Comb your hair correctly in two steps.
The method and intensity should be moderate
Take care of every part of the scalp. Comb teeth must be attached to the scalp, and each part should be combed repeatedly. Don't push too hard, it's too heavy. If it's light, it won't play the role of massage. If it is heavy, it will scratch the scalp. The intensity is moderate, and it is appropriate to have a slight heat sensation on the scalp. If it is dry hair, you can comb it harder; If it is oily hair, use less force, otherwise it will stimulate sebaceous glands to increase secretion. Follow the direction of hair growth, starting from the top of the head and sides, from the hairline of the forehead to the hair roots at the back of the neck, and repeat each part several times, which feels comfortable.
Time rhythm should be reasonable
Comb hair time: five minutes in the morning and five minutes in the evening are appropriate for office workers who work nine to five. If you can stick to it for the rest of the time, of course it will be better. But don't comb your hair after a full meal, it will affect the function of the spleen and stomach. Wet hair should not be combed too much. Many people think that wet hair is easy to comb, but they don't know that moisture will loosen the protein structure of hair and make it more brittle than usual. At this time, if you comb hard, it will cause lasting damage to hair and hair follicles.
