Exactly How to Cultivate Longer, Stronger Hair

Excessive brushing can lead to breakage, so Bodt advises detangling in the shower with a wide-toothed comb or wet detangling brush (such as The Knot Dr. The Pro, $14.99), starting at the ends to avoid creating knots and tangles.

There are also products to address the issue of "hair fall" from excessive brushing — check out the Kerastase Genesis line, specifically the Kerastase Genesis Serum Fortifiant Hair Serum, $51, a daily fortifying treatment designed to address weakened hair experiencing breakage from over-brushing.
