What comb is better for hair?

Advertising slogans in advertising expensive hair products promise that your hair will be shiny and silky. It is a pity that such PR actions are not carried out when selling ordinary hairbrushes: a competent choice of a hair brush is a simple way, like all ingenious, to heal the hair.

Specialists can read a whole lecture on the effect of a comb not only on the hair, but also on the scalp. And this is not an exaggeration: the curls can suffer from an incorrectly chosen accessory no less than from frequent staining or the use of styling products.

Many believe that it is primarily about the materials used in the manufacture. But it's not so simple: the main slogan, which should be guided by the purchase, is almost a medical prescription - “do no harm”. It is possible to harm not only discounted comb, which will ruthlessly tear out hair instead of soft combing, it is also a matter of the purpose of the accessory, as well as the type of hair.

That brush, which will be the "perfect pair" for a short-haired girl, is absolutely not suitable for the owner of naughty curls. And women who want to find an option to create a spectacular styling, just go different ways with those who are looking for the most simple model for combing at night.

To take into account all of the above factors, it is worthwhile to elaborate on each of them.

In the case of combs, which are designed to perform its direct function - to tidy up the hair - the lineup is not infinitely large. The main differences relate, perhaps, only to materials and forms, but it is still possible to classify them.

The top of the combs that turn tangled hair into neat curls includes:

• Massage brush. It seems that there is no option easier and better, because the model combines two functions at once - it massages the scalp, which has a positive effect on hair growth, and, of course, combing.

• Hair Dissolving Brush. The name speaks for itself - this model perfectly copes even with wet hair and helps in situations where it is necessary to deal with mats. The secret is in the bristles, which is characterized by increased flexibility.

• Scallop. This type will suit owners of short hair. Variations mass - and metal, and plastic, and wood. True, the preference is given to the latter: the metal damages hair too much, and the plastic electrifies them.

• Comb for hair extensions. Owners of hair, lush not from nature, you should look at those accessories, the bristle of which is an intricate loop. Thanks to them, you can put in order accrued curls, without fear of tearing the whole strand.

• Comb with natural bristles. There are plenty of bonuses for such a brush: no static electricity in the hair, soft massage of the skin, no damage when dealing with heavily tangled strands. The stop sign is only for those who have hair that is prone to fat.

The combs that are in the arsenal of professional hairdressers are disproportionately more.It is not necessary to collect the whole collection in order to create attractive images, it is enough just to decide which styling is to be done most often.

If you need to give your hair a daily shape, then the best fit brushing. With it and a hair dryer, you can make almost any styling: straighten curls, create curls, lay tips or add volume. As a rule, combs are made of natural bristles, so you don’t have to worry about keeping your hair healthy.

If you need to care for haircuts of medium length or square, then it is worth staying on a semicircular comb. On the protruding base there are long teeth, with which the hair is perfectly drawn out or simply takes a much neater shape.

If you need to give pomp to the curls, then an indispensable thing will be a skeletal comb. Another name is fishbone. Most often it is used immediately after shampooing, during the drying of the hair, when you need to make sure that the hair “lies” correctly. Usually, after application, you can safely fall asleep - not a single pillow can spoil the effect.

If you need to lay bangs, then you need to pay attention to the small round brush. It is quite easy to handle and care, so even a novice can cope with the installation.

Perhaps the key choice to be made is to decide on the material.

Experts recommend to pay attention to wooden models, which are so useful for the skin. If you delve into the topic and understand exactly what kind of wood helps in eliminating specific hair problems, the result will exceed expectations. So, those who are familiar with the problem of dandruff, should look for a cherry or beech brush. If you want to quickly grow a luxurious mane - birch, which helps to accelerate hair growth and is considered the best for applying balsams.

With all the undeniable merits, wooden combs have not minuses, but nuances. No matter how attractive the bright colored accessory may seem, it is better to abandon it in favor of unpainted wood. It is also necessary to pay attention to the processing - it should be perfect. Otherwise, the comb will quickly become worthless, absorbing everything from sebum to hairspray.

Plastic brushes are also very popular. There are several reasons for this:

• The shape and colors for every taste;
• Relatively low cost;
• A wide range that allows you to find a compact version that fits into the smallest handbag.
• In addition, models with special impregnation appeared, transforming the usual procedure into a real scrubbing.

The only, but serious complaint of users about plastic combs - electrified hair after combing. Plastic and hair are poorly compatible, although today you can find brushes that do not cause such an effect.

Combs made of metal have high strength and wear resistance, and also do not require specific care. But it is not recommended to use it all the time - the metal is too “rough” in relation to soft female hair, as well as to the scalp.

Silicone combs stand apart, which are confidently gaining positions in the modern market.Unlike their plastic counterparts, they have an antistatic effect, and therefore do not have a negative impact on the hair.

Often they are used to evenly and gently apply vitamin formulas or nourishing balms, however, silicone is also suitable for everyday use. It is his bristles that are considered the most flexible.

Nylon brushes are considered to be a good option for every day, and are also suitable for creating hairstyles at home for all women - an exception is the owners of curls. Unlike comb with natural bristles, nylon accessories have an affordable price, but they do not lose much quality.

If we talk about professional hairbrushes (implied models used by stylists-hairdressers), then masters' trust is earned by ceramics, carbon and ebonite. Any of these models has a fairly high price, but meets the high requirements: it does not electrify hair, does not emit toxins under the influence of hot air. A ceramic brush can also ionize hair, and ebonite is indispensable for dyeing or chemical perm.

Straight hair perfectly combed with a brush with natural bristles, and curly - silicone. In the first case, only the quality of the purchased accessory is important (it is worth examining the brands and products carefully), and in the second, the key role is the material. Curly curl requires careful handling, and silicone combs the strand without damaging it. Plus, after the procedure of combing the curls will not turn into a shapeless nest, but will curl beautifully.

For problem hair, there are separate recommendations:

• With increased production of sebum is to resort to the use of wooden combs, providing it with proper care (daily washing).
• For thin and weak hair, a natural material brush is also suitable, which will massage the head, improve blood flow and help accelerate growth.
• The same advice applies in cases where the hair falls out.
• But prone to dry hair shows the most gentle bristles, elastic, like silicone.

The quantity will not replace quality, but it is important to clarify - if a girl is used to long curls, then you need to choose two models at once. The one that is intended for regular combing, and the one that will be an auxiliary tool for creating styling.

But owners of bold short haircuts can not worry about the number - one quality comb is enough. Pay attention only to the length of the teeth. The shorter the hair, the shorter the length should be.

Needless to say that during the shopping trip you should not look into questionable shops? Just as you do not need to strive for atomic discounts: brushes with a natural bristle or made from natural materials cannot be cheap by definition. This also applies to brassings: a high-quality accessory can cost a pretty penny, but will last for a long time and will not hurt the curls. And in the case of comb-hair dryers or any technically equipped brushes you should trust well-known brands - they won't let you down.

Despite the inconsistency of the reviews, the fair sex is unanimous in one thing: the perfect comb can be found only through trial and error. Some were lucky, say, with a hairdresser who was able to advise on the best accessory, and someone was used to using a particular model of a particular brand. This is a kind of confirmation that the choice of a brush should be started not from studying products, but from studying your own hair.

Many people buy combs in stores such as iHerb, and are guided by the reviews left there. This approach is always welcome, because you can appreciate both the pros and cons of each model.
