The smoothing brush is specially designed to smooth, tame, and style hair without breaking it. Unlike a classic comb, it allows for even product distribution and a much more natural and shiny finish.
Its advantages:
It gently smooths hair
It distributes styling products evenly
It tames frizz and flyaways
It provides a neat and professional result
Step 1: Prepare your hair
Before you begin styling, it is important to prepare your hair.
Start by detangling your hair to avoid knots with your brush. Your hair can be slightly damp or dry, depending on the desired hairstyle. Then apply a small amount of styling product (gel, wax, or styling cream).
The goal is to facilitate smoothing and hold the style in place.
Step 2: Apply the styling product
Apply a small amount of product to the areas to be smoothed down. It's best to start with a small amount to avoid a greasy or stiff look.
Distribute the product with your fingers or directly with the smoothing brush to ensure even application.
Tip: You can use aloe vera gel or a homemade hair mask instead of traditional products.
Step 3: Use the smoothing brush
Take your smoothing brush and start brushing your hair in the desired laying direction.
Use regular, gentle movements to smooth the hair against the scalp. The brush allows you to:
- Tame stray hairs
- Lay down small hairs
- Create a smooth and neat finish
Work strand by strand if necessary for a more precise result.
Step 4: Setting the sleek look
Once you've achieved the sleek look, you can set the hairstyle so it lasts all day.
Several solutions exist:
- Apply a light mist of hairspray
- Use a scarf or headband for a few minutes
- Brush one last time for a perfect finish
This step ensures a long-lasting, flawless sleek look.
Tip: For a super neat and precise sleek look, use a small spoolie brush or a specific finishing product. These tools help tame baby hairs and achieve a flawless finish without weighing down the hairstyle.
