1. Choose a detangling brush designed for textured hair types 

When it comes to detangling, wavy and curly hair requires a more thoughtful approach—a brush that moves gently through curls, follows their natural shape, and glides through the hair without snagging. Like every hair type, textured hair deserves exceptional care. That's exactly what Altesse Studio . 

With its Collection Beauté detangling brush, Altesse Studio a professional solution specifically designed for thick, wavy, and curly hair. Crafted in France using premium materials and time-honored artisanal techniques, this luxury brush combines performance with craftsmanship. Its design also takes hair length into account, with a small size for short to medium-length hair and a large size for long to very long hair. 

What truly sets it apart? An exclusive bristle-setting technique combined with bio-based nylon fibers specially selected for textured hair. The result: 

• It detangles the hair while helping to maintain its natural curl pattern  

• It gently massages and cleanses the scalp  

• It separates strands with exceptional finesse, helping to reduce drying time  

• It ensures even distribution of treatments and styling products from roots to ends  

Brushing becomes smoother, more effective, and, above all, painless. That's why the Altesse Studio is the best choice for curly hair.

2. Divide your hair into three sections 

For a more thorough and effective detangling routine, divide your hair into three equal sections, from left to right—working on one section at a time. For best results, detangle your hair when it is dry or slightly damp. This helps maintain your hair's natural elasticity and minimizes the risk of breakage.

3. Gently detangle to help prevent breakage 

Curly hair responds best to a gentle touch. Pulling too quickly or brushing too aggressively can weaken the cuticle, disrupt the curl pattern, and contribute to frizz. The best way to help prevent breakage? As soon as you feel a snag, slow down and let your Altesse Studio do what it does best. 

4. Work your way up gradually from the ends to the roots 

Many people instinctively start at the roots, but this approach is harmful to the hair: knots are pushed down toward the ends, increasing tension on the hair shaft. Detangling without causing damage always starts at the ends.  

5. Brush your hair to nourish it and keep it healthy for the long term 

The spiral shape of curly and wavy hair makes it harder for natural oils to travel from the scalp to the ends. This is where Altesse Studio boar bristle care brush comes in. 

Boar bristles help pick up natural oils at the roots and distribute them along the length of the hair, nourishing it while helping to prevent tangles from forming. This enhances the benefits of detangling by providing nourishment, shine, and softness to the hair. 

Successfully detangling curly hair requires patience, technique, and the right tool. With a brush designed for your hair texture, every curl can reveal its natural beauty. Find the brush designed for your curls with our Brush Finder.
