Medical Video: 9 Tips to Keep Hair Clean and Voluminous Longer
Hair is a valuable 'asset' for every woman. Not surprisingly, many women deliberately spend hours in beauty salons just to take care of their hair. The amount of information about hair care is wrong, sometimes making you do things that should not be done, one of which is combing your hair too often.
What are the consequences if combed too often?
If you are among those who believe that combing your hair as often as possible can make your hair long, it's good to stop this habit immediately. This does not mean combing is not good for your hair. There are many benefits of combing that you can get, however, not by combing too often.
Combing too often can make your hair break fast. According to hairdresser Mika Fowler, combing hair normally can make natural oil or sebum in the hair produced by oil glands (sebaceous glands) can be distributed evenly throughout the hair. So every time you finish combing, your hair becomes neat and shiny
Combing hair too often can make friction on the hair which can cause damage to the cuticle and make your hair look curly. Also, if you experience thinning or hair loss, combing your hair too often can add more pressure to the already fragile hair follicles.
It is recommended that you just comb your hair as needed. Gently comb your hair using a wide-toothed comb or comb with soft fur to break down your tangled hair without having to pull and hurt any strands of hair. Not that your hair is getting longer and shiny, your hair will actually be damaged
So, how to comb right?
1. Don't be rude
Nobody likes to be treated harshly, including your hair. However, most women comb their hair roughly, especially when their hair is matted and messy. Gently comb your hair so that it doesn't damage it. Including when drying your hair, do not dry it roughly. Use a towel that can absorb water well.
2. Combing just enough
Some women are indeed difficult to get away from the comb. It's a good idea to reduce the habit. Too often combing your hair will make your hair damaged because it constantly pulls the hair to its roots. Comb your hair just enough.
3. Don't comb when wet hair
Many women immediately comb their hair after shampooing. In fact, wet hair is fragile. Combing hair when wet can trigger hair loss. Dry your hair first before combing it.
4. Start combing from 5 cm after the hair root
Without realizing it, most women comb their hair directly from their roots. In fact, this is a way to comb the wrong. Combing this way can make hair pulled from the roots and cause hair loss. Therefore, it is recommended that you comb your hair from 5 cm after the hair root.
5. Select the appropriate comb, avoid plastic combs
In addition to the method, the type of comb you use will greatly affect the health of your hair. Avoid using combs with 100% plastic material, because the static electricity created from a plastic comb can cause the hair shaft to get hurt. Indeed this condition is invisible, but the hair will decrease its smoothness.
6. Make sure your comb is clean
Apart from choosing the right comb, make sure the comb you are using is clean. Clean your comb at least once a week. A dirty comb can make the scalp dirty and clog the pores. As a result, the scalp will itch and can even dandruff. Don't want this to happen to you, right?
After knowing how to comb the right hair, you will be able to give more care to your crown.
