Healthy, Shiny Hair Starts with the Tools You Use

Share on

You can buy the nicest shampoo in the aisle and still wonder why your ends look rough and your roots feel flat. Often the problem isn’t in the bottle at all – it’s in the brush you grab every morning.

Cheap, sharp plastic bristles scratch the scalp, create static, and drag through tangles like a tiny bulldozer. Over time, that means more breakage, more frizz, and less shine.

Thats me organic Hairbrushes & Combs are built on a different idea: if you treat your scalp and hair gently, consistently, and with natural materials, your hair will eventually show it. Their brushes and combs are designed to glide, not scrape; massage, not attack; and support both scalp health and hair beauty in one simple daily ritual.

Why Your Hairbrush Matters More Than You Think

Most of us treat hairbrushes as an afterthought – until we start paying attention to what they’re actually doing.

A good brush or comb can:

  • Distribute natural oils from root to tip for natural shine 
  • Detangle without ripping strands out by the handful 
  • Gently stimulate the scalp and support better circulation 
  • Reduce static and frizz instead of causing it 
  • Help your hair air-dry into a smoother pattern 

A bad one can do the exact opposite.

When you move to thoughtfully designed, organic-based tools, you give your hair a break from daily micro-damage. The change doesn’t always shout on day one, but within a few weeks, you usually see easier detangling, calmer ends, and more movement.

What Makes Thats me organic Hairbrushes & Combs Different

Thats me organic focuses on tools that are kind to both hair and planet. While individual models vary, the line is built around a few key principles:

  • Natural, often plant-based materials rather than harsh plastics 
  • Smooth, rounded bristles or teeth that glide over the scalp 
  • Ergonomic shapes that sit comfortably in your hand, even during long detangling sessions 
  • Designs tailored to different hair types – from fine and straight to thick, curly, or coily 
  • A focus on durability, so you buy once and care for it, instead of constantly replacing broken tools 

Instead of a drawer full of random brushes, you build a small wardrobe of tools that actually earn their place in your routine.

Choose the Right Brush or Comb for Your Hair Type

One size doesn’t fit all when it comes to hair tools. Here’s a simple way to think about matching your brush or comb to your hair.

Fine or thin hair

Goals: volume, gentle detangling, no extra breakage.

Look for:

  • Brushes with softer, more flexible bristles that won’t rip out fragile strands 
  • Smaller or mixed bristle patterns that can lift at the root without scratching the scalp 
  • Lightweight handles that make it easy to style without pulling too hard 

Use light, controlled strokes starting from the ends and working upward.

Medium to thick straight or wavy hair

Goals: smooth lengths, fewer tangles, balanced shine.

Look for:

  • Paddle brushes or wider heads that can cover more surface area 
  • Rounded tips that massage the scalp without irritation 
  • Combs with wider teeth for initial detangling after washing 

Start with a wide-tooth comb on damp hair, then follow with a brush once it’s at least partially dry.

Curly or coily hair

Goals: defined pattern, minimal frizz, happy scalp.

Look for:

  • Wide-tooth combs or special detangling brushes designed to work with curls 
  • Tools that you can use section by section, ideally on well-conditioned or damp hair 
  • Gentle bristles or teeth that separate curls rather than shred them 

Remember: for many curls, combing is best done before or during conditioning – not on dry hair.

Sensitive scalp

Goals: comfort, calm, no rough scratching.

Look for:

  • Brushes with especially rounded, smooth bristles or wooden pins 
  • Flexible bases that move with the contour of your head 
  • Smaller sections of hair at a time to avoid tugging 

If brushing has always felt like a tiny torture session, the right organic brush can be a complete reframe.

Make It a Ritual, Not a Chore

A brush isn’t just a tool – it’s a habit. Turning haircare from “rush through it” into a short ritual can transform both your results and how you feel.

Try this simple routine:

  • Morning:
    Gently brush from ends upward, then from roots to tips, to distribute oils and wake up the scalp. Take 1–2 minutes instead of five rushed seconds. 
  • After washing:
    Apply conditioner, then use a wide-tooth comb to detangle in the shower, starting at the ends. Once hair is towel-dried, use your brush to shape parting and lay the hair into place. 
  • Evening:
    Quick, calming brush-through before bed to remove tangles from the day and relax the scalp. Think of it as a mini massage. 

When you have a brush that feels good in your hand and on your head, it’s suddenly much easier to keep this up.

Styling Tips with Less Breakage and Frizz

You don’t need heat tools for every look. Good brushes and combs can do more than you’d think:

  • For smooth ponytails:
    First detangle with a wide-tooth comb, then use a brush to gently gather hair in the direction you want. This reduces bumps and tension at the hairline. 
  • For natural waves:
    After hair is 80% dry, use a brush or comb to sculpt your natural movement into place, then let it air-dry completely without over-touching. 
  • For volume at the roots:
    Flip your head upside down, gently brush at the roots to lift, then flip back and smooth just the top layer so it doesn’t look messy. 
  • For second-day hair:
    A few slower, intentional strokes can revive shape and shine without re-washing or restyling everything from scratch. 

A gentle tool gives you more control – and less collateral damage.

Scalp Health: The Hidden Hero of Shiny Hair

Glossy lengths start at the scalp. Regular, gentle brushing with well-designed tools can:

  • Encourage circulation to the hair follicles 
  • Help remove product buildup and dead skin from the surface 
  • Spread your natural sebum along the hair shaft, acting as a free, built-in conditioner 
  • Support a more balanced scalp environment over time 

The key word is gentle. You’re not scrubbing; you’re massaging. Think of your brush as a calmer, kinder way to wake up the roots.

Sustainability Mindset: Tools That Respect Your Hair and the Planet

“Organic” in hair tools isn’t just a buzzword. It usually signals:

  • More natural, often biodegradable or recyclable materials 
  • Less reliance on cheap, hard plastic 
  • Longer-lasting products that don’t need constant replacement 

When you invest in a well-crafted brush or comb and care for it properly, it can stay in your life for years. That’s better for your hair, your bathroom drawer, and the planet.

Troubleshooting: Fast Answers for Daily Hairbrush Problems

Even the best tool can feel confusing at first. Here are quick fixes to common issues:

  • “My brush still seems to pull.”
    Work in smaller sections, start at the ends, and only move closer to the roots once each section is tangle-free. 
  • “My hair looks flat after brushing.”
    Focus on brushing underneath the hair and at the roots with your head tilted forward, then gently smooth the surface layer. 
  • “I’m getting static.”
    Try brushing on slightly damp hair or apply a tiny amount of leave-in conditioner or hair oil before brushing. Natural materials usually help reduce static over time. 
  • “My curls lose definition when I brush.”
    Switch to using a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush only when the hair is well-conditioned and damp, then avoid brushing once it’s dry.
