Many women want long, thick and soft hair. To keep hair healthy and shiny, methods such as oiling, massage, hair packs and hair spa are used. But along with all this care, combing hair regularly is also important, say these hair care tips.
Combing is the simplest part of a hair care routine. However, if it is not done properly, hair can break more. The tips therefore explain how many times a day hair should be combed and what the right method is.
According to the tips, hair should be combed at least three times a day. But it should be combed properly each time, which means it cannot be done in a hurry. While combing, one should start from the ends of the hair and work upwards. This removes tangles easily and reduces breakage. The tips also say one should not start directly from the roots.
Hair should not be combed when wet, the tips say. Wet hair is very delicate and breaks easily if combed, they note. Using a comb on wet hair should therefore be avoided.
On the right method, the tips say one should first make sure the hair is not too dry or tangled before combing. A little hair serum can be applied as needed to soften the hair. Tangles should then be gently loosened with the fingers. After that, using a wide-toothed comb, one should start detangling from the ends and gradually work up to the roots. This method avoids pulling and breakage, the tips say. To reduce damage, one should not hurry or pull at tangled hair.
The tips also say hair should not be tied tightly after combing. Many people tie their hair tight, but if it is pulled too much, the roots come under strain and the hair can break. If this is done over a long period, the chances of hair fall and a receding hairline also increase, they say.
When tying hair, the tips advise choosing a loose ponytail or a comfortable hairstyle and using rubber bands that do not snag. This protects hair from unnecessary strain. The tips also say a doctor should be consulted if hair is falling excessively for no apparent reason.
