Metal combs can be very electrifying, break hair and damage the scalp.

What hairbrush is better?

There are the following types of hair combs: wooden, metal, plastic, ceramic, bone. Appeared not too long ago new class combs - silicone (an alloy of plastic and silicone). These combs do not electrify the hair, they are easy to wash. Usually silicone brushes are cream-colored and are engraved with "anti-static".

But there is also a minus of non-varnished wooden combs. Such combs absorb sebum and dirt, which is why the wood must be properly polished. Hand-sawn wooden combs are especially valued, which should be marked on the packaging.

When buying a brush made of natural bristles, you should pay attention to what material the handle of this comb is made of. It is better if it is a rubberized or silicone handle (provides convenient use and does not slip out of your hands while drying your hair with a hairdryer).

The most important criterion for choosing such combs is the bristles. Ideally, it should be natural (wild boar hair). It is very easy to determine whether it is a natural pile or an artificial one - when the natural pile is heated with a hairdryer, it begins to emit a burnt smell. Combs with natural bristles They are more expensive than regular plastic combs, but worth it. These are the most gentle combs for your hair.

It is preferable to buy any comb in specialized stores for hairdressers in order to avoid fakes. In such stores, each batch of goods has a safety certificate, which, if desired, can be checked.

- give hair shine and smoothness;

- as mentioned above, such brushes are not suitable for oily hair, as they distribute sebum throughout the hair, which gives an untidy look to your hair. But you can not touch the hair roots with such brushes, which will add shine to your hair;
- Combs made of natural bristles require frequent personal care. They need to be washed at least once a week;

How to comb your hair correctly

A few secrets for combing hair:
- in no case should you comb wet hair, since wet hair is strongly stretched when combing, its structure is disturbed, the scales exfoliate and the hair begins to split (read on our website how to prevent hair splitting);
- hair must be dried with a towel or hairdryer, but the best option for drying hair is room temperature. When drying with a hairdryer, the hair dries up and breaks, when the hair is rubbed with a towel, the ends of the hair begin to split;
- it is better to start combing the hair from the ends, smoothly moving to the roots of the hair. So they comb better and faster without the formation of tangled lumps;
- tangled clumps of hair should not be tried to untangle again and again by running a comb over a tangled clump. Hair again at this moment break and split. It is better to try to untangle the hair first with your hands, and then help with a comb.

Conclusion

Do not pull your hair with tight and narrow elastic bands. This leads to a strong tightening of the hair, which damages the hair follicle and begins to fall out. It is better to use soft and wide elastic bands for hair. The use of metal hairpins also does not favorably affect the health of the hair and it is better to refuse them.

Choose the right combs that suit your hair and let your hair radiate health and shine, delighting you and those around you with its beauty!

classical

The most common comb of the classic form should be in every girl. But they differ in material. It can be artificial, natural or mixed.

Most the best way This is a comb with natural bristles. The wooden comb perfectly massages the head.

Plastic combs are still undesirable - they will only aggravate the entanglement of your hair and increase its electrification.

The secret of brushing from a professional hairdresser:

Popular materials

Combs differ not only in their appearance, but also in what material they are made of. Let's look at the three most popular options that modern girls use in their daily lives.


Wooden

Wood combs are, in general, the best choice for girls, regardless of hair type. These brushes are the best for cleaning. They do not electrify the hair, but only smooth them as gently as possible. With such combs, it is best to comb your hair after applying masks or various styling products. This is justified by the fact that all these funds do not enter into a chemical reaction with the elements present in their composition.

When choosing materials, you should pay attention to the features of each of them. So, a birch comb helps to treat dandruff. It also enhances the effect of masks on your hair. To soothe a damaged scalp and alleviate itching is worth using an oak comb.


Another popular option is the juniper comb. In addition to the pleasant forest aroma that this brush gives, its ability to calm and relieve stress can also be called its plus. But if you have problems with dandruff, then you should buy a cherry comb.

When choosing wooden brushes, it is better to abandon painted models. Your purchase should be as natural as possible and, accordingly, of high quality.


plastic

From combs made of plastic, it is better to refuse. They do not care for the hair, but only increase the fragility of the lock and spoil the general condition of the hair. Carbon or silicone brushes are more useful for the condition of the hair.


They are used by professional stylists and hairdressers. You should not use them on an everyday basis, but they are suitable for certain procedures - haircuts, styling or coloring. In this case, thin plastic combs perfectly separate the strands and are easy to clean.


metal

Another common option is a metal comb. It allows you to untangle even the most wrapped curls. But stylists recommend that owners of dyed hair not use such combs. The fact is that the metal can react with chemical components your paint, changing the shade of your hair.

In addition, hard metal combs can injure strands of hair. This is especially true for owners of thin and brittle strands.


Which is better

The choice of comb must match individual characteristics your appearance. First of all, pay attention to the length. For owners of short hair, it is enough to choose one high-quality comb. But if you have long curls, then you should get two brushes - one for daily use, and the other for special occasions when you need spectacular styling.

As a comb for daily use, it is best to choose a classic brush with natural bristles. But for styling, you can choose brushing, which will allow you to easily style your hair in the desired hairstyle.


Another important point to remember is that a massage brush is better for long hair, while for short hair a flat one would be more useful. The length of the teeth also depends on the length of the hair. The longer your curls, the longer, respectively, should be the teeth on your comb. This will make the brushing process easier.


If you have dry or overdried hair, then the brush should be supplemented with the softest and most elastic teeth. You can also choose a comb with natural bristles, which also does not injure the hair. If you have greasy hair, then you'd better use a wooden or horn comb.


For thin and straight hair, you can choose any massage brush. Such combs do not harm the hair and do not spoil its structure. The same brushes are worth buying for hair loss. If this problem is relevant for you, then it is better to buy just such a soft comb that will smooth out curls without pulling them out. And due to the fact that such a brush also massages the head, blood flow to its surface increases, which means that the hair begins to grow faster.


But tangled and naughty curls will be easier to comb with a comb with rare teeth. So the curls are divided into thin strands, and you do not damage them.

For thick hair designed wide comb with natural bristles. It is with her that you can comb the strands as efficiently as possible, separating them.

In addition, the comb must be provided with a full daily care. Wash your brush at least once a week. Of course, this can only be done if the material allows. For this, boiling water is first used, and then a soap solution. The comb washed in this way should then be rinsed well and dried, laying it on a thick terry towel.

It is also worth remembering that a comb that you use on a regular basis should not be transferred to someone. Do not use one brush for two, even with loved ones, so that your hair always remains healthy and looks well-groomed.


But, even if you provide your comb with proper care, it still should not serve you for more than six months. Even if the comb still looks decent, it is still worth replacing it with a new one every two seasons.

It is also worth changing the comb if you notice at least minimal damage on it. If the tips of the teeth are cracking, then it's time for you to buy a new brush - this comb will only damage the strands more.
