The best hairbrush for your long hair is the one that will leave it looking long and luscious.
According to hairstylist Mark Garrison, a paddle brush is the best one for the job (via TODAY). It's considered ideal for long hair because it covers a large surface area and can spread the natural oils in your roots throughout your hair strands. Since those naturally-produced oils can act as a conditioner of sorts, a paddle brush can help ensure they cover every part of your scalp with ease.
When your hair is wet, you want to be extra careful about which type of hairbrush you use on your hair. Per Head & Shoulders, wet hair is in its most vulnerable state for breakage, meaning too much tugging or pulling on your hair strands can damage your hair cuticles over time. Parade suggests using a specially-designed wet brush to help detangle your hair without damaging it. Additionally, a hairbrush with two-tiered bristles helps comb through the hair with minimum tugging.
While you don't need a collection of hair brushes, you do want to ensure you have the correct ones for the most common uses like detangling and smoothing.
