Trouble-free hair detangling is an art which is really hard to master. Sadly, it isn’t enough to take any comb or brush, and run it a few times through hair. Improper detangling can damage hair, break it and pull out.
It’s wise to take care of hair already when combing it. Let’s stop treating this element of everyday beauty ritual as a necessity and start noticing advantages of hair combing. Both a comb and brush don’t only help us take control over tangling hair but also contribute to maintaining good condition of strands. How is it possible?
Regular hair detangling has many advantages:
– helps with freeing hair from dust, dead epidermis cells, etc.,
– works like a very delicate scalp scrub,
– it removes hairs that have already fallen out but still remain somewhere between growing strands,
– replaces head massage improving blood circulation in scalp,
– enables to distribute protective sebum along the entire hair length,
– facilitates distributing hair care cosmetics evenly.
As it turns out, our grandmas were right repeating that evening hair combing is crucial. This procedure can truly accelerate the speed of hair growth if carried out regularly and when accompanied with a good hair care product such as a natural oil.
How to detangle hair the right way?
First and foremost, hair needs to be combed regularly. It’s suggested treating this procedure as a moment of relaxation for yourself. Moreover, time devoted to hair detangling also matters. In most cases, we comb hair giving it a lick and a promise, considering this procedure as an activity that doesn’t introduce anything new to our life. We’re satisfied when the strands are separated, we don’t look for anything else. However, hair combing should last at least a minute, even better when it lasts a little bit longer than that. All things considered, it’s time to make a ritual of hair combing.
Beauty Hack. Do you want to prevent hair tangling during combing and ease brushing? Use oil. Lightweight and non-overburdening hair oil adds softness and smooths hair thanks to which either a brush or comb will ‘glide’ through hair better so detangling procedure will become considerably easier.
Which hair brush to choose?
Of course, the types of accessories used to detangle hair are important because it’s them that determines whether hair combing is pleasant and easy. Therefore, it’s worth reaching for items made of natural materials because plastic or sharp-ended metal might damage hair and make the problem of static-prone hair even more serious. While dealing thick hair, it’s advised to use a wooden comb featuring widely-arranged teeth (this item would be also useful to comb wet hair and distribute conditioners/natural oils). If the hair is thin, it’s better to treat it with a brush made of natural bristle.
