Yovanka Loria Launches Hair Brush Range

Hair extensions require considered care at home. Brushing too aggressively, pulling through knots or placing unnecessary tension around the attachment areas can make the hair more difficult to manage.

The YL brush collection was developed with the needs of extension wearers in mind, while remaining suitable for use on natural hair.

Each brush serves a different purpose, allowing you to choose the most appropriate option for detangling, smoothing and maintaining the hair throughout the day.

The Extension Brush is designed for the everyday care of professionally installed hair extensions.

Its bristle structure allows the brush to move gently through the lengths while helping you work around the attachment areas with greater control.

Begin brushing through the ends before gradually moving towards the mid-lengths and roots. Support the hair with your free hand to reduce unnecessary pulling as you work through any tangles.

When brushing near the installation, move carefully rather than dragging the brush forcefully across the rows, bonds or tapes.

The Detangler Brush is a flexible option for gently working through knots and tangles.

It can be used through the natural hair and extension lengths as part of your regular care routine, particularly when the hair needs additional detangling before styling.

Always begin at the ends and work upwards in small sections. Starting directly at the roots can push tangles further down the hair and create unnecessary tension.

Avoid brushing aggressively through heavily tangled or wet hair. Apply an appropriate leave-in product when recommended and take the time to separate difficult sections carefully.

The Cushion Paddle Brush is designed for smoothing, styling and creating a polished finish through the lengths of the hair.

Its broad shape makes it suitable for working through larger sections, whether you are brushing dry hair, preparing for styling or refining the finished result.

A paddle brush can be especially useful for longer hair and extensions, where an efficient but controlled brushing routine is important.

As with every brush, the pressure and technique used matter. Gentle, consistent brushing is preferable to pulling forcefully through resistance.

The best brush will depend on what your hair needs at that moment.

Choose the Extension Brush for regular extension maintenance and controlled brushing around professionally installed attachment areas.

Use the Detangler Brush when you need to work gently through knots, and reach for the Cushion Paddle Brush when smoothing larger sections or creating a more polished finish.

Many extension wearers find that using more than one brush throughout their routine provides the most flexibility.

Hair extensions should be brushed regularly to help prevent tangling and matting through the lengths.

Your exact routine will depend on your hair texture, lifestyle and installation, but brushing in the morning, before bed and when preparing the hair for washing or styling can help keep it manageable.

Pay particular attention to the nape and areas around the shoulders, as these sections can experience more friction from clothing and movement.

Your stylist can recommend a routine suited to your particular extension method and natural hair.

Divide the hair into manageable sections and support each section with one hand while brushing with the other.

Start at the ends and gradually move higher as the tangles release. Avoid repeatedly dragging the brush from the roots to the ends in one forceful movement.

Take extra care around the extension attachment areas. The aim is to keep the hair surrounding the installation separated and manageable without pulling directly against the attachments.

If you encounter a knot that does not release easily, stop and separate it carefully rather than applying more force.

Hair can be more vulnerable when wet, so it should always be handled carefully after washing.

Gently squeeze excess water from the hair using a towel rather than rubbing or twisting it. Separate the lengths into sections before beginning to detangle.

Use a brush suited to gentle detangling and follow the aftercare instructions provided by your extension stylist.

Never go to bed with wet or damp extensions, as this can contribute to tangling around the installation and through the lengths.

A quality brush is only one part of maintaining hair extensions at home.

Your routine should also include suitable cleansing and conditioning products, thermal protection before heat styling and regular maintenance appointments with your extension stylist.

Avoid applying heavy products directly around the attachment areas unless your stylist has advised otherwise, and always follow the recommendations provided for your specific installation method.

Consistent care between appointments can help keep both the natural hair and extension lengths looking smoother and easier to manage.

The YL brush range was created for professional salon use as well as everyday at-home care.

For stylists, having the right brush available during installation, blending and styling can support a more considered service.

For clients, continuing with a suitable brush at home helps create consistency between salon visits and makes following the recommended care routine simpler.

Your stylist can demonstrate the best brushing technique for your hair and explain which brush is most appropriate for your installation.
