Proper hair care includes not only the use of a good shampoo, food and moisturizing hair, but also a suitable hair comb. In addition, many important nuances should be observed, using this, at first glance, a primitive subject. About varieties of combs and the specifics of their use, let's talk further.
Types of hairbrushes
Daily combing of strands is necessary not only to give them a neat appearance and the necessary shape, but also required to maintain their health (by acting on the scalp). It is not difficult to get confused and get confused in the choice, because now manufacturers offer a variety of diverse types of combs. Some devices are suitable for permanent use, others - only for hair styling, for use when staining strands, etc. Conditionally, the comb can be classified into three groups:
- combs;
- massage;
- stowage.
Thinking about what hairbrush to choose, it is important to first determine for what purposes it is required. It takes into account the structure of the hair, the length, the state of their health. It is necessary to take into account the shape of this device, the type of bristles, material, quality. If the comb is picked up incorrectly and is used inaccurately, it can lead to damage and even hair loss. For example, combs with very coarse, stiff or pricking teeth injure the scalp, and as a result of damage to the epidermis, hair bulbs can be destroyed.
Skeletal hairbrush
A very common type of comb for hair is the so-called comb-skeleton. Its main purpose - use for drying and styling hair drier. Often, such a comb is made of plastic. Thanks to the special structure, the presence of holes, this tool helps to quickly dry the hair dryer and eliminates the risk of overheating of the hair and skin (the flow of warm air is evenly dispersed).
Simultaneously, the skeletal hairbrush combs the hair well, without hurting them, because The teeth are located distantly from each other and have rounded tips. In some models, denticles are placed on one side, in others - from both. In this case, their length can be different, so that the comb is used for curls of different lengths. To create a hairdo, this kind of comb is not good, but it is great for raising hair in the root zone, i.e. to obtain a radical volume.
Such a comb is great for thick straight hair, and for curly locks it's not an option. Choosing a comb-skeleton, it is worth giving preference to models with a special coating to relieve static tension. It is recommended to pay attention to the quality of the material (if the plastic exudes an unpleasant odor, then when heated it releases toxins).
Round hair comb
Choosing an option for creating hairstyles at home, it is recommended to pay attention to round hairbrushes - brashingov. They are great at coping with the laying of such haircuts, as bean, page, square, cascade. With their help, it is even possible to create waves on the hair or to straighten curly locks, "pacify" disobedient locks. Due to different diameters, you can pick up a small round comb for bangs, and large for styling long hair.
Often, hair combs for round hair are made with a metal base-cylinder that heats from the hair dryer and acts as ironing. Control over overheating is carried out through holes, through which a warm air jet dissipates. In addition, there are options with a base of plastic, ceramic, wood. The teeth on these combs can be made of nylon, metal, plastic, natural nap. It is worth noting that too frequent use of brashing with a hair dryer weakens the hair, especially thin and dyed.
Massage hairbrush
The name of this type of comb speaks for itself - its main function is to provide a massage effect for the head surface. Thanks to a soft rubber base, comb teeth descend to the desired depth, gently massaging the skin. Due to this, microcirculation improves in tissues, follicles receive more nutrients to improve growth and hair condition. Together with this, the massage brush for the hair combs well and smooths strands of any length.
Massage combs can have an oval or rectangular shape. They are made of plastic, wood, ceramics. The teeth are wooden, plastic, nylon, of natural bristles (horse hair, wild boars, etc.). If the teeth are not bristles, their tips must end with small balls protecting the skin and hairs from injury.
The comb-brush is also useful because it evenly disperses the sebum along the entire length of the curls, providing protection to the dry tips of the hair. At the same time, it is more prudent to use a massage brush for girls with excessively greasy hair, The problem can worsen. For strong, thick hair, the best option is a more rigid comb, for thin and dry hair - with soft, elastic teeth. Girls with very thick hair are recommended massage brushes with different teeth.
Wooden hairbrush
Combs from wood are advised for daily use by many specialists, because they are suitable for curls of any length, structure, type. It can be like a massage brush with wooden wide teeth, perfectly massaging the scalp, and a wooden comb-comb for the hair, ideal for combing thick long strands. For their production, wood of many species is used - oak, birch, pine, juniper, cherry, apple, pear, etc. It is believed that such combs favorably affect the hair condition, help to relieve stress, headache, etc.
Choosing a comb from wood, it is better to prefer models that are not covered with paint or varnish, so that natural material shows its useful effect. It should be remembered that these combs are fragile and short-lived, they are difficult to clean from contaminants. If a wooden brush or comb has darkened, it has lost smoothness, cracks and burrs appeared on it, the tool will have to be thrown away.
