Brush gently
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.
Treat Yourself
Finally, handle growing hair with care: silk wraps and pillowcases (like the popular Slip Silk Pillowcase, $89) decrease drag on hair and skin, and consider a shower filter to avoid hard water and mineral deposits. If a fancy filter is out of budget, check out the Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Collection, $30, a set of products designed to remove hard mineral deposits from the hair.
Happy hair growing, everyone!
