips without being puffy!
