Hold the brush handle between your index and middle fingers and wrap it in your palm. 1) As a hairbrush, brush before shampooing. Brushing before shampooing removes tangles and improves shampoo effectiveness! Tangle-free, smooth hair requires less shampoo to lather. (Individual results may vary.) When combing wet or tangled hair: Hold a small section of hair and comb from the ends, gradually working your way down to the roots. Gently comb in one direction. Do not comb in the opposite direction. Wet hair tangles easily, so comb gently. When combing dry hair: Comb from the roots to the ends. 2) As a shampoo brush, wash your hair. Removes scalp dirt and sebum that are difficult to remove with just your fingertips. Lather shampoo well before use. Hold the brush as shown in the instructions illustration and wash your entire head using small, shaking movements. Do not press too hard, move widely, or move in a circular motion. Also, do not move the brush while it is attached to your scalp. This can damage your scalp and cause hair to tangle. When changing the position of the brush, move it slightly away from your scalp. Wash the front of your head, starting from the hairline towards the top of your head. Wash from the hairline through the sides of your head and around your ears. Wash the back of your head, starting from the nape of your neck towards the top of your head. 3) Use the brush as a treatment brush to blend the treatment. This will distribute the treatment throughout your hair, increasing its effectiveness. Apply the treatment to your entire hair, quickly work it in with your fingers, and then brush to distribute the treatment throughout your entire hair. *Start by combing the ends of your hair, and once you can easily brush the ends of your hair, gradually move towards the roots. Do not forcefully comb out tangles in your hair.
