 G'day all, so I've been giving some thought lately to using a brush on my hair to help keep it down, any advice from the wonderful world of long hairs?  Thanks mates!
Cheers,
Peter

Don't use a brush to detangle. Detangle with a wide-toothed comb first, then just use the brush to polish and smooth. And don't use a brush at all if your hair is curly or frizzy.

Brushing breaks up the curls/waves from sticking together, creating more volume, and the appearance of frizz. If your hair is just a little bit wavy, you can probably brush, but be sure to brush only when dry and completely tangle-free, to avoid stretching and breakage of the hair.

You didn't mention what kind of hair you have. If it is thick and/or curly...
a brush is probably a bad idea.
L'Oreal MELTing Gel is super slick. When it is applied to damp hair and combed...
with a WIDE tooth comb you should get the effect you're after.
You can also touch up problem spots with L'Oreal Studio FX Liquid SPRAY Gelhttp://img.epinions.com/images/opti/d4/87/L_Oreal_Studio_FX_Liquid_Gel-resized200.jpg>
Good Luck!
