Over-Brushing and the Wrong Tool

There is an old myth that brushing your hair 100 times a day leads to health and shine. For fine hair, this is actually a one-way ticket to thinning. Fine hair is prone to mechanical breakage, and over-brushing—especially with the wrong tools—can snap delicate strands and cause unnecessary shedding. Using a brush with stiff, plastic bristles can tug at the scalp and tear through tangles with too much force.

The fix is a simple tool swap. Reach for a wide-tooth comb when your hair is wet, as that is when it’s least vulnerable to stretching and snapping. For dry styling, a brush with soft boar bristles or flexible “tangle-teezer” style teeth is much kinder. When you do brush, always start at the tips and move upward toward the roots. This “bottom-up” technique ensures you aren’t pushing a small knot down into a giant one, keeping your hair on your head where it belongs.
