Which comb to choose for home use?
For daily home use, most women need to have in their arsenal 2 types of combs: a comb with rare teeth and a flat massage brush.
Comb with sparse teeth
Without this comb it's hard to do, especially if you have long and thick curls. After washing your head with a comb with sparse teeth, it's safer to comb the wet strands. The fact is that wet hair gets the ability to stretch under the weight of moisture and if you stretch it even stronger than the comb, it begins to break. For this reason, many experts recommend to completely abandon the combing of wet hair. But if you are used to combing hair right after water procedures, then use only a comb with long, rare teeth. It can be made of plastic or wood, but not metal. Metal combs are the root cause of the split ends. Now they are rarely seen in stores, but if you have a similar specimen, hurry to get rid of it.
Wooden combs are the most eco-friendly, but require more careful care than plastic ones. At least once a week they should be rinsed with soapy water and then immediately dried with a hairdryer. The fact is that from a prolonged stay in a moist environment, the tree swells and the comb loses its shape. After the comb is washed and dried, it is necessary to wipe the entire surface with a cotton pad dipped in olive or castor oil.
Flat massage brush
This comb for home use can be of any size and shape, but its base must necessarily be marked antistatic. This is especially important in the winter, since it is during the cold season that the hair loses the maximum amount of moisture and begins to become electrified.
In addition, at the flat massage brush the ends of the teeth must necessarily be rounded, otherwise you will injure the scalp and the hair itself. Give preference to specimens made from natural bristles - this brush is very useful, especially for split tresses. Only natural bristles, in addition to head massage, can smooth the cuticles of the cuticle, enhancing their reflective capacity. Therefore, the regular use of such a "massage" returns the hair lost shine.
Professional Hair Comb: Appointment
The assortment of combs for professional use is much more extensive. Types and purposes of some of them are sometimes incomprehensible to a person uninitiated, but for stylists and hairdressers they are an indispensable tool. Among the main types of combs for pros, you can note:
- Brashing (used when working with a hairdryer). There are different diameters: from 15 mm to 80 mm. In work, models with a thermofiber, ceramic or tourmaline base are most often used. Professional brashing features a sharp tip of the handle, which is convenient to allocate individual strands.
- a comb with large teeth and a working hairbrush for a hairstyle.
- tupirovochnaya brush, most often used for nachesa.
- combs for coloring (highlighting): three-sided and with a tail-spoke, used to highlight individual strands.
- "Skeletal" comb, used for rapid drying of short and medium hair.
