As a rule, combs and various brushes are made of metal, wood, plastic, ceramics, and sometimes silicone or ivory. Bristles can be both natural and artificial. Specialists, of course, advise to use hairbrushes with natural bristles, the ideal option is pig hair. However, the cost of combs with natural bristles is several times higher than the price of brushes made of artificial material.
The most safe and correct are considered to be wooden combs. But their ridges are suitable only for good combing of hair or applying paints and masks at home, as the tree does not participate in chemical reactions with their contents. Of some types of wood make combs that have healing properties. But the properties disappear if the product is varnished.
Plastic combs are considered useful, because they are quite hygienic. They are simply washed, they dry quickly and do not deteriorate from moisture. However, plastic quickly accumulates static electricity. Therefore, good combs are usually covered with a special antistatic solution.
In the past, metal combs were popular, but even now hairdressers sometimes use them. Metal combs quickly get rid of static electricity. But in this kind of combs there are also minuses, for combing every day they will not work, because metal is very harmful for strands.
Silicone combs are usually not made from pure silicone. As a rule, it is an alloy of plastic and silicone, and sometimes rubber is added instead of silicone. Since they are also quite hygienic, and also good against static electricity, they can also compete with plastic combs. When buying a comb, you need to pay attention to the quality of the comb. Ensure that the entire comb, including the teeth, is well polished. There should be no sharp corners that can hurt the scalp when combing.
To choose the right comb you need to consider the type of hair and their length. We choose many different combs, since there are no universal combs. If you have straight hair, then the best is the so-called fish bone. This comb with sparse teeth and soft balls on the ends. Thanks to her hair is easily unraveled, not pushatsya and not torn. And for combing wet hair is recommended to use exclusively fish bone. However, if you have curly hair, then such a comb will not suit you. People with curls and magnificent head of hair are better suited wooden or plastic combs with large rare teeth. To ensure the smoothness of hair, use a carbon fiber comb, as it perfectly slips and does not damage the hair structure. For short hair, scallops with large teeth are also great. If the hair is very confused and electrified, then a metal comb will come to the rescue, but it needs to be able to use, otherwise you can get injuries on the scalp.
A silicone comb is recommended if a hair wig has been applied. They quite well untangle the hair without hurting them. The choice of the brush depends on the same principles as the choice of the comb. It is necessary to know what the hair needs. Here it is worth paying special attention to the bristles. Of course, natural bristles are much better, because it perfectly untangles the hair, not electrifying them, but in addition it is stronger and more effective. Determining natural or artificial bristles is quite simple. If the bristles start to emit a certain smell when heated with a hair dryer, then it is natural. With artificial bristles, everything is much simpler - try to hold a bristle on the palm of your hand - it should not be scratched. It is better to choose a comb with a tissue base, but they are not as common as with rubber. The rubber base does not slip very well and has the property of pulling out hair when combing.
If you are the owner of straight and long hair, then you should choose a comb solely with natural bristles. The same requirements for split hair. Comb with natural bristles gives the hair an unusual smoothness. For people with short haircuts or curly hair, the comb should be chosen with mixed bristles. Shattered curls are more suitable comb with sparse and thick bristles, and possibly bundles of bristles.
Brashing - brushes for styling hair. They can also have a different base and bristles. Their choice depends on the desired result, but usually pay attention to their diameter, stiffness and frequency of teeth.
Brushings with natural bristles are considered to be the best. Bristles can be horse or pork - this is the best material, since it gives hair shine and hair stay in shape longer. Brashing with metal base and natural bristles helps to create curls, and combined, on the contrary, helps straighten. In general, semicircular and round combs are recommended for straightening and laying of curly thin hair, skeleton - give volume at the roots. It is important, when choosing a comb to pay attention to her pen. It should not slip out of the hands, so the surface should be ribbed of rubber or silicone. Experts argue that in the home set must necessarily be a comb "fish bone", massage brush and brashing. If you do not lay your hair every day, then this set is enough.
