9 Hair Mistakes Making Your Hair Loss Worse

8. Over-brushing and Its Consequences

While brushing is necessary to detangle hair and distribute natural oils, over-brushing can lead to hair damage and loss. Excessive brushing can cause friction and breakage, especially if done with the wrong type of brush. It's important to use a brush suited to your hair type, such as a wide-tooth comb for curly hair or a boar bristle brush for fine hair. Brushing gently and only when necessary can help maintain hair integrity. Incorporating detangling sprays can also aid in reducing the need for excessive brushing.
