Why should you use a wide toothed comb?
We all put in the effort to keep our locks shiny and thick, and scalp healthy. Did you know, combing your hair obsessively is associated with more hair loss? But how often and gently can we do this without affecting hair health?
Brushing or combing your hair increases the blood circulation in your scalp and nourishes the hair roots to increase hair growth. It also helps to prevent the dead skin from clogging your scalp and blocking the natural oils that your hair produces.
It is also highly recommended that you comb gently to avoid snagging off your beloved mane, starting from tip to the roots. A "wide-tooth comb” has large space between the bristles and here is why we think it is the best choice for your hair.
- It is easier to detangle your hair with a wide toothed comb to use to reduce breakage while detangling your hair.
- If you have thick, curly, or textured hair, use combs with thicker teeth that allow larger portions of hair to pass through.
- These are extremely recommended for damp hair as it is the weakest and most vulnerable to breakage then.
- These combs are extremely beneficial for painful wounds, or pimples on the surface of the scalp as the wide bristles tend to be blunt and soothing on the scalp
- It is great for frizzy hair caused by trying to untie the knots in your hair with a regular comb or brush.
- It also helps in reducing dandruff as it reduces the amount of friction and harsh nicks, which then dries up and results in a flaky scalp.
- If you lose a bunch of hair every time you comb your hair, you can really prevent early baldness with something that is gentler in tugging and weighing down your hair.
- It is perfect for mornings when you are running late and still want your tresses to look tamed as it makes grooming more efficient without causing locks to fall.
