The condition of the hair and its appearance largely depends on the comb used. A comb that is not suitable for your hair type, as well as improper combing, can damage the scalp and disrupt the structure of the hair. Some combs electrify curls, which leads to even more tangles. In summer, our hair is negatively affected by the sun, and in autumn and winter – cold, wind and frost. Therefore, the right comb is healthy hair and help to care for them at any time of the year.
Combs and brushes: metal, plastic or wood?

Products made from natural materials are considered preferable, the most popular of them are wooden ones. They are more environmentally friendly than plastic or metal. It is important that the teeth of the comb are round, smooth and well polished so as not to damage the scalp. Non-varnished wooden combs are considered more useful for hair: they are suitable for all types of hair.

A metal comb or brush can be more dangerous for hair: I often use such a comb. A comb made of metal electrifies hair less than plastic: when using a metal brush, pay attention to the ends of the teeth. If they are not protected by special plastic nozzles, then it is easy to scratch the scalp with such a comb when combing.

Plastic combs and brushes are the most popular: they are easy to clean, affordable and attractive. However, plastic often electrifies hair: especially long flat combs, to which curls literally stick. Brushes with dense bristles made of synthetic materials less electrify the hair.
Each hair type has its own comb or brush
Long straight hair is easier to comb with a comb with sparse, large teeth. Long curly hair will help to “tame” a silicone comb, which makes it easier to untangle stray curls. If the hair is thick and long, then brushes made of natural bristles or soft rubber are most suitable. With such a brush, you can not only gently comb thick hair, but also do self-massage of the head.

Round brush-rollers for combing long curls, especially dry type hair, will not work: the hair will wind around them and get tangled. But for drying, styling and creating volume – very much so. To straighten hair when blow-drying, it is more convenient to use combs with a small diameter.
How brush and dry your hair properly

How уже было сказано, самыми «здоровыми» расческами и щетками признаны изделия из натуральных материалов. But even here you can overdo it if you comb your hair too often or try to untangle your hair by leaning on a comb and literally tearing out whole strands. Contrary to popular myth, brushing your hair 20-30 times a day is not healthy at all. It is enough to comb your hair in the morning, before going to bed and comb your hair 2-3 times during the day. If the strands are tangled, then they should be untangled with your fingers, and not trying to comb through with a comb.

So that the hair does not become brittle, does not split at the ends, it is important to comb them properly after washing. So, combing should be done when the hair is damp, not wet, so as not to injure them. In order to keep your hair healthy and shiny, it is important:
start combing from the bottom of the curl, rising gradually higher and higher. It is more convenient to comb a strand of hair by holding it at the base
if the hair is too dry, then special balms, conditioners and sprays will help facilitate combing
don’t forget to wash your comb or brush with soap or shampoo and clean the remaining hair from it regularly.
