The health care function of combing therapy has attracted people's attention. Combs should be made of natural materials such as bamboo or ox horn, and attention should be paid when purchasing: the comb teeth are too sharp and easy to cut the scalp; Comb teeth are too dense, which is easy to clip hair; The comb teeth are too sparse to achieve the purpose of combing and cleaning. Comb therapy should be persistent, and the longer it lasts, the better the effect.
When combing your hair, you should start from your forehead and comb it backwards to the pillow (under the back of your head). Comb your hair flat like a rake. Be sure to stick to the scalp with moderate intensity, and comb it 100 times in 2 minutes, 200 ~ 300 times every morning. When the scalp feels bloated and numb, it means that the requirements have been met. You can do it again in the afternoon, but you should not comb it before going to bed at night.
