“Many people pay attention to hair care products, forgetting that the comb also affects the quality of our strands,” says Elena Sultanova, a hair stylist from the Keep Looking salon chain. - First of all, its choice depends on the type of hair: for example, for very thick and voluminous hair, combs with teeth of different lengths are ideal, for thin ones, it is better to choose soft semicircular combs, and for a scalp prone to oily hair, a natural brush can be useful wood.
Elena Sultanova also recommends paying attention to the quality of the comb, trusting professional brands. It is important not to forget about hygiene: you should not give your comb even to very close people, and ideally it should be washed every day.
It is necessary to understand the types of combs: for example, massage will never replace brushing during styling, and brushing cannot be used as unraveling strands.
