Q: How do you make your hair shiny?
A: Brush it through as a finishing step. Firm bristles smooth the cuticle flat along the length, and a flat cuticle is what reflects light, which is where shine actually comes from.
Q: How do you brush out curls?
A: Once curls are completely cool and set, brush through gently from the ends upward. That loosens them into soft, glossy waves rather than separating them into frizz.
Q: How do you smooth frizzy hair?
A: Work on dry hair with firm bristles, brushing in the direction the hair falls. Going over it repeatedly creates static, so a few smooth passes beats endless brushing.
