According to the material of combs, we divide the types of combs into the following categories:
No. 1, silver tooth comb or metal comb
Combs are made of metal materials, among which combs with pure silver teeth are commonly used. Combing hair for five minutes every day can effectively remove the old waste keratin accumulated on the scalp, speed up blood circulation, discharge scalp toxins and prevent scalp problems.
Second, horn comb and claw comb
Combs often made of horns and horns can absorb the oil secreted by the scalp to some extent and regulate the oil secretion. Because the natural material of horn comb does not generate static electricity, and it has a certain effect of traditional Chinese medicine, as long as it is used persistently, the scalp can no longer secrete too much oil. It is recommended to comb it two or three times a day, about 50 to 100 times each time.
Third, pure natural bristle comb.
In Europe, it was discovered a long time ago that hair loss can be treated if you often comb your hair with a comb made of bristles. Although there will be slight swelling and pain in the scalp at first, as long as it takes a long time, you will definitely like the enjoyment brought by this stimulation. Combing with bristles can delay hair loss, but it is best not to comb on wet hair when using, otherwise it will shorten the life of comb.
Fourth, horsehair comb.
Because the hair of horsehair comb is very soft, this comb can comb the baby's hair, accelerate the blood circulation of the baby's scalp, and is conducive to the healthy development of the baby's brain. It is recommended to apply special massage oil on the baby's scalp before use, and then comb it after a little massage, which can make the massage get twice the result with half the effort.
Fifth, wooden comb
Wooden combs are very common in the past history, because of the social environment at that time, so wooden combs are more common, and now they have become high-grade combs, which are softer and easier to use!
In addition, according to the detailed functions of combs, we can divide the types of combs into:
1. Universal plastic comb: This is the most commonly used comb in the family, which is generally used to comb long hair and loose hair. Suitable for combing hair before drying or removing dust from hair before shampooing.
2. Sparse board comb: straight comb with cotton pad and plastic comb root. The cotton pad of the comb body is used to massage the scalp, promote the blood circulation of the scalp and help prevent hair loss.
3. Roller comb: it is convenient to comb straight hair into waves, and it is also suitable for combing large hair and coarse hair.
4. Dolphin hair roller comb: a roller comb made of dolphin hair is very easy to use when blowing hair. When you want to shape a curve, just roll up your hair and comb it.
5. iron roller comb: used when you want to curl your hair fastest and simplest. Both the comb root and the comb body are made of iron. Because of good thermal conductivity, hair tends to form wavy curls.
Although there are many kinds of combs, the general effects are not far apart. When we have a busy day, the scalp blood circulation will become very poor, which will easily lead to hair loss and other problems. At this time, combing the scalp with a comb for five minutes every day can promote blood circulation and make the hair roots healthy and strong.
Extension: a healthy way to choose a comb
Combs are divided into wood, horny, tortoise shell, stone, jade, tooth, metal, bamboo, plastic and so on. The ancients were very particular about combs, and different materials had different effects. The choice of comb is related to our health. In order to comb your hair healthily, you must first choose an excellent comb.
(a) selecting a comb from materials
It is advisable to use a round-headed tooth comb of wood comb, horn comb, stone comb and jade comb. Plastic combs are easy to generate static electricity when combing, which makes dry hair drier and easy to break, and also irritates the skin of the head and affects the health of scalp and hair roots. It is not recommended to use them.
(2) From the physical selection of combs
Jade comb is suitable for anyone, but it is more expensive. Bian Shi comb is warm and expensive, suitable for people with cold constitution. Horn comb, of which yellow horn comb is warm and suitable for people with cold constitution; Water horn comb is cool and suitable for people with hot constitution. A wooden comb is suitable for anyone.
(3) Select a comb from the comb teeth.
A good comb depends on its design and technology: the comb teeth are arranged evenly and neatly, with appropriate intervals and not dense; The tips of comb teeth should be blunt and round, not too sharp, so as not to damage the scalp.
(4) Choose the comb from the quality.
If the quality of the comb is poor and inappropriate, your hair will be easily broken and knotted, and you will feel uncomfortable when combing your hair, so don't buy a comb too much. You can try it on the back of your hand with the usual strength of combing your hair to see if it is soft and elastic. Don't buy a sharp, prickly comb.
(5) Select the comb from the function.
When using combs, choose different combs according to different situations. The dense tooth comb is suitable for people with sparse hair. The dense tooth comb looks dense and contacts the scalp more, which can increase blood circulation. Wide-toothed comb is suitable for people whose hair is easily knotted and who wash and blow-dry their hair every day. Improper choice of comb will make hair break easily. In addition, after washing hair, combing it before it is completely dry will hurt the cuticle that has not been closed yet. It is recommended to comb your hair before shampooing, and then blow dry it with a hair dryer or let it dry naturally in the shade before combing your hair.
