Your hair care toolbox should include both a brush and a comb, which have different uses. Combs (preferably wide-toothed) are better at gently detangling wet hair in and out of the shower, and for preventing static. Brushes are faster and offer a nice scalp massage, but should be used with caution. Whether to use a comb or a brush also depends on your type of hair and its needs.
The consensus among hair experts is to brush hair once or twice a day to keep it healthy and strong. It is possible to overdo it when it comes to brushing hair, so focus on gentle detangling and preventing damage.
