Which hairbrush should I use for children?
Children’s hair is more sensitive than adults’, which is why it’s essential to choose a suitable brush.
Find out in this article how to choose the right hairbrush for your child.
Which hairbrush to choose for my child?
The choice of hairbrush for your child should not be left to chance. An inappropriate brush can cause breakage or pain.
The choice of hairbrush depends on age and hair type.
From 0 to 5 years old: The scalp and hair of children at this age are very sensitive, which is why it’s recommended to use a brush with very soft bristles.
The N.06 hairbrush, made with white boar bristles, is incomparably gentle. It perfectly adapts to young children's scalp while gently detangling knots.
Moreover, boar bristles, rich in keratin, can absorb sebum while hydrating the hair, which helps reduce the need for frequent shampooing.
This baby brush allows you to take care of your child while sharing a true moment of tenderness.
From 5 years old: For slightly older children, the choice of brush should depend on hair type:
Fine hair: The N.01 boar bristle brush is perfectly suited for this type of hair. It acts as a true moisturizing treatment thanks to its keratin-rich boar bristles. It also evenly distributes sebum from roots to ends, helping to space out shampoos while nourishing the hair.
Sensitive scalp: The N.03 brush features a mix of boar bristles and nylon pins, offering multiple benefits. It effectively detangles the hair while providing a gentle and revitalizing scalp massage, which stimulates blood circulation and promotes hair growth. It also contains boar bristles for maximum hydration.
Curly, coily hair: The N.04 hairbrush is the perfect ally for curly, thick, or coily hair. Thanks to its 100% nylon fibers, this vegan brush provides a stimulating scalp massage to promote microcirculation. It gently detangles the hair without damaging the hair fiber. It can be used on both dry and wet hair and is ideal for applying leave-in treatments after the shower.
How to brush my child’s hair?
To reduce breakage and avoid pulling on knots, always start detangling at the ends, then gradually work your way up to the roots. Also, hold your child’s hair at the base to reduce the pulling sensation on the scalp. This makes brushing gentler.
Finally, adjust the brushing frequency based on hair type:
If your child has fine, straight hair, detangle morning and evening.
For children with curly or coily hair, prefer detangling on damp hair using the N.04 brush. This makes detangling easier without breaking the curls. Once dry, the hair will have beautifully defined curls.
How to care for your hairbrush?
To preserve your hairbrush and make it last over time, maintenance is key. To do so, regularly remove accumulated hair after each use.
Then, once a week, perform a deep cleaning:
N.04 Detangling and massaging brush: Since this brush has only nylon pins, use a mild soap or shampoo and lukewarm water to remove impurities. Let it air dry with the bristles facing downward to avoid water accumulation and bacteria growth.
Boar bristle brushes N.01 and N.03: To avoid damaging the boar bristles, do not let them come into contact with water. Instead, use La Bonne Brosse cleaning tool, which helps remove all impurities.
